Schule's NBA PRIMETIME PUNISHER
(NBA) Memphis vs. Toronto, 11/19/2014 2:30 PM, Score: 92 - 96
Money Line: -135.00 Toronto (Home)
Result: Win
This is an 8* play on the Toronto Raptors.

The Raptors are off to a hot start, sitting in first place in the Eastern Conference, half a game up on the Wizards and Bulls. They face a tough challenge tonight, as they host the 10-1 Memphis Grizzlies. There is no denying that the Grizzlies have played well, but I don't expect this run to continue.

This will be the first time Memphis plays on the road against a top tier team, as eight of it's 10 wins have come against teams that are currently not in line to make the playoffs. Seven of those teams have losing records.

When the schedule gets tougher, the Grizzlies will slip in the standings, and making the playoffs might not be a foregone conclusion. Toronto's two losses have come against the Heat in Miami, and at home to Derrick Rose and the Bulls. They were leading 52-45 at the half against Chicago.

The Raptors won both meetings last season by double digits, and they've covered seven of their last eight at home versus teams with a winning record.

Take TOR.
