New Jersey at Toronto

Meanwhile the Nets survived a sluggish performance from Vince Carter to win their third straight road game straight up and run their record to 5-0 ATS in their last five games. New Jersey looks like a underdog pick (+5 1/2) tonight according to Dunkel, which has the game even. Dunkel Pick: New Jersey (+5 1/2). Here are all of today's games.
