Raptors vs. Warriors NBA Prediction:
The Raptors are a team in flux right now. They are currently in the middle of a West Coast road trip, and they just traded their best wing defender, OG Anunoby, to the Knicks for RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley. There are rumors that Toronto forward Pascal Siakam may be available in trade talks as well. There’s a lot going on for the Raptors, which can ultimately lead to distractions.
The Warriors may have lost Chris Paul due to a broken hand, but they’ll be getting Draymond Green back on the floor soon. The NBA recently re-instated Green from a league-imposed suspension due to his role in an on-court incident last month. Green would theoretically be eligible to play against the Raptors on Sunday, but ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported that he’ll need at least a week to get ready for game action. Nonetheless, Golden State secured a pair of much-needed wins over Eastern Conference foes on Tuesday and Friday of last week. I predict they earn another such victory at home on Sunday.
