(NBA) Toronto vs. Charlotte,
Point Spread: 1.00 | -110.00 Toronto (Away)
Result: Loss
This is a 10* RED DRAGON on the Toronto Raptors.

In my opinion, this is a great situational play. Toronto has been scuffling of late and embarks on a tough three-game road trip most likely without the services of leading scorer Kyle Lowry. If Lowry doesn't play, it's not anything this incredibly deep team can't compensate for though. In fact, if Lowry does sit, I think it'll be a rallying point for the rest, a definite motivational/psychological factor that we can take advantage of. Lowry has sat the last three contests but is travelling with the team on this trip, with games in OKC and San Antonio upcoming. With consecutive games vs. playoff hopefuls on the horizon, starting this trip off on the "right foot" against the 26-33 Hornets (just 14-16 at home), will be paramount for the visitors today. And it may come as a surprise, but this is a revenge game for Toronto as the Hornet have in fact won five straight over the Raptors overall and seven straight in the series in front of the home town crowd. Charlotte is clinging to the eighth spot in the East and has won three straight, but I think will have a letdown here, as note this is a spot in which the Hornets have already struggled in for bettors this season, coming into tonight's game having gone a poor 3-6 ATS after scoring 105 points or more in their previous contest, just 3-4 ATS after three or more consecutive victories and only 3-7 ATS in their last ten vs. poor defensive teams which allow 99 plus points per contest. The Raptors need to rally here, they've lost six of their last seven, most recently a 120-112 setback to Cleveland on Wednesday, Toronto coming up just short after rallying from a 19-point second half deficit to take the lead at one point. With or without Lowry, I think the RAPTORS come to play today and find a way to get the job done at the end of the night.
