NBA Bettors Favorably Over/Under Betting on Toronto Raptors by BetMGM
Toronto Raptors Gaining Attention for High-Scoring Games in Upcoming NBA Season
The Toronto Raptors are generating a significant amount of buzz in the world of basketball betting, with a high volume of Over bets being placed on their games for the upcoming season. This trend is largely due to the team's recent performance, which shows that their games frequently go over the total points line.
In the last five games, the total has gone Over for the Raptors on four occasions. This trend suggests an expectation of continued high-scoring games, despite their low ranking in current NBA power rankings. Bettors who anticipate offensive games with more points scored are attracted to this pattern.
The Raptors' defensive performance leaves much to be desired, ranking 28th in steals allowed. However, this weakness could lead to even more scoring, especially when facing teams with strong offensive capabilities, such as the Atlanta Hawks, who rank second in offensive assists.
Despite the team's recent struggles, with a record of 2-5 SU and ATS in their last seven games, this does not necessarily mean that their games will be low-scoring. The Raptors' projected win total for the season is around 37.5 wins, suggesting they may not be dominant but could still engage in competitive and high-scoring matches attractive for Over betting.
Brandon Ingram, a 27-year-old NBA All-Star, is a key factor in the Raptors' enthusiasm. In July, Ingram confidently stated that the Raptors are making the playoffs "for sure." Despite missing last season due to an ankle injury, Ingram is now fully recovered and ready to contribute to the team's success.
In his career, Ingram has averaged 19.5 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 4.3 assists in 495 NBA games with the Lakers and Pelicans. His presence on the court is sure to boost the Raptors' offensive capabilities and contribute to the high-scoring games that bettors are anticipating.
Despite the optimism surrounding the Raptors, their current ranking of around 24 in NBA power rankings indicates that they still have some work to do to prove their worth in the Eastern Conference. However, with Ingram leading the charge and a high volume of Over bets being placed, it's clear that the Raptors are a team to watch this season.
