NBA Betting Trends

Brooklyn

The Nets are 6-1 against the spread in their last seven games following a failed cover and 8-2 ATS in their last 10 against Atlantic Division opponents.

Toronto

The Raptors are 5-2 against the spread in their last seven games following a win.

Prediction:

These two have split both meetings this season, with the home team covering in both situations. The Raptors covered a 10-point spread on Jan. 11 at home in a 122-105 win. Toronto is definitely the better team, but the issue with them is they can have surprise roster moves right before tip. It seems like they like to sit Lowry or Leonard on occasion, so it could happen tonight without much notice. Assuming both are playing who is listed to play, the Raptors should be too much for Brooklyn. The Toronto defense can keep Russell and LeVert from going off and the Raptors offense should be able to dominate inside.

NBA Prediction: Toronto Raptors -10.5
