Toronto Raptors vs Phoenix Suns Prediction – 3/17/2025

On March 17, 2025, the Toronto Raptors (24-44) will face off against the Phoenix Suns (31-37) in a Monday Night showdown at Footprint Center, set to tip off at 10:00 PM ET. Both teams enter this contest on the second leg of back-to-back games, which could weigh heavily on their performance.

The Raptors are coming off a narrow loss to the Portland Trail Blazers, falling 105-102. Their recent road woes have been significant, as they have dropped 22 of their last 30 away games. Additionally, the Raptors will have to contend with the fatigue of traveling cross-country and across two time zones, which adds another layer of challenge to their already tough matchup.

Meanwhile, the Suns are looking to bounce back from a disappointing 107-96 defeat against the Los Angeles Lakers. Despite being favored at home, the Suns have struggled lately, losing 14 of their last 20 games. This inconsistency could give the Raptors a glimmer of hope, but the odds still heavily favor Phoenix, with the spread currently set at Suns -8.5 and a moneyline of -345, implying a 75% chance of victory. The Raptors, with a moneyline of +285, hold an implied win probability of just 25%.

For bettors, one intriguing player prop is Kevin Durant's Points, Rebounds, and Assists total, which has gained traction in the betting market. Opening at Over 34.5, it has since moved to Over 36.5, indicating sharp bettors are confident in Durant's ability to contribute significantly in this matchup. As both teams look to turn their fortunes around, this game is shaping up to be an intriguing battle.
