The Toronto Raptors were an after thought in terms of playoff potential at the beginning of the season, and their 6-12 start did nothing to deter that thinking. Toronto has grown up quickly, gotten to be a confident team, and have been eight games over .500 since. Toronto is still flying under the radar at 22-8 ATS in their last 30 games, and are 5-1 ATS in their last six in the role of a favorite. New Orleans has struggled since the departure of Chris Paul, who stabilized this team. The Pelicans surprised at 11-10 through 21 games, but unlike the Raptors, they have gone in reverse since, at seven games below .500. The Pelicans have not been competitive on the road vs. a winning home team where they are 7-18-1 ATS in their last 26, while Toronto coming up big after a loss at 10-2 ATS in their last 12. Make the play on Toronto.
