Spurs vs Raptors: Both teams are coming off losses
The San Antonio Spurs are visiting the Toronto Raptors on Monday at Scotiabank Arena.
The Spurs have lost the last seven games
The San Antonio Spurs are at the bottom of the Western Conference with a 10-43 record and have five wins less than the closest team in the standings. They have lost the last seven games and are coming off a 123-103 loss to the Brooklyn Nets. The Spurs are the worst three-point shooting team in the league with 34.1% from deep and are ranked 24th in the league with 112 points per game. Victor Wembanyama is the best player on the team, averaging 20.1 points, 10 rebounds, and 3 blocks per game.
Does Toronto have any hopes this season?
The Toronto Raptors are 12th in the Eastern Conference with a 19-34 record. They have lost four of the last six games and are coming off a 119-95 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Toronto is 14th in the league, shooting 47.7% from the field, and is ranked 19th with 113.9 points per game. Scottie Barnes, who will make his All-Star debut, leads the Raptors with 20.1 points per game.
Betting Trends
The Raptors are 5-10 ATS in the last 15 games overall, 3-6 ATS in the last 9 games played in February and 7-3 ATD in the last 10 games against teams from the Northwest Division. The Spurs are 1-6 ATS in the last 7 games and 1-8 ATS in the last 9 games against teams from the Atlantic Division.
Prediction and Conclusion
Both teams are struggling this season and are in a rebuilding process. The Spurs are patient with Victor Wembanyama, who shows his potential on any given night, but the first pick of the last draft is playing limited minutes. The Raptors traded the majority of their starting lineup, with Dennis Schroder being the last one to go. They are very limited, especially on the point guard spot, which gives the Spurs a real chance in this game. The Raptors are 6.5-point favorites, and Wembanyama and his teammates will be close enough to get the spread covered.
