Golden State Warriors vs. Toronto Raptors Prediction: Injury Report, Starting 5s, Betting Odds & Spreads: December 18| 2022-23 NBA Season
The Golden State Warriors (14-16) are 11th in the Western Conference and on a two-game losing streak. They are coming off a loss against the Philadelphia 76ers (118-108) in their last outing.
The injury to Stephen Curry is something the Warriors conceded at the worst possible time when the league is about to enter 'serious' mode. Jordan Poole came in to start in place of Steph and tried his best, but it wasn't enough. He scored 29 points, the most by a Warriors player. The rest of the team was not up to the mark as Joel Embiid and James Harden scored 34 and 27 respectively for the 76ers. The Warriors will now take on the Toronto Raptors (13-16), tenth in the East, and on a disappointing four-game losing streak.
In their last outing, they faced defeat against the Brooklyn Nets (119-116). Fred VanVleet and Scott Barnes scored 39 and 26 points. However, they fell short as Kevin Durant had a 28-point game, whereas Kyrie Irving dropped 352 points.

Warriors vs. Raptors: Betting Prediction
This is a matchup between two struggling teams at present. The Raptors have a 6-4 advantage over the Warriors in their last 10 meetings. However, this is their first encounter this season and the situation for both teams is tough.
Based on recent performances, it looks tough to call out a clear winner, but Toronto definitely has home advantage. Expect the game to be a close contest nevertheless. The majority of their games did not cross the over mark.
Final Prediction: Total Under 223.5 (-110)
