I ran short on time today to complete the line moves article, thus I have a substitute along other key information.

One of the keys to Toronto having a turnaround season has been the improvement of its defense, allowing 97.1 points a game which is good enough for fifth in the NBA. Tonight they will do battle with Atlanta, who has lost and failed to cover four in a row and comes in ranked 16^th in points allowed at 100.8 per contest.

The Raptors have been more like their free-flowing days when Chris Bosh was still north of the border, with its last three games having averaged 214 total points, which explains why they are 1-2 and 0-2-1 ATS in that trio of contests.

However, if you like Toronto tonight, help is on the way, if you keep reading!

Play ON favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points like Toronto, who concede 92-98 points a contest, versus a squad like Atlanta who allows 98-102 PPG, after 42 games into the season, after a combined total score of 205 points or more in three straight games.

This NBA system does not come up often, but when it does it is extremely profitable at 22-4 ATS the past 18 years. Also, the margin of victory is an impressive 11.4 points a game. Something to consider tonight.

NBA Line Moves

Grizziles/Magic 182.5 to 180.5
Pacers -8 to -9.5
Hawks/Raptors 193 to 203
Pelicans/Bucks 191 to 194.5
Pelicans -5.5 to -7.5
Clippers -6 to -9

The Clippers huge move is very intriguing, especially when you consider over 60% of bets placed have been on Portland. Somebody must know something!

College Hoops Line Moves

DuQuesne +1 to -2.5
Baylor -7 to -9
UConn -16 to -14.5
Georgia -1 to -3
Memphis -15.5 to -13.5
Nevada -4 to -5.5
