1.88Tip and bets
Bookmakers do not believe in Toronto success at all. BC experts consider Atlanta to be the clear favorite of the upcoming match. In general, everything is so. The Hawks should have beaten the Raptors in the previous game, but something went wrong. The team from Georgia is clearly experiencing revenge sentiments after an offensive defeat. Snyder charges will have to achieve victory with the noisy support of their fans.
Our prediction is Atlanta victory with a handicap of (-3.5) points, including overtime, at 1.81
Bet on total
Head-to-head matches between Atlanta and Toronto are usually quite productive. In the last ten games, the average score was 236 points. There are no prerequisites for the teams to pay more attention to defense this time. The match should be productive again.
Our prediction is total over 237.5 points including overtime at 2.09
Bet on the player
Young played 54 games in the 2023/24 regular season and averaged 25.7 points per game. His rate is slightly lower this season — 22.9. The 26-year-old point guard has proven with his game that he is capable of maintaining a decent scoring level. The basketball player from the USA will have to demonstrate his sniper skills this time too.
Our prediction is Young total points over 23.5 including overtime at 1.87
