Grizzlies vs. Raptors prediction and prop bets for Monday, Nov. 9, Digi Mart USA News: The Memphis Grizzlies opened the 2026-27 season with a six-game winning streak, but they have cooled off since, losing three games in a row. Now they head on the road to face the Toronto Raptors, who are off to a 5-4 start and potentially short-handed on Monday.
Kawhi Leonard (knee) remains out for Toronto, and the Raptors could also be without Scottie Barnes (questionable) and Immanuel Quickley (questionable). That would place heavy pressure on RJ Barrett, who is averaging over 21 points per game and looks like one of the more consistent players on the roster.
Meanwhile, the Grizzlies are missing Scotty Pippen Jr. and Isaiah Stewart, yet they are just 2.5-point road underdogs, with oddsmakers viewing the two teams as fairly even through the first three weeks of the season.
Memphis rookie Cameron Boozer has not shot the ball well this season, making just 33.9 percent of his field goal attempts and 31.6 percent of his three-pointers. That has been a concern, but it has not dented his confidence.
Boozer is still taking 6.3 three-point attempts per game and has made two or more threes in six of his nine appearances.
Toronto ranks 20th in the NBA in opponent three-point percentage, which could offer Boozer an opening. He attempted eight shots from deep in his last matchup.
As long as he stays near his season average in attempts, he should make two or more three-pointers on Monday.
This is only the fourth time this season the Grizzlies have been set as underdogs. They are 6-3 against the spread overall and 2-1 against the spread as underdogs, though they have faced an easy early schedule.
It is not surprising that this young team is starting to lose some games heading into the fourth week of the regular season.
Still, the Raptors are not nearly as dangerous without Leonard, and their injury issues are a major concern. If Barnes and Quickley sit, Memphis could close as favorites on Monday night.
Memphis remains a top-10 team in net rating and defensive rating, and both teams rank in the top 12 in nearly every major metric to open the season. The analysis suggests oddsmakers view the teams as fairly equal, and the writer is comfortable taking the points with Memphis in case Toronto rules out more players before tipoff.
