NBA Betting Trends

Toronto

The Raptors are 4-1 ATS in their last five road games. Toronto is 4-1 ATS in its last five games versus a team with a winning straight up record. 

Orlando

The under is 4-0 in the last four meetings in Orlando. Toronto is 7-3-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings overall.

Prediction:

The Raptors should have Kawhi Leonard back for this game, but point guard Kyle Lowry is questionable with a sore ankle. Keep an eye on his status as he's important to Toronto's success on both ends of the court. Orlando is playing well and gets to stay at home here while Toronto could be fatigued by travel. Its victory over the Bulls comes against a team that has been getting blown out right and left around the NBA. I'm going to say Orlando plays with confidence and tries to prove itself against arguably the Eastern Conference's best team. Take the points with the Magic.
