There is no value on Denver (-1200), which is 8-2 in its last 10 overall and 26-6 at home this season, to beat Toronto.
Against the spread
BET NUGGETS -14.5 (-110).
The Raptors have failed to cover in 5 of their last 6 games, including 3 of their last 4 as underdogs. They have lost by double digits 3 times in their last 5 games and are dealing with an array of injuries that will play a role Monday.
Denver is 7-2 ATS in its last 9 games, including 4-2 ATS at home and 3-0 ATS as a favorite of 9 or more points. Six of its last 8 wins have come by double digits.

The Raptors are dealing with injuries that will limit their overall production Monday. They have scored 113 or fewer in 4 of their last 5 games and have hit the Under in 3 of their last 5.
