Brooklyn at Toronto

Premium Pick

The Brooklyn Nets are a franchise in decay. They posted 52 wins, including the playoffs in 2012. In three straight seasons since then, they have won fewer games than the previous year. They are 8-30 on the season, and appear to be on their way to making this the fourth of winning fewer games. While that is the case, the public has completely soured on them, and the oddsmakers are now compensating for their loss of flavor with the betting public, and they now hold value. Teams with a winning percentage of less than .200 cover 53.3% of the time, over the last 17 occurrences, they are 13-4 ATS. Toronto is clearly the better team here, but their 3-5 straight-up record in their last eight games has them playing at a low level right now. Take the points on Brooklyn.
