Tempo Searching for an Answer
Toronto enters Wednesday at 10-22 overall and has lost all five of its most recent games. The Tempo fell 107-95 at Atlanta in their latest contest after previous losses of 97-83, 92-81, 96-79 and 104-72. Toronto is also just 4-11 away from home and enters this matchup riding a nine-game losing streak.
For the season, Toronto is averaging 87.6 points per game while allowing 94.1. The Tempo are shooting 45% from the field while averaging 31.0 rebounds, 20.2 assists, 3.2 blocks and 7.1 steals per game.
The biggest concern is clearly on the defensive end. Toronto is being outscored by 6.5 points per game on average, and the Tempo have surrendered at least 92 points in each of their last five contests. That is a difficult profile to take into a road matchup against a Dallas team averaging nearly 89 points per game.
Wings Have the Statistical Advantage
Dallas enters Wednesday at 19-14 overall and 9-6 at home. The Wings have lost three straight and are just 1-4 across their last five games, with the lone victory coming by an 83-63 score. Despite the recent downturn, Dallas still owns a winning record and has already defeated Toronto twice this season.
The Wings are averaging 88.9 points per game while allowing 86.2. Dallas is shooting 46% from the field while averaging 34.1 rebounds, 21.9 assists, 3.5 blocks and 6.8 steals per game.
Dallas holds advantages in scoring, scoring defense, field-goal percentage, rebounding, assists and blocks. The defensive difference is particularly significant, with the Wings allowing 7.9 fewer points per game than Toronto. Dallas also won the first two meetings between these teams by scores of 89-76 and 108-95.
Toronto Tempo vs Dallas Wings Picks and Prediction
Pick: Dallas Wings -9.5
Laying nearly double digits with a team on a three-game losing streak requires some caution, but Toronto's current form makes Dallas the stronger side. The Tempo have lost nine consecutive games, are 4-11 on the road and have allowed 92 or more points in five straight. Dallas has already beaten Toronto twice and owns significant season-long advantages defensively and on the glass. Take the Wings -9.5.
Pick: Under 183.5
Toronto's defensive numbers make the over tempting, but 183.5 is a substantial total. Dallas is allowing only 86.2 points per game, and the Wings' most recent five games have produced combined totals of 193, 170, 188, 146 and 156 points. Toronto may again surrender plenty, but Dallas' defense provides enough resistance to keep the combined score below this elevated number. Take the under 183.5.
