Free Toronto Raptors vs. Brooklyn Nets NBA Prediction:
Saturday, January 4th, the Toronto Raptors face the Brooklyn Nets for the second time this season. In the initial meeting on December 14th the Raptors won 110-102.
Last season, the teams played four times with the Raptors winning three of the contests. The Raptors hold the all-time record having bested the Nets in 54 of their 94 matches
Toronto Raptors
This will be the ninth game the Raptors are without Pascal Siakam, Marc Gasol and Norman Powell after losing them all in one night in the game in Detroit. Coach Nick Nurse said they are all still out for a while.
To put in perspective how vital this trio is to the club the last time the Raptors and Nets played they accounted for 72 points, 29 rebounds, eight assists, four steals, five blocks, and 17 made triples.

While the Raptors are still competitive being without this group as well as Matt Thomas who shoots over 50 percent from deep is taking its toll.
Knowing this the Heat elected to play Toronto almost the entirety of the game in the zone. The resulting effect was the Raptors’ lowest scoring effort in over four seasons.
The frontcourt of Serge Ibaka (19 points, 10 rebounds) and OG Anunoby (12 points, 12 rebounds) both tallied double-doubles while Kyle Lowry scored 15 and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson added 13.
Pascal Siakam (groin), Norm Powell (shoulder), Marc Gasol (hamstring) will miss their ninth consecutive games while Matt Thomas (broken finger) misses his 21st. Dewan Hernandez (ankle) is out indefinitely.
Brooklyn Nets
Like the Raptors the Nets have dealt with injuries to key players just not as many all at once. Certainly being without Kyrie Irving for over 20 games hasn’t helped but Spencer Dinwiddie has feasted in his absence.
After missing 24 games Caris LeVert is expected to make his return in this match.
The Nets are on a four-game losing streak to the Knicks, Rockets, Wolves, and Mavericks and are getting Toronto at an ideal time, but that doesn’t mean the Raptors will just toss in the while flag — just ask the Mavericks and Celtics.
In the loss to the Mavericks, seven different Nets scored in double-figures. Spencer Dinwiddie led the way with 19 points while DeAndre Jordan produced a double-double of 10 points and 10 rebounds.
Taurean Prince, Joe Harris, Wilson Chandler, Theo Pinson all scored 11 points while Dzanan Musa chipped in 14.
Spencer Dinwiddie leads the team in scoring (22.8) and assists (6.3). Jarrett Allen tops rebounds (10.1), field goal percentage (65.7%) and blocks (1.3).
Garrett Temple (knee) and LeVert (thumb) are probable. Kyrie Irving (shoulder) and Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) are out. David Nwaba (Achilles) and Kevin Durant (Achilles) out for the season.
NBA Betting Trends:
- The Raptors are 9-1 ATS in their last 10
- The Raptors are 6-4 in last 10 head to head
- Over Under is 4-6 in team’s last 10 head to head matchups
Free Toronto Raptors vs. Brooklyn Nets NBA Prediction:
I know the Raptors are injury riddled but they seldom have consecutive bad games. Moreover the Nets aren’t close to the same defensive talent as the Heat.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick:
It’s a little surprising a team who’ve lost four in a row is favored so unless the refs are going to send the Nets to the line three times as much as the Raptors I don’t see them winning. Funny thing is that’s also not out of the question (refs – free throws)
