The Utah Jazz and Toronto Raptors meet Friday night at Scotiabank Arena with tip-off slotted for 7:40 PM ET. Both of these teams are fighting for playoff berths and are working with new pieces to their respective squads after the NBA trade deadline. The Raptors currently sit 10th in the Western Conference, while the Jazz hang on to the 11th spot in the East. Let’s take a look at my best bets for this Friday night matchup.

Jazz vs Raptors Best Bets
Raptors -7 (-110 DraftKings)
The Jazz boast a powerful offense, but also just gave up 143 points to the Timberwolves on Wednesday night. Toronto should counter with their defense, who’s only allowed 104.0 points per game in their last three contests (3rd in the NBA), and will most likely have the services of new center Jakob Poeltl, a difference maker in battles on the inside.
The Raptors are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games in Toronto and 2-7 ATS in their last nine contests on a Friday night. Take Toronto, particularly at home.
Risk: 1.1 units on DraftKings to win 1 unit. (Playable to -115)

Jazz vs. Raptors Game Total Over 230.5 (-110 DraftKings)
The line has fallen by two points since coming out, landing at a very reachable 230.5. As I mentioned above, the Jazz surrendered 143 points to the T-Wolves just two days ago and have allowed an average of 127.3 points their last three times on the court. The Over is 6-0 in Utah’s last six road contests and 5-1 in Toronto’s last six Friday night games. With new faces on both sides of the court, this should be an interesting one, with plenty of scoring.
