Oklahoma City and Toronto played way back in November, and the teams combined to score 201 points despite poor shooting and a slow pace. The teams combined to only take 161 shots from the field, including just 37 attempts from three-point land. Oklahoma City was awful from three-point land in that earlier game against Toronto. The Thunder hit just 34.8% (8-23) from beyond the arc, and they added just 12 points from the free-throw line. Oklahoma City’s offense now comes into this game in excellent current form; they’ve averaged 112.2 points per game on 50.7% shooting from the field over their last five games. Oklahoma City has scored 111 points or more in seven consecutive games.
Toronto shot the ball terribly in that earlier meeting, but they still managed to score 103 points on the Oklahoma City defense. The Raptors shot 41.8% (33-79) from the field, and just 35.7% (5-14) from three-point land. The Raptors did score a lot of easy baskets with 50 of their total points coming inside the paint. Toronto’s offense now enters this game in good current form as they’ve scored 224 points in their last two games. The Raptors return home where they’ve scored 104 points or more in nine straight games. Overall, Toronto is averaging 104.7 points per game on 45.8% shooting from the field and 37.9% shooting from three-point land at home this season. With normal shooting percentages, we expect a high-scoring game between the Thunder and Raptors on Monday night.
