The Toronto Raptors will host the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday night at the Scotiabank Arena with tipoff set for 7:30 PM ET. The Raptors will try for their fourth straight victory and a winning homestand Saturday night when they face the Hawks. Atlanta is coming off a win versus the Pacers on Friday night at Indianapolis on a tip-in by John Collins in the final second of the game. The Hawks’ victory on Friday was just their fourth in the past 11 games. The Raptors are 3-2 on their season-high, six-game homestand after defeating the Charlotte Hornets 124-114 Thursday to sweep a two-game set. Toronto has won three straight for the first time this season. For the Hawks, Clint Capela remains out while Bogdan Bogdanovic is questionable. The Raptors enter this game as healthy as they have been all season.

Raptors vs Hawks Best Bets
Raptors -7 (-110 DraftKings)
A major reason I’m backing the Raptors is their defensive ability to control Trae Young. The last time these teams played the Raptors held Young 14 points on only 23% shooting by matching up both Scottie Barnes and O.G. Anunoby on him. The Raptors are playing as well as they have been all season and are catching the Hawks on the second game of a back-to-back. The Hawks are also 1-5 ATS in the last six meetings in Toronto

Raptors vs Hawks Game Over 232 Points (-110 DraftKings)
Each of the two previous matchups this season between these teams have gone over this number. The Raptors love to push the tempo and create fast break opportunities. The Hawks also give up the seventh most second-chance points in the league. With Toronto having their full complement of players, their offense should flourish.
