Predictions, Odds, and Betting Preview for the Toronto Raptors vs Phoenix Suns NBA Regular Season Game on January 30, 2023
- Where: Footprint Center, Phoenix, Arizona
- When: Monday, January 30, 2023, 9:00 PM ET
Betting on the Toronto Raptors
- Regular Season Record: 23-28
Although they still have a lot to do to catch up, the Toronto Raptors have been slowly improving their record in recent weeks, and to the surprise of many, they have done so in the midst of a long road trip in which they have won two of their first three games, putting them just 1.0 game out of the Eastern Conference playoff spots.
The Raptors’ last game was last Sunday against the Portlant Trail Blazers, where they did not show any fatigue problems despite having played the night before and managed to outplay the home team to beat them by 123-105.
Center Precious Achiuwa was the Raptors’ leading scorer in their last game, scoring 27 goals. This level of performance is what the Canadian team needs to show more often to help Pascal Siakam more, who is the team’s offensive leader with 25.1 points and 6.4 assists per game.
Betting on the Phoenix Suns
- Regular Season Record: 26-25
Meanwhile, the return of Chris Paul gave the Phoenix Suns the breath of fresh air they needed to begin to put an end to their worst stretch of the campaign, as they have now moved their record back to .500 after winning five of their last six games. However, with only 3.0 games separating the fifth-ranked team in the West from the 13th, they know they can’t slow down just yet.
Although they had to work harder than expected, the Suns managed to overcome the San Antonio Spurs last Sunday by a score of 128-118, after an overtime that they dominated by an 18-8 margin. Mikal Bridges and DeAndre Ayton were the spark plugs for the team in that game, scoring 25 and 23 points, respectively.
The Suns need more and more wins, and there is no better place to try to do it than at home, where they have been at their best and have a record of 18 wins and 8 losses, allowing an excellent average of 108.7 points per game.
JefeBet Prediction
The Suns are on an important upward trend, recovering their defensive solidity and being much more productive on offense, led by Paul, who keeps leading his young teammates, although things will not be easy for them here against a good visiting defense.
For their part, the Raptors are also going through a very good moment, with an offense that has done the job better and even managed to be a much more competitive team away from home, where they have a record of 8-16.
With both teams coming in at a high level, this will surely be a very close game until the end, so we think the best option is to expect the Raptors to continue their great momentum and at least cover the Spread on this occasion.
Prediction: Toronto Raptors Spread.
