The Toronto Raptors scored 104 points in their first game of the season, but have yet to get to 100 since without the benefit of overtime. This is a team that realizes it is short on talent to be competitive, so they have chosen the slowdown defensive route, and it has done its part on the scoreboard with 65% of all their games failing to make it OVER the total. The Hawks went over the 100-points mark in nine of their first 12 games, but just one of their last nine without overtime contributing, so they have settled into the half-court game that seems to suit them best, and it has boosted the win column as well at 8-3 over their last 11. Toronto owns just 2 wins on the season at home and each of their losses has come by at least 5 points. Atlanta hasn't overlooked poor teams to get a road win and are 5-1-1 ATS in their last seven vs. a team with a home winning percentage of less than .400. The Raptors on the other hand are just 17-38-1 ATS when playing at home vs. a team with a winning road record. Play this one on Atlanta and the UNDER.
