San Antonio at Toronto

A long road trip for San Antonio north of the border. This is the third game of a six-game road trip off a pair of grueling games with Boston and Indiana, two physical defensive teams (and two wins). San Antonio is tenth in the NBA in points allowed and held Indiana to 41% shooting the last game. Toronto plays its best defense at home and slows things down against good teams, 4-0 UNDER the total in the Raptors last four home games against a team with a road winning percentage of greater than .600. In fact, the UNDER is 9-3 in the Raptors last 12 home games and 16-7 UNDER the total following a loss, so look for more defense than oddsmakers expect. Play the Spurs/Raptors UNDER the total.
