The Suns have had a forgettable December as they not only dropped from first place in the Western Conference, but also are now fifth in the standings and three games out of that spot in the rankings, with their star player Devin Booker’s injury being one of the contributing factors to this.
The team from Phoenix is in the middle of a stretch in which they’ve lost four of its last five matches,the most recent being last Wednesday against the Washington Wizards. In this game, the Suns were outplayed in all aspects and ended up losing 102-127, despite the 31 points scored by Deandre Ayton.
Playing away from home has also been a headache for the Suns this campaign, as they have recorded 11 of their 16 losses at home, giving up an average of 114.6 points scored and 114.9 points allowed per game in the process.
Betting on the Toronto Raptors
- Regular Season Record: 15-19
- BetMGM Spread: [To be determined]
- BetMGM Moneyline: [To be determined]
- BetMGM Over/Under: [To be determined]
The Raptors have not fared much better either, coming into this game with only two wins in their last ten games and in eleventh place in the Eastern Conference, three games out of the playoff spots.
While the Canadian team has managed to put up a decent performance at home this campaign, averaging 111.2 points allowed per game, they have not been able to do the best on offense, averaging just 111.4 points scored per game, Pascal Siakam was the team’s best in this area with an average of 26.6 points, 6.8 assists and 8.5 rebounds per game..
JefeBet Prediction
The Suns have significant difficulties playing away from home, particularly on defense. However, given that they will be playing the Raptors this time, a team that not only arrives at a very bad time but has also faced numerous difficulties to produce on offense, perhaps they’ll be able to have a better performance in that area.
Moreover, although Booker’s absence is a considerable loss, the Suns still have good weapons to do well on offense, even more so against a Raptors team that will come into this game tired after playing the night before.
Although the Raptors are at home, we believe yesterday’s game will take its toll on them in this game against a rested and hungry Suns. That’s why we expect the Suns to dominate things here and come away with the win.
Prediction: Phoenix Suns Spread.
