Toronto is hungry for a good performance, the No. 4 seed in the East, after dropping two in a row. This team is fifth in the NBA in points scored, and the Raptors are 11-2 ATS against the NBA Northwest Division. They face an Oklahoma City team without Kevin Durant and relying too much on one ball-hog, on a 2-3 SU/ATS run. Russell Westbrook can record a fourth consecutive 40-point game Sunday night, though if he hoists 30 or more field-goal attempts to keep that run going, it may not help the Thunder's chances of beating the Raptors. Shooting the ball so much isn't leading to wins. He's had more than 30 field-goal attempts in four consecutive games. Westbrook has shot 41.5 percent in this span (56 of 135) and the Thunder have gone 1-3 with the only win coming at home over lowly Philadelphia in overtime. The Thunder is 0-5 ATS playing on two days rest, plus 5-13-1 ATS following a spread loss. Play Toronto.
