As a franchise, the Toronto Raptors are used to being underdogs. With a second-round playoff series vs. the defending champion Cleveland Cavaliers looming, it’s no surprise to see the sports betting world once again crowning Canada’s team as dogs.
Of the eight teams remaining in the postseason, the Raptors have the sixth-best odds to win the championship at +5000 — ahead of the Washington Wizards and Utah Jazz. It’s worth noting the Wizards had better odds than Toronto before their Game 1 loss to the Boston Celtics on Sunday.
