San Antonio Spurs vs Toronto-raptors Picks and Predictions April 13th 2025

Raptors, Spurs Wrap Up Disappointing Seasons With Eye on the Future

The Toronto Raptors and San Antonio Spurs won’t be heading to the playoffs, but both rebuilding squads will look to finish the regular season on a high note when they clash Sunday in Texas.

Neither team is fighting for positioning, but they’re both building for what’s next.

The Spurs (33-48) return home after a lopsided 117-98 loss to the Suns on Friday. Despite some key absences, San Antonio saw promising performances from Julian Champagnie (23 points), Sandro Mamukelashvili (19 points off the bench), and rookie standout Stephon Castle, who notched a 16-point, 10-assist double-double.

“Some of our young guys took a while to settle into the game… It was a bit of a funky lineup,”

– Spurs acting coach Mitch Johnson on Friday’s loss in Phoenix.

The Spurs rested Devin Vassell, Keldon Johnson, and Jeremy Sochan but are expected to have both Vassell and Johnson available for Sunday’s finale. Star rookie Victor Wembanyama has not played since mid-February due to injury.

Despite the season’s struggles, San Antonio heads into the NBA Draft Lottery with the eighth-best odds and a 6% chance at landing the top overall pick.

Toronto (30-51), meanwhile, had a two-game win streak snapped with a blowout 124-102 loss to the Mavericks on Friday. The Raptors were down by 28 at the half and played with a seven-man rotation, giving younger players extended minutes.

Scottie Barnes led the way with 26 points and nine boards, while Ochai Agbaji chipped in 24 points, hitting 6 of 7 from beyond the arc.

Toronto used its 39th different starting lineup of the season in the loss—setting a new franchise record—and will be glad to leave behind a campaign filled with injuries and roster shuffles.
