Raptors vs. Trail Blazers odds, spread, and total

Raptors vs. Trail Blazers prediction and pick

The Raptors play at one of the fastest paces in the NBA, ranking sixth in field goal attempts per game. The Trail Blazers have also upped their pace as of late, average 89 field goal attempts over their last three games, up from their season average of 84.6.

The Raptors are also one of the worst defensive teams in the NBA, ranking 29th in opponent effective field goal percentage. Portland has struggled defensively lately too, allowing teams to shoot 52.3% from the field against them over their last three games.

I think we’re in for an offensive shootout tonight.
