It’s been a tough couple of games for the Toronto Raptors. They couldn’t hold on to another double-digit lead against the Nuggets on Friday, which led to a predictable letdown against the Suns.

But they’ll need to refocus quickly as they play the second half of a back-to-back tonight against the Utah Jazz.

Toronto is a big favorite, but is the number too big? My Raptors vs. Jazz predictions and NBA picks break it all down for this matchup set to tip off at 9 p.m. ET at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, on Monday, March 23.

Raptors vs Jazz prediction

Raptors vs Jazz best bet: Jazz +12.5 (-110)

The Toronto Raptors generally get the job done against weaker teams. However, I’m not sold on them covering a number this large in this spot.

The second half of a back-to-back at elevation in Salt Lake City. And the Utah Jazz haven’t been as bad as you might think.

While they’re just 3-8 straight up in March, they’re 6-5 ATS and rank 21st in net rating. Toronto is just 17th in net rating over the same stretch and is 1-4 ATS this season when laying double-digit chalk.

The Raps should pull out the win, but this is too many points.

Raptors vs Jazz same-game parlay

Ace Bailey is showing why he was a high lottery pick in last June’s NBA Draft. He's averaging 18.1 points while shooting 37.5% from 3-point range over 13 games since the All-Star break. 

He’s hit three or more threes in four of his last games, and the Raptors perimeter defense has dropped off in March, ranking 28th in opponent 3-point shooting percentage.

For the Raptors, Immanuel Quickley has also been jacking up the treys. He’s hit three or more threes in seven of his last 14 games, and the Jazz allow the most made threes per game in the NBA.
