The Toronto Raptors have moved within one game of first place in the Eastern Conference standings. On Tuesday, they’ll try to inch closer to the Boston Celtics and that top spot when they host the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Oddsmakers have the Raptors as 6.5-point favorites while the total is at 218.5.
The Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics stumbling into the All-Star Break. The Raptors are making their move. They have won four of their last six games entering Tuesday’s affair. One of those recent losses was in Minnesota. They lost 115-109 on January 20, so the Raptors will be looking for some revenge.
The T-Wolves played in Atlanta on Monday. It was a 105-100 loss. They’ve been much stronger at home (20-6) than on the road (12-15) this season. They have dropped six of their last seven away games. They are scoring an average of 104.8 points per game in that span. That’s a significant drop-off from the 110.8 points per game they average at home.
Home-court advantage has been important in this series. The home team has won each of the last three meetings. However, the Raptors are just 4-3 in their last seven home games overall.
