San Antonio Spurs vs Toronto Raptors

Toronto has lost three in a row while averaging only 101.7 points, including a 129-89 rout by Phoenix when the Raptors shot 36 percent and missed 25 of 35 3-point tries. The Raptors come off a 117-114 loss to Golden State on Thursday although they turned things around and shot 56 percent and hit 11 of 26 from 3-point range. That won't happen two games in a row and Toronto likely will be closer to its 47.2 percent season average and 110.7 points per game. San Antonio averages 111.2 points on the road and the Spurs are #18 in the NBA in 3-point shooting percentage. Take the UNDER.

San Antonio can take advantage of the Raptors' scheduling situation to help end its losing streak as Toronto finally is home following a grueling seven-game trip that lasted 12 days. The first day back after a long road trip usually seems like another road game while the players recover and the Raptors are 0-6 ATS their past six home games following a road trip of at least seven days. Also, Toronto is just 2-4 ATS its past six games overall. Toronto did get a 106-103 win over Memphis on Sunday, but the Grizzlies were playing without three starters including Ja Morant. Both teams average nearly 113 points per game and the Spurs shoot 47.3 percent from the field and will keep this one close. Take the points with the Spurs - Max Play 

Toronto is a road favorite but has a losing road mark. It's the first time all season they've been favored away from home. In addition, starting guard Fred VanVleet (13.3 ppg, 7.7 apg) has a sore back and is questionable. They've lost four of their last six road contests and face a San Antonio squad that has made impressive steps winning five of six. All five of those victories were as a dog, including beating Minnesota in the last game, 107-98, as a +6 home dog. The Spurs play the third game of a four-game homestand, winning the first two, and the wagering value is on the home team to win the game. Play San Antonio on the moneyline.
