Raptors vs. Warriors prediction and odds for Friday, January 27

Was the Warriors 122-120 win over Memphis a sign that they’ve shaken off their mediocre start to season? Maybe, but probably not. They’re 2-2 in their last four games, all against quality competition.

They can turn it on from time to time, but it doesn’t seem like they’re ready, or frankly interested in going on a big run and skyrocketing to the top of the western conference. They enter tonight in eighth place in the western conference.

Toronto, 22-27 and in 12th in the east, is in town tonight coming off a nice 113-95 win in Sacramento on Wednesday. Pascal Siakam carried his team to that win with 26 points, 11 rebounds, and seven assists.

Here are the odds for the Warriors and Raptors at Golden State tonight:

Raptors vs. Warriors prediction and pick

When handicapping this Warriors team, it’s not really about the numbers, because we know that when they want to play hard, they’re one of the best teams in the league, it’s about learning when they’ll play hard.

I think this is a letdown spot for the dubs. They had some much intensity in that game on Wednesday that Steph Curry got ejected for just the third time in his career. The Warriors have struggled to win games on the road this year, but lately, they’re struggling to cover at home. They’re 0-5 against the spread in their last five home games. That trend is enough for me to take Toronto to cover tonight.
