The panic levels are rising in a hurry for the Toronto Raptors after three straight losses, but they\u2019re favorites to right the ship tonight against the Phoenix Suns.<\/p>\n

Though some erratic offensive outings have plunged Toronto into play-in uncertainty, my Suns vs. Raptors predictions expect a response from RJ Barrett & Co. here, even with Phoenix chasing a playoff spot of its own.<\/p>\n

Read on for my free NBA picks<\/a> for Friday, March 13.<\/p>\n

Suns vs Raptors prediction<\/p>\n

Suns vs Raptors best bet: RJ Barrett Over 20.5 points (-105)<\/p>\n

It\u2019s all hands on deck for the Toronto Raptors<\/a>, and RJ Barrett<\/a> is the man in form.<\/p>\n

While Scottie Barnes is dealing with an illness and Brandon Ingram has had some tired outings this month, Barrett is soaring with 23.4 PPG on 60% shooting in March.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s scored 20+ points in five of his last six games, and there are positive signs with his 3-pointers after going 17-for-42 in his past eight contests.<\/p>\n

Ingram draws so much attention that Barrett likely won\u2019t see the Phoenix Suns<\/a>\u2019 best defenders tonight. He\u2019s the key to Toronto getting back in the win column.<\/p>\n

Suns vs Raptors same-game parlay<\/p>\n

A big night from Barrett can be the catalyst for a Raptors win, and the hosts are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 meetings with the Suns.<\/p>\n

Phoenix is on the second night of a back-to-back set, and the visitors are 4-9 SU this year with a rest disadvantage.<\/p>\n

Jakob Poeltl<\/a> still doesn\u2019t look fully healthy, but he remains a difference-maker defensively. He\u2019s had at least one block in six straight contests, and I\u2019m picking him to extend that streak here.<\/p>\n

Suns vs Raptors SGP<\/p>\n

RJ Barrett Over 20.5 points<\/p>\n

Jakob Poeltl Over 0.5 blocks<\/p>\n

Our “from downtown” SGP: Book It<\/p>\n

With Dillon Brooks still out, Phoenix needs the very best of Devin Booker<\/a> \u2014 and he\u2019s coming off a 43-point explosion in Indiana last night.<\/p>\n

Look for another complete stat line tonight from Book, who\u2019s dished 22 dimes across his past three games.<\/p>\n

Suns vs Raptors SGP<\/p>\n

Devin Booker Over 26.5 points<\/p>\n

Devin Booker Over 5.5 assists<\/p>\n

Devin Booker Over 3.5 rebounds<\/p>\n

Devin Booker Over 0.5 steals<\/p>\n
