Toronto still has the best record in the NBA, even after losing at Portland on Friday, and Kawhi Leonard returned after missing two games scoring 28 points. The Raptors won their previous two games in impressive fashion on the road against Golden State and the Los Angeles Clippers. Denver is in a letdown situation after an intense battle with Oklahoma City on Friday night with the Nuggets winning 109-98. There was pushing and shoving near the end of the game after Nikola Jokic frustrated the Thunder scoring 24 points with 15 rebounds and nine assists. The Raptors look for payback after losing at home to the Nuggets, 106-103, on Dec. 3. The road team has covered the spread 10 of the last 13 meetings. Toronto is favored on the road in this matchup for a good reason. Lay the points with the Raptors.
