Raptors vs. Hawks Prediction and Odds for Saturday, November 19 (Value With Injured Toronto)

The Toronto Raptors come into this matchup with the Atlanta Hawks extremely undermanned. They will be without Pascal Siakam, Precious Achiuwa, Otto Porter Jr., Gary Trent Jr. and Chris Boucher. The oddsmakers have them as 5.5-point underdogs to the Atlanta Hawks, who are trying to rebound from a loss to the Boston Celtics.

With one team having to use everyone on the bench, and another trying to maximize its star power, let’s see where the value lies today.

Raptors vs. Hawks Prediction and Pick

After a hot start to the season, the Hawks have taken a slight step back. They are 2-3 SU in their last five games, have the 15th ranked defense and the 26th-ranked offense. Trae Young has had shooting woes all season, only making 30.8% of his threes. Dejounte Murray has kept them winning, but that model does not seem sustainable for the Hawks.

Meanwhile, the Raptors have won consecutive games, and have mirrored the setup opposite Atlanta. Toronto is 21st in defense and 16th in offense over the last five games. 

It’s very possible the Hawks win tonight, but I’m not taking them on the spread. Even with several players being out for the Raptors, I think Fred VanVleet, OG Anunoby and Scottie Barnes will be enough to keep Toronto close.
