Suns are paying their 5th game in 8 days (5 different cities), going 2-2 in that span. Their followiing 4 games are at the Knicks and Grizzlies, home vs Mavs, and at Clippers. From their mindset, this is the most winnable game they have in the shorterm.
On the other side the Raptors have lost 6 in a row, the last 2 of which were on the road and following this game they embark on a 5 game west coast road trip. The Raptors are 2-4 at home but in their last 3 have beat Orlando by double-digits and lost in overtime to the Spurs and Jazz.
Taking the Raptors -1.5 for a regular sized play good luck. (# just went to -2 @ 5 dimes, going to wait it out to see if I can get -1.5, otherwise I'll take the -2 later).
