The slumping Toronto Raptors play the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday night, and if you’re looking to do some last-minute betting research, you’re in luck! We’ll give you the latest point spread, moneyline odds and over-under number, as well as the information you’ll need to make the smartest bet on BetMGM.
The game tips off at 9 p.m. ET and can be seen on Sportsnet (TOR) / Fox Sports Arizona (PHX).
Without Serge Ibaka and Marc Gasol on the roster, the new-look Raptors are 1-5 on the year and “have no swagger,” according to veteran guard Kyle Lowry. The Suns are looking to rebound from a loss to the Clippers on Sunday, but are 5-2 to start the season and sit second in the Western Conference.
Both teams enter Wednesday’s game relatively healthy. Patrick McCaw is out for the Raptors, and Abdel Nader and Jalen Smith are out for the Suns.

- Over-under: 218.5

Advice and prediction
Oddsmakers continue to sleep on the Suns, who are 3-1 against the spread as a favorite this season, while the Raptors are 1-5 against the spread. I don’t see the Raptors, coming off back-to-back losses, faring well against a stout Suns defense. This line should be bigger. Take Suns -2.5 while you can.
For the total, take under 218.5. With Phoenix playing brilliant defense (first in opponent points per game, third in defensive rating), the Suns have gone over 218.5 once all season, while the Raptors’ offense has proven to be inept so far (106 ppg.).
Prediction: Suns 111, Raptors 97
