Raptors Game Tonight: Raptors vs Thunder Odds, Starting Lineup, Injury Report, Predictions, TV Channel for Feb. 9
By Mike Luciano
The Toronto Raptors are winners of six straight, most of which came against some elite contenders in the East like the Bulls and Heat. After dispatching Charlotte on the road a few days ago, the latest Raptors odds have them positioned to extend their winning streak to seven in a row.
Toronto will have off against the Oklahoma City Thunder on the road. With Shai Gilgeous-Alexander currently nursing an injured ankle and Josh Giddey about to be put on a minutes restriction, Mark Daigneault and OKC might not field their most competitive roster in this game.
However, OKC has already taken this team down in Toronto earlier in the year thanks to a third quarter in which they couldn’t miss a shot if they tried. Nick Nurse knows better than to underestimate a young, hungry team trying to pull off an insane upset.
Will Toronto pick up their seventh straight win at the expense of Giddey and the Thunder? Will Oklahoma City make enough clutch shots to hand Toronto a loss in what has become a very tight playoff race in the Eastern Conference?
Oklahoma City Thunder vs Toronto Raptors Odds, Spread, Over/Under
The latest odds from WynnBET have Toronto as -9.5 favorites against the spread, with this squad -110 (bet $110 to win $100) to cover. Toronto is -450 on the moneyline, while Oklahoma City checks at +350 (bet $100 to win $350).
The over-under in this contest is 208.0, with the under coming in at -110 and the over listed at -110. Both of these teams lack terrific benches, which could be one of the reasons Vegas thinks this will be low-scoring.

Toronto Raptors vs Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction
The Raptors have a very weak second unit, but their starting lineup has been so effective over the last few weeks that it’s helped them rise from a play-in contender to the No. 6 seed in the Eastern Conference. They could take advantage of a suspect Oklahoma City defense.
The Thunder will give the Raptors a solid effort, and they could’ve taken things down to the wire if they had Gilgeous-Alexander. Look for Toronto to take home a win despite their propensity for letting big leads slip away from them.
Raptors 115, Thunder 103
