Toronto Raptors vs Phoenix Suns Prediction: the Suns are capable of beating the Raptors

Prediction for the NBA match which will take place on February 24. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Toronto Raptors

The Raptors started to qualify for the play-in game at a certain point in the season, but then gave up the tournament fight. Now Darko Rajakovic's team is 13th in the Eastern Conference with a 17-39 record and 5.0 wins behind the top-10.

Toronto suffered another setback in the first game after the restart of the regular season. On home court, the Canadian team achieved the right to overtime in a duel with Miami, but in the extra five minutes failed - 111:120 (107:107). This defeat was the sixth for the Raptors in the last seven games.

Phoenix Suns

Unlike the Raptors, the Suns would like to qualify for the playoffs, but now the participation of Mike Budenholzer's team even in the play-in round is in question. Phoenix loses more often than wins, has a negative 27-29 record, sits 11th in the Western Conference and is 1.5 wins behind the top ten.

In the last match Phoenix won, coping on the road with Chicago - 121:117. Thus, the Suns interrupted the series of defeats, which eventually reached four consecutive matches. In this stretch, the Suns lost at home to Denver (105:122) and Memphis (112:119), and away failed to cope with Houston (111:119) and San Antonio (109:120).

This season, the teams have not met yet, and in the previous two championships they exchanged home victories.

Expert Betting Tips

Phoenix's recent matches are all up-tempo, and based on this trend, we will bet on a higher total in the upcoming game. In addition, we believe that the Suns are underestimated here. First, the team from Arizona has much more tournament ambitions than Toronto. Secondly, despite the recent poor results, the level of the roster still allows Phoenix to count on a successful completion of the regular season and at least tenth place in the final table of the Western Conference.
