    Why are the Nuggets only -2 ?

    Raptors struggle with teams that pound the paint. They are better then average against the fast break. Line is suspiciously low as I have Nuggets on paper as -5 at Toronto.

    Can taking the Nuggets really be this easy?

    I think the line is begging Raptor action.

    I was thinking more like Denver -4. But I think this has to do with how Raptors have been playing at home. With the addition of Gay, raptors have been playing pretty solid ball. But Denver has owned the raptors and I think they will win tonight. But the line looks odd. And the games between them have been high scoring. I can see this game going over 207.

    Raptors 13-13 home Denver 11-16 on the road wrong team is favorite. And no iguadala. Denver recent 15-3 record is only reason it's not -2 toronto

    Denver had probably the most brutal opening schedule of all teams this year. In their first 23 games 17 were on the road. That's 17 road games and 6 home games to start the season.

    No way should a 19-32 Raptors team be favored over a 33-19 nuggets team. Even with Nuggets being less then stellar on the road.


    A loss Tommorow at Nets without Dwill would be a bigger public burial imo...

    I don't get it... You have listed Nuggets -5 then you see them @ -2 yet you say books are begging for Raptors?

    Reverse psychology. Books are masterminds at it.

    The line is very small. I say take the Nuggets in this one. They could easily kill the Raptors in the second half.

    Denver is 15-2 against the raptors in the last 17 games. I would have been surprised if Raps were favored today.

    This isn't necessarily a trap. Denver is a great 2H team while the Raptors are not. Iggy being out is actually a + for the nuggets, he shoots terribly.

    Wow the money on the Nuggets is over 90%. You would think the books would move the line to balance it out. Maybe they are playing Santa today.

    Andre Iguodala (neck), who is a game-time decision on Tuesday, said that he expects to play against the Raptors.
    "I'm all right," he said. "Probably try to," he added when asked if he'd play on Tuesday. Iggy said that he just "landed funny," adding that rest would be his best remedy. If Iguodala is forced to sit, the Nuggets could choose to start either Corey Brewer or Wilson Chandler, but both players would see a short-term boost. Feb 12 - 8:19 AM

    No they don't, not with this new backcourt... Rudy Gay, DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry are closing down the opponent in transition!

    Toronto +2 is the play!

    Gay gives them one of the most athletic pg,sg,sf combos in the league and he is playing with something to prove. If you can go to Indiana and win that says alot about your team. However I do view it as a coin flip game with no value with slight lean on Toronto because of the line movement(or lack there of actually). BOL.

    I'd be more concerned if Lawson or Gallinari were out. Think I'm going to pass though...

    Without them I see the Raptors taking this game. Nuggets probably wont try that hard either. And now the raptors have some real firepower on the wings and without iggy and galinari they can match and better them on shooting and speed/athleticism with lowry, ross, derozan and gay.

    Igoudala and Gallinari are both out tonight according to Rotoworld. Line has moved Toronto to favorite.

    Well, I don't know about that, but it should be a slightly lower scoring game at least.
