LiontipsToronto - Utah: NBA match betting tip and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
The Toronto Raptors are finally showing signs of life this season! Darko Rajakovic's team was able to snatch victories in the last two meetings, and the game against Orlando turned out to be especially dramatic (114:113). In this match, the Raptors showed character, and the main striking force was R.J. Barrett, who scored 21 points. Another powerful contribution was made by Scotty Barnes — his double-double (17 points, 13 rebounds, 5 assists) helped the team put the squeeze on Magic. Jacobe Walter and Jacob Peltl also had a good match, both scoring 17 points apiece. And Immanuel Quickley scored 15 points.
However, even with these wins, Toronto is still only 13th in the East (20-42). But who knows? If you manage to continue the winning streak, you can take a swing at the play-in zone!
Disqualifications and injuries
Things are not so rosy for the Raptors. The club will have to do without Grady Dick, R.J. Barrett and Jacob Peltl. Their absence is a serious problem, but the team has already shown that they can adapt.
Interesting facts for betting
- In the last ten games between Toronto and Utah, the teams have averaged 215 points.
- The Raptors have lost to the Jazz in their last five face-to-face meetings in a row.
Approximate composition
Immanuel Quickley — Jamal Sheed— Jacobe Walter — Orlando Robinson — Scotty Barnes.
Current form
Utah Jazz continues to sink. Will Hardy's team has already suffered three defeats in a row, and in the last game lost to Washington — 122-1125. At the same time, Johnny Juzeng performed superbly, scoring 27 points. Kyle Filipowski had a double-double (23 points, 13 rebounds), and Isaiah Collier scored 19 points. However, all this did not save the team from another disappointment.
Utah (15-47) is currently at the bottom of the Western Conference. There are practically no chances for the playoffs anymore, and all that remains is to try to play for your own pleasure and spoil the life of your rivals.
Disqualifications and injuries
Lauri Markkanen, one of the key players of the team, will definitely not help Jazz in this match. John Collins and a number of substitutes are also in the infirmary.
Interesting facts for betting

1.87Tip and bets
Apparently, the bookmakers have a clear preference for Toronto for a reason. The Raptors are unstable, but they have shown in recent matches that they are capable of playing well. In addition, Utah is frankly failing the season and is now just living out the regular season. Even without Barrett and Peltl, the owners of the floor must win, especially with the support of their fans.
Our prediction is that Toronto will win by a handicap of (-4.5) points, taking into account overtime in 1.73
Betting on an individual total
The Raptors are averaging 106 points per game. In the games against Utah, this figure is slightly higher — 108. It is hardly worth waiting for a productive fireworks display from the Canadian team.
Our prediction is that Toronto's individual total is less than 115.5 points in 2.08
The bet on the player
R. J. Barrett averaged 20.2 points per game last season, and this year he has already increased the score to 21.7. The Canadian remains one of the leaders of the team and continues to delight with stable performances.
Our prediction is that Barrett's total score is over 22.5 for 1.87
