Raptors betting trends: Toronto slumping on the glass

The Toronto Raptors are halfway through their 2022-23 season.

The Toronto Raptors are in a slump and are 12th in the Eastern Conference. They play the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday.

The Raptors are struggling on the boards lately. They are currently 21st in the NBA in rebounding percentage (49.4%). They produced the 11th-best rebound rate in NBA 2021-22. They were known as a strong rebounded team despite the fact they rarely deployed a traditional big. It's worth considering rebarding overs on players facing the Raptors until they start performing better on their boards.

Pascal Siakam got off to an outstanding start to the season. Recently, his production has changed a little bit as scoring has become the focus.

Fred VanVleet and Scottie Barnes have taken over more of the playmaking load lately. This has left room for Cameroonian star Siakam to fill the bucket.

OG Anunoby's shooting percentage from the 3-point line has improved since December 11. He's now shooting 38.5% on 3s since then. He averaged 2.4 threes on 6.7 attempts in his two seasons prior to 2022-23. His offensive role has varied throughout the season.

The Raptors have disappointed this season. The current roster is not very good. They are expected to be sellers at the trade deadline. The team has 19 home games left and 23 road games. FiveThirtyEight projects Toronto to win 38 games, but that projection is based on the current rosters.
