The Raptors have won three in a row and five of eight, but four of those five wins came against losing teams so they really aren't playing that spectacular. Golden State has covered nine of their last 13 games and his team can hand Don Nelson a big gift with a victory here. One more win ties Nelson for the most career victories for a coach (Lenny Wilkens owns 1332 career wins). Granted, that will be tough, but I do expect the Warriors to put up a fight tonight in an effort for their coach. While the Warriors are just 5-31 on the road, they own a 19-16 ATS mark in those games. When playing really bad defenses this year (teams allowing 103+ ppg), Golden State is 11-3 ATS. Meanwhile, Toronto is just 27-42 ATS dating back to last season vs. teams that score 99+ per game. I like the Warriors plus the points here.
