This is an 8* EXPRESS on the Toronto Raptors.
We don't subscribe to any single handicapping methodology, but instead feel that being flexible with ones approach is the best way to secure profits over the longterm. Sometimes we keep it simple, while other times we'll take into account numerous different factors, like motivation, scheduling and significant injuries. Recognizing classic "spot bets" is something we always do as well, IE: the "look ahead" spot, the "let down" spot and the "trap" game. One set of criteria which we always use when making our decisions are Against The Spread (ATS) statistics.
This particular play is based primarily on strong/relevant ATS statistics and common sense:
As note that San Antonio is just 8-14 ATS on the road this year and only 6-9 ATS against good offensive teams which score 106-plus points per contest, while Toronto is 11-8 ATS in its last 19 in front of the home town crowd and 9-5 ATS in trying to revenge a loss against an opponent.
The bottom line: Toronto beat Detroit last time out, after dropping three of four previous. The Raptors lost to the Spurs in San Antonio back in late October and Toronto has in fact dropped four straight in the series. The Spurs come in off a win at Brooklyn, but they've been alternating wins and losses over the last ten. San Antonio is tired and injured (Kawhi Leonard out again) and it is playing the finale of an extended trip. All signs point to a home side blowout, play on the RAPTORS.
