Prediction
Raptors 120, Nets 105
Moneyline (ML)
The Raptors (-1250) are monster moneyline favorites over the Nets in Game 4 of this Eastern Conference matchup. Toronto has won the first three games of this series with relative ease and they will look to finish off Brooklyn on Sunday afternoon. While it feels likely that the Raptors will be able to complete the sweep, the moneyline odds just aren’t good enough to consider backing Toronto. PASS on this moneyline in favor of the point spread.
Line/Against the Spread (ATS)
The RAPTORS -13.5 (-110) are huge double-digit favorites over the Nets on Sunday afternoon. While that number may seem large, it’s worth noting that Toronto has won the first three games of this series by a combined 54 points. It’s also worth noting that Toronto has been excellent against the spread as of late, covering in nine of their last 12 games, including the postseason.
With the Raptor’s top-notch defense and ability to score well into the 110s, it’s just a bad matchup for this beat-up Nets’ squad. Expect the Raptors to play with a sense of urgency as they look to close out the Nets in the first round. Take Toronto -13.5 (-110) to cover this huge spread on Sunday.
New to sports betting? A $110 bet on the Raptors -13.5 returns a $100 profit if Toronto beats Brooklyn by 14 or more points.
Over/Under (O/U)
The total for this Game 4 matchup between the Raptors and the Nets is set at 217.5 points, which feels just about right considering how much Brooklyn has struggled on the offensive end in this series. The Nets have averaged only 100.3 points per game in the previous three contests as the Raptors’ No. 1 ranked defense in points per game allowed has shown why they were the best unit in the NBA.
However, with that line being as low as it is, expect Toronto to approach 120 points, which should allow the OVER 217.5 (-110) to hit in Game 4.
