Stephen Nover's NBA Monday Big Ticket - 8-1 NBA Hot Streak
(NBA) Toronto vs. Denver, 03/06/2023 9:00 PM, Score: 113 - 118
Point Spread: -7.00 | -105.00 Denver (Home)
Result: Loss
The Raptors are a mediocre Eastern Conference club that has a losing record on the season, mainly because of a 12-20 road mark.

Only once have the Raptors played an above .500 team during their last 10 games. That was a road game against the Cavaliers. Cleveland buried the Raptors, 118-93.

Denver is 29-4 at home. The Nuggets have lost once at home since Dec. 6. Denver has won each of its last seven home games by nine or more points. 

So why should this home matchup be any different? 

It shouldn't. The Raptors are 2-6 ATS in their last eight road games and that includes covering against the Wizards in overtime this past Saturday. 

The Raptors have failed to cover on the road against the Nuggets in six of their last seven visits. Playing in Denver's thin mountain air isn't going to help them coming off a Saturday night overtime game that was played on the East Coast. 

The Nuggets have covered each of the last six times they've hosted an opponent with a below .500 road record.
