The Raptors lost some firepower at the trade deadline by dealing Norman Powell, but the decision to keep veteran leader Kyle Lowry suggests the team isn't headed toward a full rebuild. That should provide a morale boost to a team with somewhat mystifying struggles that is still eight games below .500 following its nine-game losing skid. That dreadful stretch was broken with a win over the Nuggets. The Suns have been solid on the road but could be due for a flat spot following a last-second loss at Orlando.
The Raptors dealt Norman Powell on Thursday but ultimately decided to hold onto Kyle Lowry. They netted Gary Trent Jr. in the Powell deal, but he’s not expected to be eligible for this contest. Powell is averaging 19.6 points per game, so his loss is a significant one. Add in the Suns' 14-6 record ATS on the road, and I like them to come away with a decisive win.
