The Toronto Raptors, currently 5th in the Eastern Conference with an 18-14 record, feature a dual-threat spearheaded by Ingram and Barnes. Ingram averages 21.9 points per game, while Barnes contributes 19.2 points and 7.9 rebounds. Their team boasts strong assists and steals statistics. The Golden State Warriors, positioned 8th in the Western Conference with a 16-15 record, are led by Curry, who averages 28.4 points per game and excels in three-point shooting. The Warriors have a mature passing and cutting system, but their away record is a concern. The Raptors' recent form has been inconsistent, with two wins in their last five games. They struggle offensively, averaging only 102.4 points in their last five. However, their home defense is solid, allowing only 104.8 points per game in their last five home games. The Warriors are on a hot streak, winning three of their last five, including a victory over the Mavericks. Curry and Butler's scoring partnership is consistent, but their away defense is vulnerable, conceding 114.6 points per game in their last five away games. In their last five encounters, the Warriors have a slight advantage with a 3-2 record. The three games since 2025 have been closely contested. The Raptors won at home 81-69, while the Warriors secured a 117-114 away victory. Their previous matches have been offensive-focused, with the Raptors' transition offense complementing the Warriors' three-point shooting. This has resulted in high-scoring games. The key to this matchup lies in how each team exploits the other's weaknesses. The Raptors' home court advantage and their dual core could target the Warriors' weak interior defense. The Warriors rely on Curry's outside threat to open up their passing and cutting system, which could compensate for their weak away defense. Considering recent form and head-to-head history, the Warriors' three-game winning streak and roster strength give them an edge.
