    It's very simple imo: Atlanta shouldn't be laying DD to anyone but the Cavs. Play on Toronto if any.

    Thats what i was thinking. As bad of a form the Raps are in, ATL doesn't blow teams out much at all. And Raps are better then this streak.

    I would lean ATL personally. Last 2 games Toronto has lost by 16 and 11 on the road. ATL beat Toronto by 18 in Toronto earlier this year, second game there they did only win by 3 however. ATL has won by double digits in 4 of their last 6 wins at home (ORL, CLE, GS, & IND), their other 2 wins were NYK by 9 and SAC by 2.

    All this being said, I probably won't play this either way, just food for thought.

    I look at it like this. The Indy loss was because of a scumbag 3 point shot by Collison that should have been an 8 point game.

    Atl would need to win by 12 in this game, not just double digits, and they only done that 5 times in their 15 home wins. Their home ATS record isn't very good either.

    Raptors are not the Cavs, they have a decent team thats just in bad form right now. They will break out of it soon enough. Not saying they win here, but with 11 extra points it leaves all kings of possibilities whether it be a close game or a back door.

    Sorry, line I have is 10.5, so that's why I was just using DD as an example. Guessing you have a 11 line. You make valid points either way, which is why this is a no play for me. I was just playing the contrarian and presenting the other side. BOL if you make a play either way!
