Toronto Raptors Betting Preview
Last season, the Toronto Raptors missed the NBA Playoffs, falling in the play-in tournament thanks to their inability to make free throws while DeMar DeRozan’s daughter screamed at them. This year, things could get even more embarrassing than losing in the play-in tournament to an elementary school girl, as the Raptors made some changes in the offseason that could see them take a step backward in the Eastern Conference.

Toronto Raptors Picks, Predictions & Betting News
Offseason Transactions
Key Additions: Dennis Schroder, Jalen McDaniels, Gradey Dick, Markquis Nowell
Key Departures: Fred VanVleet
The Toronto Raptors swapped Fred VanVleet out for Dennis Schroder, which will be an interesting change for them. VanVleet is a better three-point shooter, while Schroder is better at getting into the paint and causing problems for defenses that way. On a team without too many quality shooters, that’s an interesting move, though the Raptors hope Gary Trent Jr. and Gradey Dick will pick up the shooting slack under new head coach Darko Rajaković.
Positives & Negatives
On the positive side for the Raptors, they are such a tough team to prepare for, as they have so many players who are versatile and can make things difficult on opponents. They also have a borderline all-NBA player in Pascal Siakam, who is likely to step up and help this team avoid complete embarrassment despite trending downward last year.
But the reality for this roster is that they just are not good enough to challenge the top teams in the Eastern Conference. There is not enough jump shooting on this team for them to be above average, while there are still trade rumors surrounding OG Anunoby that are unlikely to go away as the trade deadline draws near.
2023-24 Toronto Raptors Win Total Prediction: Under 36.5 Wins
The under is the right play for the Toronto Raptors in the season win total market this year. This team’s ceiling is to be the fourth-best team in the Atlantic Division, as they should finish well behind the Celtics, Sixers, and Knicks. And there is still the potential for this team to make some trades and blow things up if they get off to a slow start to the season, making their under an even more appealing option.
