The Golden State Warriors (24-24) aim to win for the third time in their last four outings when they host the Toronto Raptors (22-27) at 10 p.m. ET on Friday.

Momentum is on the Warriors' side following Wednesday's 122-120 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies, highlighted by Stephen Curry's game-high 34 points. Meanwhile, the Raptors have back-to-back wins over the New York Knicks and Sacramento Kings, and now aim for just their second three-game winning streak of the season.

Can the Warriors continue their winning ways at Chase Center? Or do the Raptors have a rare road win in store?

Warriors vs. Raptors Prediction & Pick

The Raptors' road victory over the Kings was a rare occurrence. Toronto has struggled on the road all season, highlighted by a 4-9 stretch in its last 13 away games. An uninspiring offense is one of the reasons why the Raptors have struggled, averaging 112.1 PPG (No. 20) while shooting 45.1% from the field (No. 26) and 33.0% from three-point range (No. 28) on the road.

Now, the Raptors have to deal with the Warriors and their 117.7 PPG clip (No. 2). Toronto's lack of perimeter offense will also make it tough to keep up with a Golden State squad that averages 16.4 threes (No. 1) on 37.8% shooting (No. 6). It doesn't help that the Raptors are tied for the second-worst three-point percentage allowed (37.4%).

Considering how the Raptors haven't won in the Bay Area in nearly three years, I have full confidence that Curry, Thompson and co. can lead the Warriors to another win.

Final Score Prediction: Warriors: 124 | Raptors: 116

Warriors vs. Raptors Best Bet

As far as the best bet goes, I have my eyes on the total going over 235 points. After all, both teams have experienced high-scoring affairs lately. The total has been hit in six of the Raptors' last nine games, as well as in 11 of the Warriors' last 15 against Eastern Conference opponents.

Furthermore, the over is 12-4 in the last 16 Warriors-Raptors matchups in the Bay Area, With both sides poised to continue their recent success, look for the projected total to be surpassed.

Bet: Over 235 Points (-110)
