The Road Warriors Tonight
Toronto Raptors -1
The Raptors are a great away team, in fact, they are the best away team in the Eastern Conference with a 8-6 record. They are also on 2 days rest which should benefit them tremendously over a Hornets team that was just ran over at Amway Center last night. Hornets are a solid home team posting a 10-4 home record on the season but with the possible loss of Batum could really hurt them tonight. Even if he is in he won’t be 100% leaving DeRozan to have a big game against himself or Lamb. Toronto has also won the last 2 against the Hornets including a beat down at Time Warner last year. I see them leading the tempo tonight controlling the game and just wearing down the Hornets defensively.
Raptors win 93-84
Oklahoma City Thunder +3
The prime time game and a possible NBA finals match up. Both these teams know how to win and love the prime time light shining on them. The Cavaliers have been red hot at home posting a 10-1 record but have been 3-7 ATS at home as well. Thunder are cruising in with a 6 game winning streak and are really heating up. I see both teams coming to play tonight but I think the KD and Westbrook combo excelling with huge games tonight and matching the King toe for toe. This should come down to the wire and it wouldn’t surprise me if they stole one outright making the money line tempting but sticking with the free points is the way to go.
Thunder win 103-98
