Betting on the San Antonio Spurs
- Regular Season Record: 14-39
That previous clash against the Toronto Raptors could be an example of the San Antonio Spurs’ dismal campaign, who find themselves off the bottom of the Western Conference thanks to edging the Houston Rockets by just one win. However, with eight defeats in a row on their back, they have to react, or else it will be a matter of time before they become the worst team in their zone.
However, their outlook does not appear to be the best in the coming weeks, as they will be playing the second of a nine-game road trip that began with a loss to the Chicago Bulls. That loss dropped the Spurs’ away record to just five wins and 19 losses.
The Texans’ worst performance this season has come on defense, and being away does not bode well for them, as they have averaged 124.3 points allowed in that situation this season.
Betting on the Toronto Raptors
- Regular Season Record: 25-30
The Canadians have had a very complicated campaign, and although they have looked much better recently, they have barely been able to keep themselves fighting for a playoff spot. They are only half a game away from those places, so a loss will not be among their plans this time around.
The Raptors will at least head into this game with a lot of confidence after finishing a tough seven-game road trip through the West with two straight wins. The last one was against the Memphis Grizzlies by a close score of 106-103, in which seven of its players contributed at least 10 points.
While their home numbers are not outstanding either, being a home team will surely make Raptors fans much more confident of a third win in a row, considering that they have a positive record of 15-13 at home, an average of 113.0 points scored, and 111.0 points allowed per game.
JefeBet Prediction
One of the main headaches for the Raptors this campaign has been their offense, which even at home has not put up great numbers. However, this could be an opportunity to redeem themselves, as they are facing a team that is very permissive on defense and that they were able to destroy in their previous game.
In addition, the Spurs have been terrible this campaign, not only on defense but also on offense, averaging just 112.1 points per game. So this game, against a decent home defense, will not be an easy one for them either.
The Raptors are far superior to the Spurs in most aspects, so we expect them to dominate from start to finish and take a comfortable win from this game.
Prediction: Toronto Raptors Spread.
