Summer means many things to sports fans, from the arrival of the postseason in the NHL and NBA to the mercury rising ever higher across Canada.

Sadly for Toronto Raptors fans, and their Ontario sports betting backers, the team was nowhere to be found on the NBA’s postseason bracket. The Raptors missed the field for a second straight season after making the playoffs eight out of nine seasons between 2014 and 2022, including the franchise’s lone NBA championship in 2019.

So now they have the NBA Draft to look forward to with two picks at their disposal.

Toronto Raptors Draft Picks 2025; Projected Picks

  • Round 1, Lottery-Ninth overall pick
  • Round 2, Pick No. 39 (from the Portland Trail Blazers)

The Raptors finished 30-52, placing 11th in the Eastern Conference. While it was not an easy season, the Raptors do at least retain their own draft pick for this season's NBA Draft. The NBA Draft Lottery gave them the ninth overall pick. 

As a result, now Toronto has their pick – we will see how their futures odds at Ontario sportsbook apps are affected. The Raptors also have a second-round pick that they acquired from the Portland Trail Blazers, currently at 39th. 

Their odds to win the NBA Title are currently off the board, as they have been eliminated. Toronto had +10000 odds at BetMGM Ontario Sportsbook to win the NBA title earlier in the season. When the season began, they had slight hope, until everything fell apart down the line. 

With that in mind, OntarioBets.com broke down what Toronto could do in the 2025 NBA Draft.

Toronto Raptors Draft Needs 2025

  • Rim Protection/Defensive Center
  • Shooting and Floor Spacing

The Raptors are looking for size and will certainly search for a rim protector who can box out and play defense. Overall, they have the scorers, but need to find the players who can defend. Their other need is for better shooting and players with high basketball IQ. 

Leading scorers RJ Barrett, Scottie Barnes and Immanuel Quickley all stand a chance of being dealt this offseason (see our Immanuel Quickley trade odds for more).

Collin Murray-Boyles is an option they could choose in the First Round. He is an excellent power forward who will be a threat on defense, which is what the Raptors badly need.
