San Antonio Spurs vs Toronto Raptors Prediction: Will Gregg Popovich's team consolidate their success?

San Antonio twice in a row beat Phoenix - one of the favorites of the Western Conference this season. In the game with Toronto, will Gregg Popovich's team consolidate their success? Let's pick a few bets on another early NBA matchup at once.

The games against Phoenix confirmed that San Antonio can make some noise already this season. First, the Spurs rebounded from an 18-point second-half handicap in the first game to win 115:114. In the second game, the team almost lost the same advantage but eventually took the end - 132:121.

It should be noted that Victor Wembanyama showed all his best qualities in the second match against the Suns. The Frenchman scored 38 points, making 3 of 6 shots from beyond the three-point arc, ten rebounds, two blocked shots, and one steal. A player with such a diverse skill set may have never been in the NBA before.

The Raptors, under new Serbian coach Darko Rajakovic, are playing slow, positional basketball, and so far, that style hasn't always brought the team results. Take the previous two games. Toronto first confidently beat Milwaukee 130:111 at home and then lost 99:114 to Philadelphia.

Toronto is 2-4 in the starting lineup. The Canadiens appear to be a solid team, but it will be extremely difficult to claim anything serious this season.

Toronto has won only two games out of the starting four and doesn't look like a team that can be counted among the contenders. It's all the more surprising that the Canadian team approaches the game with San Antonio as a clear favorite. The wins over Phoenix will likely inspire the Spurs, and they'll extend their winning streak. At least there's nothing in Toronto's game right now that would allow the Raptors to stop Victor Wembanyama.
