Toronto-raptors vs Memphis Grizzlies Picks and Predictions November 2nd 2025

Last Updated on

The Toronto Raptors look to win consecutive games for the first time this season when they host the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday night at Scotiabank Arena. Tip-off is set for 6 PM ET and the broadcast airs on FDSS.

Toronto ended a four-game skid with a 112-101 win at Cleveland on Friday behind 20 points each from RJ Barrett and Brandon Ingram. Jamison Battle added 20 off the bench as the Raptors’ energy flipped in the second half. Head coach Darko Rajakovic praised the response, saying, “When they got a 10-point lead, something amazing happened in our huddle. Guys started to lift each other up.”

Memphis, meanwhile, blew a 14-point halftime lead and fell 117-112 to the Lakers. The loss extended their alternating win-loss pattern through six games. Ja Morant scored eight points on 3-for-14 shooting and will serve a one-game suspension for comments directed at the staff.

Matchup Breakdown

Raptors outlook: Toronto’s offense has been efficient, ranking among the league’s top five in field-goal percentage (around 50%) and top three from deep (over 40%). They also won the rebound battle 48-42 in Cleveland without Jakob Poeltl. Scottie Barnes remains key on both ends, averaging 14 points and 10 boards.

Grizzlies outlook: Without Morant, Memphis leans on Jaren Jackson Jr., Santi Aldama, and bench production from Jock Landale and Jaylen Wells. They push tempo, ranking top five in possessions per game, and score nearly 119 points per night. But they allow 122+, leaving them vulnerable against efficient shooting teams.

If Toronto maintains its ball movement and limits turnovers, it can control pace. Memphis must convert free throws—they’re top five in percentage—to stay close.
