The Golden State Warriors were dealt a devastating blow with Jimmy Butler tearing his ACL last night, ending his season.

Meanwhile, it’s been a roller coaster season for the Toronto Raptors, so can they take advantage of this matchup while the Dubs try to find their bearings without Butler?

My Raptors vs. Warriors predictions and NBA picks break it all down for Tuesday, January 20.

Raptors vs Warriors prediction

Raptors vs Warriors best bet: Raptors +3.5 (-110)

Both the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors are banged up, but the loss of Jimmy Butler probably makes the Dubs reassess their entire trajectory of this season.

The strength of both teams is defense, with each ranking in the Top 5 in defensive rating. This makes me like the underdog.

Butler's absence, combined with playing the second half of a back-to-back, while getting more than three points with the Raptors as underdogs, is a great spot to back Toronto as the Warriors try to figure out life without Jimmy Buckets.

Raptors vs Warriors same-game parlay

Butler’s first assignment in this game was likely shutting down Brandon Ingram. Ingram is averaging 21.7 points per game this season, and while he’s been in a bit of a slump, this is the perfect opportunity for him to get back on track.

Meanwhile, Immanuel Quickley has had an up-and-down season for the Raptors, but he’s averaging 17.6 points per game over his last 13 and has topped 15.5 points 10 times over that stretch.
