Yep, buyer beware. Toronto is a .500 road team and is streaky as hell. Indiana plays better at home and can really light it up.
Avoid this like the plague unless you want a bit of Indiana M.L. action, imo. GL, though.

Toronto is shaping up to being the "jinx" pick of the day by the looks of it.

I have saved myself money by NOT playing teams that played the day before. If they play on Sunday and I think it's a play, I avoid. Back to back games (especially with travel) is not somewhere I like to go.

valid points all around, raps dropped to 2 1/2. should've waited but TBH i thought line movement would go the other way, oh well.

I loved the Raptors when I saw this line. How can you go wrong? Indiana also has a banged up roster with O'Neal and Tinsley questionable/doubtful? Both teams are streaky, but Toronto has more overall talent on the court tonight, who will guard Bosh and Bargnani? Dunleavy and Granger can't carry their team for 48 minutes.
RAPTORS -3.

Milwaukee Bucks Schedule:
Wed, Feb 20 Detroit W 103-98
Fri, Feb 22 at Detroit L 100-127
Played consecutive games - neither team played the 21st.
New York Knicks Schedule:
Fri, Feb 22 Toronto W 103-99
Sun, Feb 24 at Toronto L 92-115
Played consecutive games - neither team played the 23rd.
Pretty similar relationship if you ask me.
The Pistons follow-up game 2/23: Away at the Suns and stomped them.
The Raptors follow-up game 2/25: Away at the Pacers and ____?____ them.
Maybe irrelevant, but it just does not matter that Toronto lost to the Knicks on 2/22.

Good points, and the way I look at it is very simple: There's far too many games left on the schedule to be chasing minimal edges. Toronto will come up against weak teams again, at home, and without being on a back-to-back. This isn't a good value spot for a play on them, imo.

So now do we fade the Pistons? No, they killed the Suns in Phoenix.
never a good idea betting against denver at home imo

Take Raptors to the bank! Love these situations Betting public is 74% on Toronto but the line is moving towards IND to make it look like people are putting money on IND so people just think there is something they dont know. TOR-2.5 5 units HOLLA!

This is the Toronto thread, and I'm talking about Toronto. My point being that the Knicks and the Bucks are close to being the same team record wise and game wise. My point is take the Raptors, because someone mentioned that they had just lost to the Knicks not long ago, and I was countering that argument.

I live in Ontario and watch every Raptors game. They suck azz on the road and the only way I could play this is Indy ML as Tor is on a back to back, with travel, and up against a team desperate for a win on rest. Pass.

definitely got lucky here. toronto turned the ball over way too much, but strong 2nd and 4th quarters put this one in the book. congrats toronto backers
