Toronto Raptors vs Atlanta Hawks Moneyline Prediction

The Raptors and Hawks already met on Saturday, and Toronto had little trouble securing a comfortable 17-point victory by winning 134-117. The Canadian side shot 53.3 percent from the floor, compared to Atlanta’s 46.3 percent, and also held a clear edge in areas such as rebounds and blocks. 

It was a complete performance from a Raptors team that have now won three of their last four outings.

Toronto will continue their homestand in this contest, and some of their best work has been done in front of their fans at Scotiabank Arena. They’ve won three of their last four encounters at home, a run that helped them snap a five-game losing streak between December 4 and December 20. 

As for the Hawks, they’ve been struggling badly on the road, with four losses in their last five outings.

Atlanta will also be without one of their best players in Trae Young, and while the team have managed good results without their star floor general on the court, this is far from ideal for them. 

The Raptors have the edge in size, rest, and recent form, and also own a decisive home-court advantage. Thus, you can expect them to walk away with another victory over the Hawks – for the second time in the last three days.

Toronto Raptors vs Atlanta Hawks Player Prop

Even though Brandon Ingram is firmly entrenched as the Raptors’ go-to scoring option, the contributions of Scottie Barnes can’t go unnoticed. 

The star forward filled the stat sheet in the win over the Hawks with 20 points, seven rebounds, four assists, three steals, and two blocks across 32 minutes. It’s not uncommon to see Barnes put up such numbers.

The star forward has surpassed the line of over 29.5 points + rebounds in two of his last four appearances. Even though he’ll have a tough matchup on the defensive end against Jalen Johnson, Barnes should find a way to leave his mark in both categories. 

Barnes has been averaging 18.1 points and 9.5 rebounds per game since the beginning of December, so there’s enough body of work to see value in this line.

Toronto Raptors vs Atlanta Hawks Same Game Parlay

Our three-leg parlay suggests that the Raptors will not only win, but will also cover the 3.5-point spread. They already did that in their previous victory over the Hawks, as well as in two of their last three home wins. 

Furthermore, Atlanta have also lost by more than four points in their previous four defeats.

We’re mixing that up with the over on points, as the 236.5-point line was hit in the previous meeting and in three of Toronto’s last five contests, along with Barnes scoring at least 20 points. 

The star forward has reached the 20-point mark in four of his last six outings and posted 20 points on Saturday against Atlanta.

Toronto Raptors vs Atlanta Hawks Team News

Toronto Raptors Team News

The Raptors will be close to full strength for this contest. The lone confirmed absence is big man Jakob Poeltl, who has already been ruled out with a nagging back problem that has kept him sidelined since December 21. 

Other than that, the Raptors will have all their regular rotation players available. Look for Sandro Mamukelashvili, as well as a combination of Mo Bamba and Jonathan Mogbo, to fill the gap at centre. Brandon Ingram, Scottie Barnes, and RJ Barrett should carry the team from an offensive perspective.

Atlanta Hawks Team News

The Hawks will be without one of their best players in Trae Young, as the star floor general is sidelined with a quadriceps injury. However, the issue isn’t believed to be serious, and Young should return to the rotation in the near future.

Luke Kennard has been tagged as questionable due to a back injury, and a decision on his status will be made closer to Monday’s 7:30 PM ET tip-off. The absence of Young and Kennard would hurt the Hawks’ outside shooting, as Kennard is shooting 43.4 percent from three despite logging just 20.3 minutes per game.
