Parlay: Raptors +14.5 + Morant over 19.5 points + Edey over 8.5 rebounds<\/strong> (+265)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Raptors +15.5 (-182):<\/strong> Toronto (7-23) has the third-worst win percentage in basketball but has mastered the “competitive loss.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Raps are 19-10-1 ATS which includes an 8-6 ATS record as road underdogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are missing some players \u2014 Jakob Poeltl, Bruce Brown and Immanuel Quickley are out while Jamal Shead is questionable \u2014 but that’s been the case all season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Memphis is finding its footing and owns a solid 20-10 record but Toronto has covered this number in 27 of 30 games this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll happily bank a boatload of points with the Raptors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SGP legs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Morant over 19.5 points<\/strong> (-230):<\/strong> Morant averaged north of 25 points per game in each of the last three seasons and it’s only a matter of time before he gets back there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The point guard is playing a career-low 28.1 minutes per night and is averaging his fewest field goal attempts (16.2) since his sophomore campaign. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But that’s mainly due to Memphis handling him with kid gloves after an injury-riddled 2023-24. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ve seen flashes of the old Morant lately as he’s scored 20-plus in four of his last five.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The outlier was a nine-point outing against the Golden State Warriors where he only played 17 minutes in a blowout victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the Raptors keep this close as I predict, he should breeze by this line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edey over 8.5 rebounds (-127):<\/strong> Toronto ranks fifth in rebounding rate but Edey should feast with Poeltl sidelined. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Raptors average 45.8 rebounds per game with Poeltl and 39.3 in the four games he missed. Check out how opposing centers did in those contests:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Isaiah Hartenstein: 16 rebounds<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Day’Ron Sharpe: Nine rebounds<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Alperen Sengun: 10 rebounds<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Karl-Anthony Towns: 10 rebounds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    The 7-foot-4, 305-pound Torontonian is only averaging 7.5 rebounds per game but we’ve seen an increase month over month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Edey is averaging 9.5 boards per game in December and has cleared this total in four of his last five games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
