Prediction for the NBA match which will take place on December 30. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Toronto Raptors

The Raptors are one of the main and hopeless outsiders of this season. The team sits 13th in the Eastern Conference and has won only 7 games out of the 31 already played in this championship. Toronto is 26th in defense with an average of 118.5 points per game, although on offense sits at a respectable 12th position, scoring 112.5 points per game on average.

Toronto's previous two games were played on the road against the Contenders and allowed over 290 points in two games. First, the Raptors lost at Madison Square Garden to New York (125:139), and then failed in Memphis against the Grizzlies (126:155).

Atlanta Hawks

The Hawks are also weak defensively, sitting even lower than Toronto in the rating of defensive efficiency - 119.5 passing points per game on average. However, the team is among the best on offense, ranking seventh with 117.2 points per game. That's why Atlanta, unlike Toronto, is solving tournament problems, currently in sixth place in the Eastern Conference with a 17-15 win-loss record.

Yesterday Atlanta played another quality game, beating Miami at home - 120:110. Jalen Johnson was the most productive for the Hawks, scoring 28 points. And Trae Young finished the meeting with 15 assists. It should be noted that this victory was the third in a row for Atlanta.
