Raptors VS Thunder Picks

In tonight’s matchup between the Raptors and Thunder, there is sure to be plenty of highlights on display as two dynamic young teams compete for a much needed win.

The Toronto Raptors found their way back into the win column in their last outing, defeating the Houston Rockets in a back-and-forth affair. Without Pascal Siakam the Raptors certainly have not performed to the best of their ability. After losing their top offensive weapon as well as vocal leader on the court, the Raptors have made the best of the situation but are still struggling to produce at a high level.

On the other side of this battle are the OKC Thunder who have been on the wrong end of the scoreboard in their last four games. With a few close calls sprinkled into this rough patch, the Thunder have had no answers defensively this season, relying on their offence to secure them victories.

Look for both teams to play desperate in this matchup as the outcome could come down to the flip of a coin. Get all the best bets and winning picks on the Raptors VS Thunder and secure a win on a tight matchup.

Moneyline/Point Spread Pick: Toronto Raptors (ML/-5)

The Raptors may not be at 100%, but don’t let this cloud your judgement. Even without top frontcourt players in their lineup, the Raps have found ways to win games using their incredible defence. Limiting their opponents scoring chances, the Raptors excel at forcing turnovers and getting buckets in transition, pushing their opposition on their heels, and making them play at their tempo.

Facing a Thunder team that generally takes care of the ball well, look for the Raptors to apply pressure to the inexperienced members of the Thunder and strip them of the ball in the defensive zone.

Additionally, in the half-court the Thunder will have little to no answers for the Raptors beautiful ball movement, as they currently only have a few reliable defenders to roll out on a nightly basis. This will leave the Thunder exposed to several easy scoring opportunities in favour of the Raptors, finding three-point shooters open along the perimeter routinely throughout the game.

Look for the Raptors to outclass their opponents, forcing the Thunder to chuck up ill-advised shots to try and stay within striking distance, while the Raptors pick them apart and cruise to an easy road win. Back the Raptors to crush the Thunder, taking home the win and covering the five-point spread in their victory.

Over/Under Pick: Under 219.5 Total Points

The Raptors are set to control the pace of the game from start to finish, so expect tonight’s matchup to be fairly low-scoring. Missing their top scorer, the Raptors have found success by slowing the pace of the game when in control of the ball, limiting scoring chances for their opponents, and winning ugly as a result.

While the Thunder are an explosive team offensively, don’t rely on them to crack the code of the Raptors defence and put up their normal scoring averages. The Thunder don’t have enough go-to bucket getters to maintain control of this game, with the Raptors long and athletic defence able to matchup well with their top-scorers.

Watch for a slow pace and methodical shooting night from both sides in tonight’s contest, resulting in a low-scoring matchup, making the Under a fantastic bet to make on the Raptors VS Thunder.

Scottie Barnes Under 8.5 Rebounds

Stepping up his game over the past few contests, Scottie Barnes has been a swiss army knife for the Raptors this season, able to chip in as a facilitator, rebounder, and scorer whenever he is called upon.

Facing a Thunder team that relies on athleticism and versatility to get the job done, look for Barnes to have a tougher time producing than he normally would. Being matched up with players similar to him in size and ability, Barnes may struggle to find the same output he has found in recent games.

Take the Under on Barnes rebound total, an area of his game we have seen dip in production over the last two matchups. While he may overachieve in other areas of the game, the Under on his board gathering total is a great bet.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Under 5.5 Assists

A potential All-Star this season, Canadian Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been stuffing stat sheets on a routine basis this season. Looking like one of the top young stars in the entire NBA, SGA has his hand in the pot of all things successful for the Thunder.

A combo-guard that can excel at all levels of the game, look for SGA to put more of his focus on scoring rather than dishing it out to the rest of his teammates. Likely going to be covered by opposing point guard, Fred VanVleet for much of the game, look for Gilgeous-Alexander to utilize his height and length against his shorter defender.

With his focus placed on scoring the rock, look for a drop-off in his assist numbers and bet the Under on Gilgeous-Alexanders assist total tonight.
