The Toronto Raptors have been getting by this year with an incredible offense and mediocre defense, but the team showed major holes on the defensive end in Friday’s 125-121 setback to the Atlanta Hawks. The Dinos, who have won 10 of their last 12, will look to right the ship against the lowly Orlando Magic on Sunday.
- The Raptors are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games against the Magic.
- The total has gone UNDER in 4 of the Raptors' last 5 games against the Magic.
- The Raptors are 5-1 SU in their last 6 games on the road against the Magic.
While the Raps didn’t come through for spread bettors in the game, they did cash yet another OVER ticket. In fact, Toronto is the best OVER team in the Association at 19-7 OVER/UNDER. The recipe for consistent OVERs is simple: bet on a team that shoots the lights out and isn’t particularly stout on defense. That’s Toronto in 2016-17.
Orlando is another team that’s been on an OVER tear of late. Frank Vogel’s crew have gone above the closing total in seven of their last eight games while giving up at least 108 points in each of the past five tilts.
The Raptors have been dynamite in this series, as Canada’s lone NBA club is a fantastic 13-1 SU in their previous 14 vs the Magic. Toronto is also 5-0 ATS in its last five games away from the Air Canada Centre.
