(NBA) Minnesota vs. Toronto,
Point Spread: -7.00 | -110.00 Toronto (Home)
Result: Win
Play: Toronto Raptors
Rating: 10*

The Toronto Raptors will close out a six-game homestand with a matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves Thursday night. Toronto had recorded six consecutive wins before coming up short in a 112-106 loss to Cleveland on Monday, but I like the Raptors to bounce back with a win tonight. The Raptors are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games overall and 3-1-1 ATS in their last five games following a straight up loss. The Timberwolves are struggling and have dropped five of their last six games. They're coming off a 105-91 home loss to San Antonio and are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

The Raptors are 14-6-1 ATS on the season while the TWolves are 7-14 ATS. Timberwolves are 3-9 ATS in the last 12 meetings in Toronto. This shouldn't even be close, and I expect a double-digit win for the Raptors.
