The Trail Blazers are entering this game with a 22-22 record overall this season and they are 12-10 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They are entering this game on a 3 game winning streak with wins coming against the Atlanta Hawks, the Los Angeles Lakers, and the Sacramento Kings, but this is also the 2nd game of a back-to-back for them with their game against the Miami Heat still to be played on Thursday night.

The current betting odds have the Raptors listed as a 5.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Raptors have looked good in their games this season with their 27-19 record overall which has them in the top half of the East. They have been a good road team too with their 14-9 road record this season. Meanwhile, the Trail Blazers haven't looked great in their games this season with their 22-22 record overall which has them in the bottom half of the West. They have looked better on their home court though with their 12-10 home record this year. The Trail Blazers had a really rough start to the season with a lot of drama around their head coach who is no longer with the team, but they have turned things around and have been rolling in their games lately as they try to get over .500 for the first time in weeks. They are 8-2 in their last 10 games and they have a lot of momentum on their side with 3 wins in a row now, but they have also been beating up on a lot of bad teams lately. They aren't in a great situation here either, playing this game on a back-to-back with a tough game against the Heat on Thursday. They aren't going to have their best effort for this game the next night, and the Raptors have been a really steady team in the East all season. They haven't been rolling lately like the Trail Blazers, but the Raptors are still 6-4 in their last 10 games and have won 2 games in a row now. They are also going to have the rest advantage and they have a lot more talent to lean on than the Trail Blazers do, especially with all of the injuries that the Trail Blazers have been dealing with. The best way to place a bet here is on the Raptors to cover the spread in this game.

“When Jamali's on the ball, he knows how to get Quick involved and get him back on the ball. He does a really good job of touching the paint, and finding extra pass there, and Quickley, I think, he's doing a really good job of balancing being really aggressive and looking to score.” - Darko Rajakovic after his team’s win against the Kings in their game on Wednesday.

“Not bad for a guy that was out for like a week.” - Tiago Splitter on Deni Avdija after his team’s win against the Kings in their game on Sunday.
