Sean Murphy på Covers.com bjussar på ett free pick och lirar Raptors +9:
Spoiler:
Sean is ready to LIGHT UP the books this week, with FIVE weeknight college football winners set to kick off on Tuesday night! That's not to mention nightly NBA action, and the start of the new college hoops season on Friday.
Don't forget Thursday NFL too.
Needless to say, now is the PERFECT time to pick up a weekly or monthly picks pass and ensure you don't miss a single winner on board the 'Paddy Wagon'!
The Raptors are off to a 1-2 start, both SU and ATS, but they could just as easily be a perfect 3-0 against the number.
Remember, they led most of the way before the Pacers snuck in for the win (and cover by half a point) in their season-opener. They missed the cover by a point-and-a-half in Brooklyn two nights later before finally crushing the T'Wolves on Sunday.
This is obviously a big 'step-up' game on the road against an elite opponent, but based on their scrappy style at both ends of the floor, I fully expect the Raps to hang around for four quarters.
The Thunder are going through some growing pains after dealing James Harden to Houston just prior to the start of the season. They own an identical 1-2 SU record to that of the Raptors, with their lone victory coming against a Blazers team that has been equally as inconsistent in the early going.
We've seen Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook struggle (by their standards) through the first three games - perhaps feeling a little added pressure following Harden's departure.
Of course, there's also the fact that the Thunder are no longer the hunters, but rather the hunted after winning the Western Conference crown last spring.
The Raptors would love nothing more than to pick up a statement victory on this quick two-game road trip, and while they may not be able to get it in outright fashion on Tuesday, I do believe a moral victory will be in order as they hang with one of the league's best. Take Toronto (5*).
