Raptors Game Tonight: Raptors vs Warriors Odds, Starting Lineup, Injury Report, Predictions, TV Channel for Dec. 18
By Mike Luciano
The Toronto Raptors lost a heartbreaker against the Nets despite the fact that COVID-19 protocols left Brooklyn with only a handful of healthy players in that game. At least the latest Raptors odds have Toronto picking up a victory against one of the very best teams in the league.
Toronto will welcome the Golden State Warriors to Canada, but they will take on a team that is missing most of their star players. Steph Curry, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson, and Jordan Poole will all sit this game out for various reasons.
The Raptors went from facing very long odds of a victory to being favored by an overwhelming margin. While Golden State is not sending a full team up to Toronto, Nick Nurse may be able to get some of his heavy hutters back for this contest.
Will the Raptors be able to pick up a win against one of the best teams in the league due to their absences? Or will the Warriors beat them in the same way Brooklyn did?
Golden State Warriors vs Toronto Raptors Odds, Spread, Over/Under
The latest odds from WynnBET have Toronto as -9 favorites against the spread, with this squad -110 (bet $110 to win $100) to cover. Toronto is -440 on the moneyline, while Golden State checks at +350 (bet $100 to win $350).
The over-under in this contest is 208, with the under coming in at -110 and the over also listed at -110. This total is assuredly lower than what it would have been if the Warriors had all of their stars.

Raptors Injury Report
OG Anunoby is officially questionable, but Khem Birch will likely return Monday. The Warriors are resting most of their stars, including Curry and Andrew Wiggins.
Toronto Raptors vs Golden State Warriors Prediction
While the squad did go 2-2 in their last four games, they were a Justin Champagnie buzzer-beater and a Patty Mills 3-pointer away from winning those games. Toronto has gotten solid performances from Gary Trent Jr. and Scottie Barnes of late, so expect those to continue.
Toronto is fresh off losses to a substandard Thunder team and a Nets squad with just eight players, so they can’t chalk up any game as a victory just yet. However, the chances of beating this collection of talent are much greater than if they had all of their stars.
Raptors 111, Warriors 104
