Oklahoma City Thunder Form

Oklahoma City head to Toronto on a decent run of form, having rebounded from back-to-back defeats with four wins in their previous five games.

The Thunder began February with a 121-111 victory in Denver, and followed that up at home as they beat Orlando 128-92.

They failed to keep that run going though, as they fell 116-106 in San Antonio, and they then suffered a 112-106 defeat when they hosted Houston.

Oklahoma City rebounded on the road however, as they took down the Los Angeles Lakers, 119-110, and then beat Phoenix 136-109.

The Thunder failed to make it three-in-a-row when they returned home to lose 110-93 to Milwaukee, but they did respond quickly to beat Brooklyn 105-86 and Cleveland 121-113.

Toronto Raptors Form

Toronto come into this matchup on a solid run of form, having won five of their previous seven games.

The Raptors enjoyed a four-game win streak on the road in late January, before suffering a 119-112 defeat at home to New York.

They then fell 130-120 in Orlando, before snapping that skid with a 107-100 success when they entertained Utah.

Toronto failed to follow that up, losing 128-126 to Minnesota, but they did respond strongly as they eased past Chicago and Indiana at home, winning 123-107 and 122-104 respectively.

The Raptors then answered a 113-95 defeat to Detroit with back-to-back victories on the road, downing Chicago 110-101 and Milwaukee 122-94.

Verdict

Toronto have got some momentum and they are the healthier team heading into this.

They did down the Thunder last month too, so give us the Raptors and the free points in this one.
