    Toronto vs Indiana

    Toronto 209.5
    Indiana -9

    Two teams that have been having winning problems of late. Toronto has dropped 11 straight games outright, covering 5 times during the span. Indiana has lost 7 of their last 8 games. The Raptors have allowed at least 100 points in seven straight games and continue to struggle with the league's 26th ranked scoring defense. Toronto has given up more than 105 points per game on the year and are coming off an embarrassing 103-87 loss to Minnesota as a 5 point underdog. The Raptors are currently set as a 9 point dog in tonights game against the Pacers who just fired their head coach. Assistant coach Frank Vogel will take over for the time being. Two bad teams but no way would I take Toronto.

    Indiana -9 and Over 209.5 for me. GL with whoever you play.

    Good point nyplayer.

    I'm sure there are better plays on the board.

    I still like the Pacers in this one.

    9 is a number the books throw out to fukk with bettors. no number is right, but 9 asks the question if a team can win by 10 or more. it usually begs you to take the favorite in situations when they are playing bad teams. in this case the pacers are not a "10" favorite so they put a 9 on the game, that is the case here. with all of the bullshit surrounding this game i'd be passing and looking for a high school game to bet on. toronto has hasn't won since the cn tower was built or the cavs saw a victory. good luck!

    I got 208 early!! The Pacers have avg. 120 ppg in their last 5 home games vs Toronto and one of Indy's best defensive players Brandon Rush is out! It would help if Hansborough is back in the lineup but it should go Over either way!!
