[8:08 PM] Warriors @ Raptors

Who will WIN this matchup?

Golden State Warriors (8-2)

@ Toronto Raptors (7-3)

 

• The line for this game is Golden State by 6 points.

• The Golden State Warriors are starting to mesh with newcomer Kevin Durant and are averaging 122.5 points during their four-game winning streak. Golden State attempts to continue the high-octane performances on Wednesday, when it opens a four-game road trip against the Toronto Raptors.

• Power forward Draymond Green is averaging 10.9 points and was well aware his number of shots would diminish with Durant joining the club. But he isn’t thrilled with perceptions that his level of play has declined and insists any list of the NBA’s top performers should include his name.

• One night after losing to the defending NBA champs, Toronto plays the runner-up in an odd scheduling quirk. Shooting guard DeMar DeRozan leads the NBA in scoring (33.2) and has recorded 30 or more points in eight of Toronto’s 10 games.

• The Warriors have won the last four meetings.

• Golden State SG Klay Thompson scored a season-best 30 points in Sunday’s 133-120 victory over Phoenix.

• Toronto SF DeMarre Carroll (knee) was rested on the front end of the back-to-back set but will play Wednesday.
