Not much is expected of the Toronto Raptors this season, but the vibes are good surrounding this group as they open the 2024-25 season at home against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
That means things could be tough on Barnes and Quickley tonight, who set up as the primary scorers. However, that also means there are going to be some opportunities for other guys to step up, and I’m looking toward Dick. And even though the Cavs are a strong defensive team, they ranked a surprising 21st in opponent 3-point shooting percentage. With Barnes and Quickley drawing more of the focus, I can see a lot of drive and kicks to Dick who should knock down a trio of treys tonight., who could be in for a tough night against Mobley and Allen while backup Olynyk is sidelined. Poeltl is an underrated big, but he could have little room to work in this one.
Before Barnes' season-ending injury, Quickley averaged 5.8 assists per game. After, he averaged 8.3. Barnes is playing tonight and when you consider the other players who are out for the Raptors, I expect Quickley to be used as more of a scorer than a playmaker in this one.The Raptors hit the board for their season opener as 4.5-point home underdogs and bettors have sided with the Cavaliers, moving to 6.5.
