Raptors Game Tonight: Raptors vs Nets Odds, Starting Lineup, Injury Report, Predictions, TV Channel for Mar. 1
By Mike Luciano
Because the Toronto Raptors are committed to remaining as inconsistent as possible, they followed up a 32-point defeat to the Hornets and a 27-point loss to the Hawks with a 36-point win on the road against the rival Brooklyn Nets. The latest Raptors odds have them positioned for yet another victory.
Toronto may have been facing a Nets team that lacked their four best players and head coach Steve Nash, but they still put forth an exhilarating effort capped off by Scottie Barnes playing his unquestioned best game as a pro. Still, Toronto should not rest on its laurels.
The race for the play-in (and the race to escape the play-in) is as tight as it has ever been, meaning that one hot streak or ill-fated slump could be the difference between prime playoff position or a failure to achieve their goal of the No. 6 seed.
Will the Raptors make it two in a row against their division rivals despite all of their injury issues? Will the Nets bounce back from Monday night’s horror show and snag a win in Toronto?
Brooklyn Nets vs Toronto Raptors Odds, Spread, Over/Under
The latest odds from WynnBET have Toronto as -8.0 favorites against the spread, with this squad -110 (bet $110 to win $100) to cover. Toronto is -400 on the moneyline, while Brooklyn checks at +310 (bet $100 to win $145).
The over-under in this contest is 220, with the under coming in at -110 and the over listed at -110. If Toronto is anywhere near as effective as they were in Brooklyn, that over should cash easily.

Toronto Raptors vs Brooklyn Nets Prediction
Barring the unforeseen, the Nets are not going to lose by 36 points again. With enough perimeter scoring to give Toronto some headaches even without all of their big names, the Raptors would be unwise to overlook them.
Even with Brooklyn’s offensive potential, last night showed that this team has some major cracks in their armor that likely won’t be repaired in the 24 hours between games. If Barnes remains aggressive and Precious Achiuwa keeps playing well, Toronto might take home two more wins.
