Toronto Raptors @ Denver Nuggets
The Denver Nuggets go for their fourth straight win tonight when they welcome the Toronto Raptors to the Pepsi Center.
The surprising Nuggets are 19-11 overall this season and have only the Spurs and Timberwolves ahead of them in the Midwest. Key to their success has been their dominant home mark of 13-3. Their latest victim was the Golden State Warriors who they annihilated 103-79 despite a horrible first quarter in which they shot just 4-of-22. The Nuggets outscored the Warriors by 17, 15 and 6 points in the following three quarters and even more impressively they had seven different players in double figures. A good sign for tonight's game is the fact that none of their starters logged more than 30 minutes. The easy cover improved their home mark to 12-4 ATS.
Toronto are 15-14 overall which is good for fourth place in the weaker Central division. They had lost 18 straight road games against Western Conference foes prior to beating the Clippers 94-88 Sunday night. On the road this season they are 6-10 SU but have performed well for their backers at 10-6 ATS. It's worth noting though that they are just 2-5 ATS this season following an upset win as an underdog.
These teams met in Toronto earlier this season and the Raptors won 89-76. Denver missed 12 of their first 13 shots in that game and dug themselves a 17 point hole which proved too difficult to come back from. The Nuggets had covered four straight in this series prior to that loss and we expect them to get their revenge tonight.
Denver have won 11 of their last 13 at home and tonight we're forecasting a 6-8 point victory.
Recommended Play: Denver -5.5
