We continue to ride opposing bigs vs TOR. Claxton is far and away their rebounding leader, he has 9+ boards in 8 of last 9 he's played 25+ mins ... and that wasnt against TOR. Raptors allowing 49+ reb/G this month, two more than any team. On Sat 4 WSH players had 8+ rebounds and 2 had 13+, and that's a bad rebounding team. Sabonis just had 17 on them. Holmgren 10 on a bad OKC rebounding team. Raps woes only getting worse. Claxton avg 9 in 2 games vs TOR (when they had Barnes and Poeltl) and avg 9.5/G on road for the season. I project 12+ for him vs a short-manned and weary Raptors team without bigs who can really compete.

The Nets are a bad NBA team ... but the Raptors are a G League team right now. They beat the Nets by 28 last time at TOR, but that was an entire roster ago. This a perfect spot to end their losing streak. TOR is 3-10 ATS last 13. Since losing Barnes et al, the Raptors as a home dog have lost by 20, 34, 10, 41, 15 and 11. They have failed to cover overall 7 straight times at home. Even other horrible teams like WSH handle them. Nets record skewed from playing 8 of last 9 on road and mostly against very solid teams. Can exercise some demons here. Beat a far superior version of TOR by 12 earlier this season.
