Golden State Warriors vs Toronto Raptors prediction
This line is very strange when you consider the form of both the Warriors and Raptors. Yes, the Golden State Warriors are on the end of a back to back, so there is always some worry about possibly resting guys. However, the Warriors are hot, and they’re still fighting for possible playoff positioning, so there’s really no wiggle room to rest players. The Toronto Raptors have been hit or miss all season and can’t be trusted against good teams. Home court also hasn’t helped the Raptors, where they’re 12-17 SU on the year. The line is too soft. Give me the Warriors.
