The winning streak continues- Raptors/Wolves GDT
Posted: Thu Mar 05, 2026 11:11 am
You guys didn't think I would skip teeing up the GDT after 4 wins in a row in that role, did you? Yep, the good news is our squad has won 4 in a row and 7 of this last 8. I would argue though that only the Denver win felt really good.
But we should be able to handle on our home court an East team that has lost 3 out of 4, right? Not so fast, because Toronto is a weird team. They're only a .500 team at home, but they are 19-10 on the road. Put another way, their record on the road is very similar to our record at home. Their three losses in the past four games have been to very good teams at home...meanwhile they have won 7 of their last 8 on the road, including a win at OkC. So this one is far from a layup for us tonight, and the oddsmakers have us favored by only 5 1/2. We trailed them by 18 at one point in our last game against them, and only some 4th quarter heroics by Ant gave us a 2-point win. We'll need a good effort tonight, I think.
Ingram is questionable with a non-shooting hand thumb sprain, so I'll guess he plays. Joe Ingles is the only player on the list for the Wolves, but we have SloMo to pass the ball in at clutch time if needed. Good to see Ant not on the injury list.
