Morning Coffee: Raptors’ futures on the move as win streak hits seven

When the Toronto Raptors left town for a three-game road trip that started in North Carolina on Monday night, it looked like they would have a good shot to extend their win streak to a new season-high mark.

Two nights after a 116-101 win over the Charlotte Hornets, the Raptors cruised to a 117-98 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday for a season-high seventh straight win.     

Toronto has covered the spread in all seven games.

As of this morning, the Memphis Grizzlies, Cleveland Cavaliers and Thunder are the only three teams with a better cover percentage than the Raptors.

After stringing together seven straight wins and seven straight covers, we’ve seen significant adjustments across the board.

Here’s the TSN EDGE Morning Coffee for Thursday Feb. 10, 2022.

Pascal Siakam led the way once again on Wednesday night with 27 points, 16 rebounds and five assists.

Meanwhile, from a futures perspective we continue to see their numbers move.
