We get another nine-game slate on Saturday, with the in-form Raptors heading to Orlando to cement their position in the top four in the East, while the Detroit Pistons look to bounce back from a poor loss to the Suns as they travel to Golden State.
Toronto Raptors @ Orlando Magic
The Magic are now at desperation levels as they try to salvage their season at the halfway point. It was a good win over divisional rivals Miami, but there’s still plenty of work to do with Atlanta and Charlotte both pushing to make a run.
As for the Raptors, they remain inside the top four in the East, winning four of their last five games, including an upset victory in OKC.
Can they record another road win here?
LEG 1 – Anthony Black 15+ Points
With Franz Wagner sidelined again and Jalen Suggs on restricted minutes, we should continue to see increased usage for Anthony Black.
Across Black’s last 18 games without Wagner, he’s averaging 19.4 points per game and has cleared 15+ points in 14 of those outings.
He also dropped 27 points against the Raptors when these sides met earlier in the season.
LEG 2 – Scottie Barnes 15+ Points
Scottie Barnes is averaging 20.3 points per game across his last 14 appearances, making the 15+ line a strong SGM anchor.
Barnes has cleared this mark in 13 of his last 14 games, failing only against the league’s best defensive unit, the Thunder, two starts ago.
LEG 3 – Immanuel Quickley 4+ Rebounds
Quickley averages 4.4 rebounds per game this season, but it’s his recent form on the glass that makes this line appealing.
The point guard is averaging 5.6 rebounds across his last eight games, clearing 4+ boards in six of those, including the last four straight.
He grabbed 11 rebounds against the Thunder two starts back and eight against Portland, showing strong instincts around the rim lately.
Same Game Multi
Black 15+ Points / Barnes 15+ Points / Quickley 4+ Rebounds = $3.30
VALUE BET
Collin Murray-Boyles 8+ Rebounds @ $2.50
The rookie has slotted into the Raptors’ starting lineup as an undersized centre and has produced some impressive rebounding performances.
While his minutes have fluctuated between 22 and 28 per game, he’s shown the ability to rack up boards quickly.
Murray-Boyles is averaging nine rebounds across his last 12 games where he’s played at least 24.7 minutes. This includes a 12-rebound effort against Orlando last time out, where he played just 25 minutes. The 10+ rebounds line at $4.70 is also worth a small look.
