Prediction
The Phoenix Suns will defeat the Toronto Raptors in this game. The dynamic duo of Kevin Durant and Devin Booker will prove too much. Even if Poeltl returns, the bigs of Nic Richards and Mason Plumlee will help keep him off the glass. The Suns love to do most of their damage from the mid-range, where Booker and Durant thrive. If the Suns can contain Barrett and Quickley’s damage in transition, that will lean in the Suns’ favor. Toronto could struggle if they must operate most of their offense in the halfcourt. Overall, the Phoenix Suns should dominate this matchup and cruise to a win in Toronto.
Final Pick
Phoenix Suns ML (-105)
