Toronto Raptors

Vegas Over/Under: 48.5

Fromal’s Record Projection: 48-34
The Bet: Avoid but lean under
Though the Toronto Raptors’ offseason could be deemed a favorable because they managed to keep Kyle Lowry and Serge Ibaka, they didn’t escape scot-free.
Cory Joseph and DeMarre Carroll were exchanged away to new locations, which puts much more strain on Delon Wright and new registering C.J. Miles to fill the shoes of the deceased contributors.
Fortunately, they should have the ability to.
Joseph wasn’t especially successful in Toronto, and Wright has significantly more upside as Lowry’s primary backup. And after Carroll proved a bust on his new contract, Miles should match with his spot-up prowess and willingness to do the small things well.
All these are strong but largely lateral moves, including high floors but more than hints in loftier ceilings.
The Raptors went 51-31 final year, which was an accurate representation of their abilities.
However, regression is coming–not because of roster moves, but rather gamers sliding down at the leaguewide pecking order. Lowry is another year removed from his 30th birthday (terrible news for a point guard), Ibaka is no spring chicken and the group is relying on even more childhood for its depth, which might lead to some inconsistent showings.
Toronto should still finish near the top of this Eastern Conference; our projections have them at No. 4. But compelling for 50 wins may be asking a bit much.
