Toronto has been rolling all season, second in the NBA in points scored, plus they can play defense, too (15th in points allowed). Kyle Lowry has averaged 22.0 points and 9.0 assists in the last 14 games. Lowry had a game-high 25 points and seven assists Saturday, a big 110-98 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers. The Raptors are 5-1 ATS playing on no days rest, plus 8-3 ATS in their last 11 road games. Toronto has also produced quality defensive play during its 7-1 run, holding opponents under 100 points five times in that span. The UNDER is 7-1 after the Raptors win by 10+ points. Denver is just 16th in the NBA in scoring, plus 1-3-1 ATS in their last five home games. Denver is also on a 6-1 run UNDER the total at home. Toronto snapped a nine-game skid in Denver (13-17) with a 100-90 victory on Jan. 31st, and also took the first meeting this season, 112-107 in overtime on Dec. 8th. The road team is 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings between these teams. Play Toronto and Toronto/Denver UNDER the total.
