The latest Toronto Raptors odds haven’t been kind to Nick Nurse and his team, as they made it seem like the squad faces a severe uphill climb in order to make it to the postseason. After earning the No. 4 overall pick last year, that trepidation is understandable.
Even with the loss of Kyle Lowry, Nurse has a team full of proven NBA scorers and intriguing young talents, meaning that Toronto shouldn’t be discounted as a potential impact player in the postseason irrespective of what Vegas says.
