Both these teams play at a fast pace - Toronto breakneck the last two weeks - and throw up a ton of shots and I like this 7-footer to collect a double double tonight, something he's done in 3 of 5 games since the AS break. He's averaged 10 rebounds/g his last 10 games and is thriving in their revamped lineup. GS lacks size (though they rebound like heck). True centers have gone over this with regularity vs GS. Grabbed 11 in first meeting with the Warriors.

Draymond is having a blast while the Warriors surge and this is his time of year. He's fresher that unusual after missing time to injury and both of these teams will be shooting like crazy tonight. Plenty of rebound chances. New-look Raptors are top 5 in NBA in pace and shots taken the last 5 games. Warriors shooting might be off after big game at MSG Thurs. Dray is over this in 4 of the last 5 road games and 6 of 9, dating back to his return from injury in Jan. He has 53 REB in 5 games back from AS break and I see this being a back and forth game where he can't sit for too long. Still giving us value

The center looks better and better this month in his return from injury and the Raptors have a rest advantage. GS just put on a show at MSG Thurs, but 3 of the last 4 true centers they have faced are over this and Poeltl went for 14 vs them earlier. Poeltl is over this in 4 of the last 7 home games, averaging 13 PPG. Averaged 13 PPG in Feb. Raptors playing run-and-gun and scored 121+ 5 in a row. Warriors D will limit them some but the big man sees plenty of touches (30.6 front court touches/G over last 5 - 4th among 7-footers - and 10.4 paint touches/G last 5 - 1st among 7-footers). Shooting 20/35 (57%) the last three games.

RJ Barrett is coming off of arguably his best month not only this season but since entering the NBA. Barrett averaged 20/6/4.5 on exceptional splits (sans free throws) of 55/47/51. Barrett is a career 43% shooter from the field and 34.5% from behind the arc. This screams regression and this looks like a fantastic spot to fade Barrett as this is close to as high as you will find this combo line. Additionally the Raptors are as healthy as they've been all season long and are deploying a nine and sometimes 10 man rotation. Ultimately this line should be 28.5 or 29.5 and Barrett's hot shooting is not sustainable.

Things have fallen into place for the Dubs, who have won and covered ten of their last twelve as they hit Toronto. Even a potential negative like Andrew Wiggins' recent leave of absence is countered by the return to active duty of Chris Paul, now teaming with Klay Thompson coming off the bench in the latest successful strategic move by Steve Kerr, whose previous shift to Draymond Green into the starting lineup at center for a full-scale small-ball assault had already paid dividends. Some brief flashes lately by the Raps, but the defense was burned by Dallas on Wednesday, and expect Toronto to begin losing more altitude as March progresses, with manpower depleted after trading away OG Anunoby & Pascal Siakam. Play Warriors
