Golden State Warriors vs Toronto Raptors preview

While this matchup lacks the same luster it had in 2019, it remains intriguing. The Raptors, mired in a five-game losing streak — the second-longest in the league — will host a Warriors team desperate for momentum after dropping six of their last 10 games.

The Warriors’ season has been a rollercoaster, much like sharpshooter Buddy Hield’s performance. Hield’s 3-point shooting has plummeted from 50.0% in October and 41.4% in November to a mere 32.7% so far in January.

Steph Curry continues to anchor the Warriors’ offense with 22.6 points per game, but they are missing their second-leading scorer, Jonathan Kuminga (16.8 ppg), due to injury. Despite acquiring Dennis Schroder to bolster the roster, his impact has been underwhelming, prompting speculation about another trade.

The Raptors are caught in a “Capture the Flagg” spiral, with four of their five recent losses coming by double digits. Part of their struggles stemmed from a grueling three-game road trip against the Knicks, Cavaliers and Pistons.

Back at home, they aim to secure only their second win since Dec. 4 — a stretch that included an 11-game losing streak and a lone victory over the Nets on New Year’s Day.

Golden State Warriors vs Toronto Raptors prediction

Though the Warriors lack their former championship identity, Steph Curry remains a game-changer. He may not replicate his prime performances nightly, but expect him to rise to the occasion. Look for Curry to drop at least 30 points and lead Golden State to a decisive double-digit victory.
