Toronto at Portland

Both Toronto and Portland are playing well. The 27-19 Raptors have their offense rolling with a 145-127 Tuesday victory against the Warriors and a 122-109 triumph against the Kings on Wednesday. Toronto was idle on Thursday, while the 23-22 Trail Blazers played and defeated the Heat, 127-110, at home. Emerging star and Portland's best player, Deni Avdija, left that game with a back injury. Avdija was playing in just his second game since missing three contests with lower-back issues. He is questionable for today. There is a chance the Raptors get back R.J. Barrett today. He is questionable. Toronto is not only getting big scoring games from its best players, Scottie Barnes and Brandon Ingram, but also others, too. Immanuel Quickley scored a career-best 40 points against the Warriors, and unsung Sandro Mamukelashvili had 22 points against the Kings. Take the Raptors.
