Phoenix Suns vs Toronto Raptors: Prediction and betting tips | November 29, 2023

The Phoenix Suns will face the Toronto Raptors for the first time this season on Wednesday. Phoenix had a well-deserved two-day rest before trying to extend their seven-game winning streak. Despite missing Kevin Durant over their last two games, the Suns won both of them on the road. “KD” remains questionable today, but Devin Booker’s been playing out of his mind lately.

The Raptors, meanwhile, are still on a roller-coaster ride. After two straight wins, they dropped back-to-back games recently. They will be hoping to stop their slump against the red-hot Suns. Toronto’s quest to win on Wednesday will be difficult considering they will be playing for the second consecutive night.

Toronto’s defense will be focused on Devin Booker. He has carried the Suns in Durant and Bradley Beal’s absence over their last two games. “Book” had a season-high 40 points against the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday before nailing the game-winning three-pointer versus the New York Knicks on Sunday.

Phoenix Suns vs Toronto Raptors: Game preview

The Phoenix Suns continue to deal with injuries from their Big Three of Kevin Durant, Bradley Beal and Devin Booker.

For the most part, KD has been the healthiest among the three until the last two games where he has been sidelined due to a sore foot. Phoenix’s role players, however, have done just enough to support their main players and keep their streak going.

The Toronto Raptors are pairing a poor offense with a middle-of-the-pack defense, which has yielded inconsistent results. While their defense has often kept them in games, their offense has mostly faltered to carry them through. They could see their losing slump extend to three games if they can’t be more efficient with their shots.
