Prediction
Raptors 118, Spurs 108
Moneyline (ML)
DeRozan and the Spurs got the better of the Raptors in Toronto Jan. 12, as the former Raptors All-Star dropped 25 points with four assists in a 105-104 win. Since that loss, TORONTO (-143) has run off six consecutive wins, including four on the road. San Antonio (+120) isn’t quite tempting enough following a 103-99 home loss to the Phoenix Suns Friday.
San Antonio, ninth in the Western Conference, is 12-11 at home for the season. Toronto is 15-7 on the road and is tied for second in the Eastern Conference. The Raptors are 21-4 straight up when playing on equal rest as their opponent. The Spurs are 10-15 in those situations.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)
Get better value on the RAPTORS (-2.5, -115) by backing them to win by at least 3 points. Toronto is 25-20 against the spread overall and 11-11 on the road. San Antonio (+2.5, -106) is just 18-25-1 ATS overall and 7-16 at home. Each of the Raptors’ last six wins was by 5 points or more.
Over/Under (O/U)
The Spurs are 27-17 against the Over/Under on the season and top the projected totals by an average of 4.6 points per game. The Raptors are 23-21-1 against the O/U and top the line by just 0.5 PPG.
Take the OVER 219.5 (-125). The first meeting of the season fell well short of this number, but the Raptors topped Sunday’s line in five of their last six wins while scoring at least 122 points in four of the six.
