San Antonio has won 15 of 16 games in this arena this season. They are winning by 11.6 points per game on average. Manu Ginobli may not play here but it doesn't matter. The Spurs have handled the Raptors six straight times at home. And, Toronto is playing poorly on the defensive end of the court right now (giving up an average of 115 ppg to their last three opponents). Over the past three seasons, they are just 17-44 vs. teams that take care of the ball (those averaging 14 or fewer turnovers per game). They are also 3-13 over that span after allowing 120+ points in their last game and 5-17 coming off three or more straight road games. The Spurs are 1420-100 UNDER in the first half when coming off a double-digit home win. They are also 40-26 UNDER in the first half the past two seasons when at home vs. a winning team. Under Sam Mitchell, the Raptors are 24-13 UNDER in the first half when coming off two straight high-scoring games (205+ ppg). Spurs for the win and UNDER in the first-half.
