The Toronto home court record speaks for itself at a league best 10-1. Recently defeating the Kings on the road by 15 does make us feel even more comfortable about this line.
The Kings will struggle to hold down All-Star veterans DeRozan and Lowry who are both coming off big games. They will look to the youth of Hield and Fox to keep the momentum but the tank will run out.
Best Bet = Toronto ML

The Magic are struggling to keep key players healthy with starters Fournier and Gordon doubtful to play.
After dropping 7 in a row, the Pistons have managed to right the ship with two good wins on the road in Atlanta and Indiana.
Back at home the Pistons are looking the goods, however like the Over instead of the line.
Best Bet = Over 201.5

Indiana failed their recent test at home against the Thunder and Pistons where they fell short both games. Although, they are heading towards a +.500 season which if definitely over achieving based on pre-season expectations.
The Nets are remaining competitive with their star guards on the sidelines. New signing Okafor will get to show his stuff for the home crowd tonight. His debut for the Nets in Toronto didn’t go well with a 33 point loss.
The Pacers look good with all options tonight with some value.
Best Bet = Indiana -3.0
Cleveland @ Washington

LeBron and the Cavs will be going for their 18th win in 19 games tonight on the road to the Wizards. On the 2nd night of a B2B, it will be a tough ask.
Washington have welcomed John Wall back from injury with some easy wins against the Clippers and Grizzles. Tonight will be the test given how the matchup ended last season with the LeBron game winner.
Best Bet = Cleveland ML
