live stream, TV channel and tip-off time
Philadelphia 76ers vs. Toronto Raptors
Present Records: Toronto 11-15, Denver 18-10
After a successful three-game homestand, the Nuggets will soon need to put their road uniforms away. On Wednesday at Scotiabank Arena, they will play the Toronto Raptors at 7:30 p.m. ET. Both sides enter the game buoyed by victories in their prior games.
Win every quarter and you can’t lose the game, and that was the Nuggets’ exact game plan on Monday night against the Mavericks. Denver easily defeated Dallas 130–104. When your team works together to get ten more assists than the opposition, like the Nuggets did, it becomes a little bit easier to win.
With his 21 points, five assists, and five rebounds, Aaron Gordon named the game’s offensive MVP. In the meantime, Toronto’s stars shone brilliantly as they defeated Charlotte 114-99 on Monday. After losing their previous game 125-104, the Raptors needed this victory badly.
Multiple outstanding offensive performances led to the Raptors’ victory. Pascal Siakam, who finished with 27 points, eight rebounds, and eight assists, was among the most noteworthy. With 22 points and 17 rebounds, Scottie Barnes recorded a double-double, making him another important player.
Denver’s record this season has improved to 18-10 thanks to their recent success, which includes winning four of their past five games. Toronto’s record improved to 11-15 after their win.
In this competition, having a lot of possessions is probably going to be important: Despite only averaging 11.5 turnovers per game this season they rank second overall in turnovers per game—the Nuggets haven’t given up the ball lightly. The Raptors have been averaging just 13.6 turnovers per game, so it’s not like they have trouble there. It will be interesting to watch how their confrontation turns out given these opposing strengths.
In their previous meeting back in March, the Nuggets fell well short of the Raptors, falling 125-110. Fred Van-Vleet, who shot 8 for 12 from outside the arc on way to 36 points and 7 assists, will thankfully not be wearing the Nuggets uniform this time. Will that be sufficient to alter the outcome in the end? There’s just one way to learn the truth.
Chances: As of this now, Denver is a 4.5-point favorite over Toronto in NBA odds. The game started with the Nuggets as a 5-point favorite, indicating that the oddsmakers had a decent sense of the line for this one.
There is a 229 point over/under.
