The Toronto Raptors are currently on one of their toughest road trips of the season, and things won’t get any easier on Tuesday as they prepare to take on the mighty San Antonio Spurs. Sportsbooks opened the Spurs as 7-point home chalk with an OVER/UNDER of 212.5.
- The Raptors are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games on the road.
- The Spurs are 7-0 SU in their last seven games at home.
- The Spurs are 1-4 ATS in their last five games at home against teams with winning records.
San Antonio will play six of its next eight games at home and will have a healthy Kawhi Leonard back in the fold tonight. Leonard admitted being “weary” from all the medication he took while fighting an illness over the holidays and was limited in San Antonio’s 114-112 overtime setback to Atlanta on Sunday.
Toronto almost lost its third straight vs the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday before Kyle Lowry stepped up and delivered 20 of his season-high 41 points in the fourth quarter to lift the Dinos to a 123-114 triumph. Backcourt mate DeMar DeRozan delivered 31 points in the winning effort.
If the Raps want to seriously be viewed as championship contenders, they'll need to start beating the NBA's top tier of teams. Toronto is 0-5 SU against Golden State and Cleveland this year but has gone 23-5 SU against other clubs.
The OVER has been a profitable play when these teams have collided over the years. In the last 10 matchups between the Raptors and Spurs, the OVER is 8-2.
