The Toronto Raptors will be up against the Golden State Warriors at home, Scotiabank Arena, on Sunday, December 28. This is the first time these teams are coming against each other in the current NBA season. The hosts will enter the matchup on the back of a blowout loss to the Washington Wizards. The game saw Brandon Ingram leading the Raptors with 29 points, while Immanuel Quickley came up with 25 points.

In addition to it, Scottie Barnes dropped 14 points, whereas Sandro Mamukelashvili recorded 13 points. However, this combined effort from the Raptors didn’t prove to be enough for them to finish beyond the victory line.

On the other hand, the Golden State Warriors are coming off three consecutive wins. After defeating the Phoenix Suns and the Orlando Magic, the Dubs handed a ten-point loss to the Dallas Mavericks in their most-recent fixture. Stephen Curry led the charts with 23 points while De’Anthony Melton came up with 16 points off the bench. Apart from them, many other players including Jimmy Butler, Moses Moody, and others made key contributions for the side.

Considering how the teams have been performing, we expect the Warriors to dominate their rivals on Sunday. However, before it, let’s get into their injury concerns as well as predicted starting lineups.
