Temperatures in Toronto are below 20 degrees (-7 for those North of the border) but the forecast inside Scotiabank Arena is much warmer when the Toronto Raptors host the Utah Jazz Sunday.<\/p>\n
Homegrown star R.J. Barrett is projected to be a source of heat for Toronto, and my Jazz vs. Raptors predictions call for Barrett to burn Utah on the scoreboard.<\/p>\n

Here are my best NBA picks<\/a> for February 1.<\/p>\n Jazz vs Raptors prediction<\/p>\n Jazz vs Raptors best bet<\/strong>: R.J. Barrett Over 17.5 points (-110)<\/p>\n RJ Barrett<\/a> missed the middle of January with an ankle injury, and the Toronto Raptors<\/a> had him on a strict minutes restriction since coming back on January 23.<\/p>\n His floor time topped out at 24 minutes before logging his usual workload with 31 minutes in the loss to the Orlando Magic<\/a> on Friday. He finished with 16 points on 6 of 14 shooting (0-for-5 from 3-point range), but a return home will help him find his form.<\/p>\n Barrett has been a much better shooter inside Scotiabank Arena and gets an advantageous matchup against the Utah Jazz<\/a> tonight. The Jazz play one of the fastest tempos in the NBA, but also get burned on the fastbreak and allow easy looks at the rim.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Utah ranks 30th in fastbreak points allowed and 19th in points in the paint allowed, while also giving up a league-high 28.6 points on transition attacks. Toronto thrives on transition (fourth most ppp), and Barrett leads that charge in fast-break buckets and PITP.<\/p>\n Sunday\u2019s player models all sit north of 18 points for Barrett with a ceiling of 20.7. My number comes out to 19.3, which should have the Over 17.5 points priced around -135.<\/p>\n Jazz vs Raptors same-game parlay<\/p>\n The Raptors are playing with urgency after two straight losses. Our projections call for a 14-point win tonight.<\/p>\n Barrett has been battling on the board \u2014 even with his minutes restriction \u2014 snatching six or more rebounds in five of his last seven games.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Jazz vs Raptors SGP<\/p>\n R.J.
