The Toronto Raptors have leaned on the services of the mercurial O.G. Anunoby and Fred VanVleet to carry this offense lately, as many of the big names are currently hurt. The latest Toronto Raptors odds think those injuries will lead to a loss against a contender.
The Atlanta Hawks were bludgeoned into submission by the Raptors during the team’s first meeting, as Trae Young turned the ball over 10 times and the Toronto offense couldn’t miss a shot if you put blindfolds on them. Things will be different this time around.
Nick Nurse’s team is coming to town at a distinct disadvantage, as this squad has several key injuries that will stretch an already thin bench to breaking point. The Hawks have also looked much better on both ends of the floor after a somewhat rocky start to the year.
Will the Raptors find a way to take home a victory in this game despite all of the names they will not have available due to injury and illness? Will Young and Dejounte Murray quickly overrun a beat-up backcourt and keep the hawks riding high this season?

Another lengthy injury report for tomorrow’s game in Atlanta.

Toronto Raptors vs. Atlanta Hawks Prediction
If the Raptors had all of their big names ready to go in this game, they would have had a much likelier shot at moving to 2-0 on the year against Young and the Hawks. It’s difficult to properly evaluate a team that is missing so many impactful players on the road.
While Toronto did beat Miami with most of their big names out, that victory came against a Heat team that also was suffering from some serious injury problems. Stopping all of Atlanta’s firepower without your big names on the floor will be quite tough.
Hawks 108, Raptors 101
