Free Toronto Raptors vs. Golden State Warriors NBA Prediction:
It’s a rematch of the NBA Finals on Thursday, March 5th with the Toronto Raptors facing the Golden State Warriors for the first time this season.
Although both franchises have been mired in injury all season one has dealt with more substantial injuries and are looking good to capture the top draft pick this summer. While the other has dealt with the fourth most lost man games to injury and are ahead of the pace from their championship season.
Last season, the teams played twice with the Raptors winning both matches. The Warriors hold the all-time record having bested the Raptors in 28 of their 45 matches
Toronto Raptors
For the second time this season the Raptors had a three-game losing streak but stopped the bleeding in Phoenix. Without either of their centers available head coach Nick Nurse elected to start Pascal Siakam at the five.
Initially, the Raptors took a while to adjust with the small lineup and fell behind by 17 points. However, Toronto’s defense wore down the Suns as Pascal Siakam and Kyle Lowry took over.

Nick Nurse criticized the performance of his reserves and elected to shortened his rotation. The move paid dividends as Chris Boucher stepped up with a double-double of 19 points and 15 rebounds.
Siakam led the way with 33 points and seven rebounds. Lowry had to leave the game after taking an elbow in the eye from teammate Terence Davis but returned to register 28 points, six assists, and five rebounds.
Norman Powell added 26 points while OG Anunoby was everywhere defensively and chipped in 11 points with nine rebounds.
Team leaders for the season are Siakam in scoring (23.7), Lowry for assists (7.6), OG Anunoby for rebounds (5.5) and steals (1.4), Boucher for blocks (1.0) and Serge Ibaka for field goal percentage (51.8%).
Injuries have been difficult to navigate especially with both centers out. Ibaka (knee) and Fred VanVleet (shoulder) remain questionable for this match.
Marc Gasol (hamstring) is out indefinitely.
Golden State Warriors
Stephen Curry flirted with returning to a few recent matches but says this is the game he’ll be back which feels appropriate given the Raptors were the team who beat the Warriors in the NBA Finals.
The Dubs are coming off a shocking 116-100 win over the Denver Nuggets. Canadian Andrew Wiggins always gets up to play his home town Raptors and enters off a 22 point, 10 assist double-double performance.
Eric Paschall (22), Marquese Chriss (16), Jordan Poole (15), Mychal Mulder (15) and Dragan Bender (14) were the other double-figure contributors.
On the season, Andrew Wiggins leads scoring (22.8), field goal percentage (57.9%),.blocks (1.8) and steals (2.0). Stephen Curry is the assists leader with 6.5 and Draymond Green offers the most rebounds (6.3).
Draymond Green (pelvis) and Kevon Looney (hip) were out the last three and two games respectively and are listed as questionable.
Ky Bowman (ankle) is out indefinitely and Klay Thompson (knee) will miss the season.
NBA Betting Trends:
- Over is 10-3 in TOR last 13 road games.
- Over is 7-3 in GS last 10 Thu. games.
- Over is 10-4 in the last 14 meetings
Free Toronto Raptors vs. Golden State Warriors NBA Prediction:
Toronto should win this easily but with Curry back and possibly Green and Looney things could get interesting especially if Ibaka and VanVleet remain out.
I’m inclined to go with Raptors to cover but with so much uncertainty over injuries and pride on the line I’m hedging to a closer contest.
