Preview:
The 24-12 Raptors host the 15-21 Blazers here, laying just one point. Toronto is absolutely decimated with injuries at the moment and I like Portland in this spot.
The Raptors have five rotation players out injured for this one; Siakam, Gasol, Van Vleet, Powell, and Thomas. Portland are relatively injury free, with CJ McCollum questionable but expected to play.
While the Raptors have looked great this season, I think the injuries will begin to catch up to them here. They’re asking guys like Pat McCaw, OG Anunoby, Rondae Hollis Jefferson and Chris Boucher to play big minutes.
This is also a very important game for Portland as they fight for a playoff spot out West. The absence of VanVleet is especially huge here, as it takes away an option to guard the lethal Portland backcourt.
Portland will have more talent on the floor in this one and I’m predicting a big game from Lillard to give them the road win and cover.
Odds:
Tip: Toronto Raptors at $1.67
