Command Analysis
Toronto Raptors
CanadaCurrent form
The Raptors are going through a difficult season and no longer claim high positions in the Eastern Conference. The team is in a protracted crisis and occupies one of the last places, alternating rare victories with frequent defeats.
In the last meeting, Toronto lost to New York (115:121). Scott Barnes tried to create dangerous chances, but his 23 points didn't help. Defense remains the team's main concern. At the same time, the attack is also unstable – the team depends on the individual actions of specific players, but this is not enough for regular victories.
The match against Memphis will be another serious test. The hosts understand that the confrontation with one of the leaders of the Western Conference will not be easy, but they will try to take advantage of the home parquet factor.
Disqualifications and injuries
The team approaches the meeting with an optimal composition.
Interesting facts for betting
Since the beginning of the season, Toronto has won 12 home games.
Approximate composition: Barnes-Walter, Peltle-Quickley, Dick.
Memphis Grizzlies
USACurrent form
The Grizzlies continue to delight their fans with stable play and occupy the second place in the Western Conference. The team has gained excellent form and won three matches in a row, strengthening its position in the top.
Recent victories over Houston (120:119), Bucks (132:119) and Spurs (128:109) have shown that Taylor Jenkins' players are able to achieve results even in difficult meetings. The leader of the team remains Jaren Jackson, who consistently scores 20+ points and demonstrates an excellent game.
One of the key factors of Memphis' success is a well-coordinated team game. The team does not depend on one player – several basketball players can take the initiative at the right moment. Memphis will be the favorite in the upcoming match, but it is important to remember that this is an away game, and Toronto often creates problems for stronger opponents on its floor.
Disqualifications and injuries
Cam Spencer will not play in the next match due to injury.
Interesting facts for betting
In the last five games, the Grizzlies have lost only once.
Approximate line-up: Jackson Wells, Eadie Morant, Kennard.

1.73Tip and bets
Memphis is in great shape and is approaching this meeting as a clear favorite. Three wins in a row, confident attacking play and reliable defense make the team one of the best in the West. Toronto continues to have problems both offensively and defensively. The team alternates defeats with rare victories, and there is clearly not enough stability in its game. The Raptors' key players are trying their best, but it's not enough to fight strong opponents. We expect the Grizzlies to take advantage of their opponent's weaknesses and score another victory, extending their successful streak.
Our forecast is for Memphis to win, taking into account the handicap (-7.5) points in 1.72
Bet on the total
Toronto will try to hold off the Memphis attack, realizing the difference in class. The hosts often rely on defensive basketball in matches against strong opponents, trying to slow down the pace of the game.
In turn, the Grizzlies can play a little more cautiously after three difficult matches, avoiding unnecessary risks. This can lead to a less productive match than usual. We assume that the overall total in this match will not be broken.
Forecast - total less than 242.5 points for 1.82
Betting on statistics
Despite their good form, the Grizzlies will have to play on the road, where it is not always possible to demonstrate maximum performance. Toronto FC will try to impose a fight and rely on defense to prevent the opponent from scoring too many points. We believe that Memphis will achieve victory, but at the same time will not be able to show a super-productive game.
Prediction – Memphis' individual total is less than 125.5 points per 1.90
