Why The Raptors Could Cover The Spread

The Raptors are struggling to stay afloat. However, they have some talent that could help them win. Siakam averages 24.8 points per game. Also, he averages eight rebounds per contest with 6.2 assists. VanVleet averages 19.8 points per game with 6.5 assists. Meanwhile, Trent averages 18.9 points per game. But the Raptors are still without OG Anunoby, who is out with an injury. Conversely, Scottie Barnes is the next option at 15.7 points per game.

The Raptors are 12th in the association in field goal shooting percentage. Likewise, they are 20th in 3-point shooting percentage. The Raptors also struggle at the charity stripe, ranking 27th in free throw shooting percentage. Also, the Raptors are okay on the boards, ranking 16th in rebounds. But Toronto has amazing ballhandlers. Significantly, the Raptors are the best team in the league in turnovers. Additionally, the Raptors are seventh in the league in blocked shots.

The Raptors could cover the spread if their scorers hit their shots. Moreover, they must win the battle on the boards and maintain possession.

Why The Grizzlies Could Cover The Spread

The Grizzlies will be without Brooks. Also, Jaren Jackson missed the last game and is unsure about today's contest. But the Grizzlies have Morant and Bane, who are two of the best in the league. Ultimately, they gave the Grizzlies a fantastic chance to succeed and can carry Memphis over the hump. The Grizzlies have the talent and coaching to strive. However, they must hit their shots.

The Grizzlies are 19th in field goal shooting percentage. Also, they are 23rd in 3-point shooting percentage. The Grizzlies win many games. However, they can get cold. The Grizzlies are also 30th in free-throw shooting percentage. Unfortunately, they struggle to hit their shots at the charity stripe. The Grizzlies are the second-best in the NBA in rebounding. Moreover, they are second in blocked shots. The Grizzlies excel in defending the rim, and it is a huge reason they thrive. However, they are 17th in turnovers, showcasing their inconsistency in handling the ball.

The Grizzlies could cover the spread if they can hit their shots. Moreover, they need to handle the rock better. But the Grizzlies must also capitalize on their strengths.

Final Raptors-Grizzlies Prediction & Pick

The suspension of Brooks and the uncertainty of Jackson and Adams play a significant role in the spread. Ultimately, if Adams or Jackson play, it can make a huge difference in the outcome of this game. The Grizzlies are a loaded team and have proven they can win without one star. However, winning without three of their stars could be difficult. But I still expect the Grizzlies to find a way to win by at least four points.

Final Raptors-Grizzlies Prediction & Pick: Memphis Grizzlies: -3.5 (-112)
