Kawhi Leonard, the hero of the 2019 title, is back in Toronto. The Raptors opened the season on October 21 against Chicago, then visited the Clippers, his former team, on November 2. A return likely to move the team's odds from the first month.

Darko Rajaković is the head coach and Bobby Webster the general manager. The Kawhi Leonard trade was officially completed on September 14, 2026, after being put on hold while the NBA investigated the Clippers over Leonard's contract. To get him, Toronto sent Brandon Ingram, Gradey Dick, first-round picks in 2031 and 2033, a 2027 first-round swap and two second-round picks to Los Angeles.
That matters for betting. In 2025-26 the Raptors went 46-36, finished fifth in the East and lost a seven-game first-round series to Cleveland. Ingram led the team at 21.5 points per game and was an All-Star with Scottie Barnes. Leonard averaged 27.9 points over 65 games with the Clippers and made the All-NBA Second Team. Expect Leonard, Barnes and RJ Barrett to share most of the shots.
Raptors odds to win the championship and odds to make the playoffs are the two futures people search most. Sportsbooks also offer a season win total, the Atlantic Division winner and the NBA Cup. For single games, player props on Leonard and Barnes (points, rebounds, assists or combined) are the most common. Preseason games like the Quebec City game may have limited markets or none at all.
No price is a sure thing. Compare lines between sportsbooks and treat futures as long-term bets that can be settled months later.
