The Toronto Raptors defied all the expectations when Gary Trent Jr. put up 41 points in an upset win against the Suns in Phoenix. Despite the fact that Nick Nurse has now won two straight games on their long road trip, the latest Toronto Raptors odds have them positioned to lose once again.
MVP Candidate Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets will welcome Toronto to the Mile-High City. Denver already took down Toronto on the road earlier in the year, as a Jokic masterclass helped the Nuggets overcome a lack of depth that has plagued them all season long.
Even if the Raptors had some solid interior defenders, taking on Jokic would be a headache regardless. With Denver also possessing enough shooters to give Toronto fits, Nurse might need another sensational show from either Trent or Fred VanVleet to stay in this game.
Will the squad beat two playoff teams from the West in as many days by taking down the Nuggets? Will Jokic and Denver put a stop to Toronto’s winning ways thanks to the Serbian’s dominance?

Toronto Raptors vs Denver Nuggets Prediction
Toronto is just a few hours removed from a very emotional, high-energy win against the best team in the league. The odds of them replicating that performance against an MVP frontrunner without two of their rotation players might not be as high as everyone thinks.
The Nuggets should get enough points from Jokic to put them in their place. The only way that Toronto will be able to win their third straight game is Trent getting unbelievably hot from 3-point range once again or Scottie Barnes taking over.
