Toronto at Denver

It has been a ugly start for the Toronto Raptors with just a 4-13 record through their first 17 games. However, they have been a lot more competitive than the 4-13 record would indicate as they have lost a pair in overtime, a pair by 1 point and yet another by 2 points. Turn those five games around and they would be 9-8 with a better record than Denver at this point. The Nuggets have been disappointing at under .500 through 17 games. They are riding a three game losing streak, allowing 111ppg during the three games. The Raptors should get a boost from winning last time out and have played over the line against teams with a home winning percentage of greater than .600 at 10-3 ATS in their last 13. The Nuggets are just 5-16 straight-up the past three seasons after scoring 100+ in four straight games. They are also off a tough game vs. the Lakers and have Atlanta on deck. They are not playing well and could get caught here. Play on Toronto on the moneyline.
