Nets at Raptors picks and predictions
Prediction
Raptors 113, Nets 107
Moneyline
BET RAPTORS (+100).
The Raptors are undervalued in this spot after a late collapse vs. the Kings Wednesday. Toronto will come out extra focused Friday in an effort to end its 3-game losing streak and avoid getting swept by the Nets.
Against the spread
PASS.
There is no need to take the points with the Raptors when they should win straight up and avoid getting swept by Brooklyn. Bet Toronto ML or play the total instead.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 226.5 (-110).
The Raptors should tighten up defensively after giving up 124 points to the Kings. The Under is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings in Toronto and Friday’s matchup should be another low-scoring affair as the Raptors come out extra focused on the defensive end.
