Suns vs. Raptors Odds
Game Preview
The Phoenix Suns (39-27) have been one of the most consistent teams in the West in recent weeks, winning 6 of their last 7 games. Devin Booker is the reason for that, as he plays at an All-NBA level, averaging 24.9 PPG. He comes into this event after a 43-point burst in Indy.
The Suns rely heavily on their 6th-ranked scoring defense, which allows 111 points. They are improving in this category as the season goes on.
The Toronto Raptors (36-29) are looking to bounce back after a tough road loss to Houston. Toronto ranks 4th in the NBA with 28.8 assists per game, and that’s head coach Darko Rajakovic’s signature on this team.
Scottie Barnes is officially listed as questionable for tonight due to an illness. If he doesn’t play, it’ll be a huge loss for the Canadian team, because Barnes is their best player by far.
