Betting on the Toronto Raptors
- Season record: 24-30.
The Toronto Raptors were able to take advantage of their matchup against the worst team so far this season, the Houston Rockets.The rival was a perfect match for them to break the streak of 2 consecutive defeats that they had been dragging and that gives them a bit of confidence to have to visit the second best team in the Western Conference.
Playing away from home is not something this team is good at, as they have lost 18 of the 27 games they have played in this condition, so they will have to improve considerably if they want to stand up to Memphis.
However, this has not been a factor in them facing this opponent on their home field, winning in the 4 most recent visits to Tennessee.
Betting on the Memphis Grizzlies
- Season record: 32-20.
Memphis is either unwilling to challenge Denver for first place, or they’ve hit a rough patch in their play. Their recent poor results are difficult to explain. They return home after a decisive loss to Cleveland on February 2nd.
The defeat marks their 7th loss in their last 8 games, with most of these games being played away from home, which has not been a strength for them. The Grizzlies need to refocus and return to their feared offensive form, as their average of 116.5 points per night highlights their scoring potential.
JefeBet Prediction
Prior to the 122-112 loss to Portland, Memphis had won eight consecutive home games. In fact, they have only lost 4 home games so far in the regular season, figures that explain why they are the second-best team in the Western Conference.
If they return to the level of play that allowed them to win so many games on their home field, Toronto will surely have no chance to neutralize them, much less with their negative away numbers. Therefore, the Grizzlies are expected to catch some breathing room in Sunday’s game.
Prediction: Memphis Grizzlies Spread.
