I try to pick my spots with the raptors, and will be on them today for an avg size play.
FWIW...First US National Televised game for the Raptors in almost 13 years...the team has had this one circled for a few weeks, and almost got caught in a look ahead against Orlando. Raptors tend to play to the level of competition, and generally step up for these big types of match ups at home...this is evident with Torontos 7-0 ATS mark in their last 7 home games vs a team with a winning record. Toronto is also 26-7 at home over their last 33 games. Look for an electric playoff like atmosphere tonight in the ACC. Toronto is becoming a tough place for teams to come in and get a win.
Toronto has had a bad habit of starting off slow, but i think they will come out ready to go, similar to their most recent home game against good competition (jumped up early on Washington and never looked back). Look for the defensive intensity to pick up, the Raptors generally do well against the spread after giving up 100 pts the game before.
Looking at a close entertaining game, with Toronto pulling away late.
Play: Toronto - 2.5
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE
