Premium Pick

A good spot for Toronto, a team ranked No. 3 in points scored. Despite two losses to the West on the trip, the Raptors have more wins against the West than any other team from the East at 9-4. The Raptors are 23-9-2 ATS following a loss. Phoenix is just 3-5 at home against the East with losses to Charlotte, Orlando, Miami, Detroit, and Milwaukee. The problem is defense, 28th in the NBA in points allowed. These teams have already met, and Toronto won 104-100 at home behind a career night from Jonas Valanciunas. The center scored 27 points on 10-of-11 shooting with 11 rebounds. Toronto has won four of six in the series and the road team is 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings. Play Toronto.
