The Toronto Raptors are coming off a 122-116 triumph over Utah but they had failed to cover the spread in four straight contests prior to that. The visitors are expected to be without Kyle Lowry for the ninth time in 10 games, and I don't think they'll be able to keep up with San Antonio at AT&T Center without their star point guard.

The Spurs are 7-1 ATS through their last eight games overall, a rock solid 15-5 SU (14-6 ATS) at home this season and they have won nine straight home games in this series.

Add the motivation of putting a beating on Kawhi Leonard in his first matchup at San Antonio in a Raptors uniform, and I think we have solid angles supporting the Spurs here.

8* play on San Antonio Spurs.
