PHOENIX -4 over Toronto: The Raptors are 8-21-1 ATS in their last 30 road games vs. a team with a winning home record and 4-14-1 ATS in their last 19 games as a road underdog of 5.0-10.5, while the 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a SU loss of more than 10 points and 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a home favorite. Last night during the Lakers game, the Suns were already thinking iof the Raptors, as they sat thier starters for much of the 4th, in order to get ready for tonight's game. The Phoenix offense has taken off since the promotion of Gentry as they have averaged 124.7 ppg in their last 6 games. The Defense has suffered from the running game as they have allowed 116.5 ppg in their last 6 games. The Raptors do clome in having scored 114.5 ppg in their alst 2 games, but both games were at home vs NY and Milwaukee and now they are on the road where they have really struggled this year. The Raptors are 11-20 on the road this year and have been outscored by 5.4 ppg in those games, and it's getting worse as they are 1-4 in their last 5 games away from home and have been outscored by 11.4 ppg in those 5 games. Phoenix has certainly dominated the losing teams of late as they have outscored them by 23.8 ppg the last 4 vs them and the Raptors certainly fall into the losing team category and with thier recent troubles on the road I just don't see them keeping this game in the single digits. Phoenix by 15+ here.

ORLANDO -9.5 over Detroit: The Pistons are 1-9 ATS in their last 10 when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game and 6-20 ATS in their last 26 when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game, while the Magic are 39-12 ATS in their last 51 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game and 23-9-1 ATS in their last 33 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. How the mighty have fallem. The Pistons have been a fixture in the Eastern Conference Finals for years, but this year they will be hard pressed to make the playoffs at all. After starting they year at 23-12, this Pistons have now gone on to win just 5 of their last 22 games and they come in on an 8 game losing streak. For Detroit the biggest problem has been an offense that has averaged just 91 ppg in their last 5 games, including just 89.4 ppg during their current losing streak. Traveling to play the Magic is not a good thing when your haing scoring problems, as they have allowed just 91.6 ppg and 42.4% shooting at home. The Magic at home have been a good team, as they are 22-6 and have outscored their home opponents by 10.2 ppg. The Magic are scoring 102.4 ppg overall, but since the acguistion of Alston, this offense has taken off and put up 112.3 ppg in his 3 games. Detroit is pthetice right now and have been outscored by 9.2 ppg in their last 5 games, and going up against this defense I don't see anyway they will be able to score enough points to keep this one close.
POWER ANGLE For This Play--- ORLANDO is 24-4 ATS revenging a same season loss vs opponent over the last 2 seasons.
Philly/ NY KNicks over 213.5: The Over is 11-0 in Knicks last 11 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game, and 14-3 in their last 17 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game. The Sixers offense has not been that good this year, as they have averaged just 96.4 ppg overall and 95.1 ppg, but that same offense looks like the best in the league when they have faced the Knicks of late, as they have averaged 115.8 ppg in their last 4 meetings with NY. The Knicks defense is one of the worst in the league as they have allowed 107.9 ppg overall and 107.8 ppg at home, so seing Philly topping 110 points in this one would not be a shock. The Sixers defense has been tough this year, but they will be facing a very good Knick offense that has put up 108.7 ppg at home and 114.2 ppg in their last 5 overall. The last 8 Knick games have avaerged 223.5 ppg, while their home games have averaged 216.5 ppg. The last time these teams met there were 226 points scored and I can clearly see another game in the 220's here.

San Antonio/ Cleveland Under 178: The Under is 13-5 in Cavaliers last 18 games after scoring less than 75 points in their previous game, while the Under is 14-5 in Spurs last 19 games as an underdog and 8-1 in their last 9 vs. NBA Central. Both defense have been tough to crack lately as the Spurs have allowed just 76.5 ppg in their last 4 games, while those games averaging 169.8 ppg, while the Cleveland defense has allowed just 83.3 ppg in their last 3 games, with those games averaging just 172.3 ppg. The Cleveland offense is solid at 100.3 ppg overall, but on the road that number dips to 96.8 ppg. The Spurs score 98.8 ppg at home, but allow just 92.8 ppg on their home floor. Too much defense in this one to think it will go over the total. Take the LOW road here.
