NBA Betting Trends
Toronto
The Raptors are 5-2 against the spread in their last seven road games and 41-20 ATS in their last 61 division games.
Brooklyn
The Nets are 9-4 against the spread in their last 13 Wednesday games, but just 2-7 ATS in their last nine conference games.
Prediction:
The home team has won all three games this season in this series and Brooklyn has covered in two of the three. While Toronto is riding a 4-game win streak, the wins have come against the likes of the Bulls, Knicks and Magic. Brooklyn is playing better basketball than those teams, especially at home. That includes a 110-96 win at home over Boston last weekend. I am going to take my chances on the Nets as a slight home dog.
NBA Prediction: Brooklyn Nets +1
