About these numbers

Full 2025-26 regular season (last season), captured before tip-off. League rank in small type (30 teams); the gold side ranks higher. Bars show rank, longest = 1st. Source: Gridiron & Wine public Analytics tables.

Last five results this season, oldest to newest. Records are season to date, with home and road splits. Against-the-spread (ATS) and over–under records use the consensus closing line.

Margin of each of the last 10 games this season, oldest to newest (gold = won). Hover a bar for the score margin.

Distance is a straight-line estimate from each team's home arena, not the team's actual itinerary; time-zone change is at game time. Days of rest are full days off since each team's previous game this season (0 = back-to-back); preseason games do not count. Schedule facts only: no fatigue adjustment is applied.

Defensive rating, the points allowed per 100 possessions: Raptors 112.1 (5th), Nuggets 116.1 (21st). Net rating, the offensive minus defensive rating: Raptors +2.8 (11th), Nuggets +5.1 (7th).

The Nuggets closed as 5.5-point favorites at home against the Raptors. The spread closed where it opened. The total closed 231.5, unchanged from the open. After removing the vig, the closing moneyline (Raptors +165, Nuggets -200) prices the Raptors at 36% and the Nuggets at 64%.
