NBA Wagering - San Antonio Spurs (- 2) vs. Toronto Raptors (+ 2)
The Spurs played a spirited game on the road yesterday versus the Boston Celtics. The Celtics were just too much for them at the end of the game and the Spurs lost. I noticed that the Spurs appeared somewhat tired yesterday. Also, Jacque Vaughn is good at running the point, but he’s no Tony Parker. Not cool that the Spurs have to travel to Toronto to take on a well-rested Raptors team.

NBA Basketball Betting Tips!
The San Antonio Spurs are 4 and 10 against the spread in their last 14 games on the road.
The San Antonio Spurs are 6 and 14 against the spread in their last 20 overall games.
The Toronto Raptors are 4 and 0 against the spread in their last 4 games on a Monday night.
The Toronto Raptors are 7 and 1 against the spread in their last 8 games playing a team from the NBA Southwest Division.
I’m going to go with the Raptors here because they are at home and the Spurs are finishing up an extremely draining road trip. Raptors super-stud Chris Bosh is more than capable of guarding Tim Duncan. That means that the Spurs will have to rely on their only other scorers, Michael Finley and Manu Ginobili.
Again, the Spurs played well yesterday, but today is a new day. I really think that they gave up too much emotionally and physically versus the Boston Celtics in yesterday’s game. They should dominate the Raptors but the Raptors are good enough to take it to a tired Spurs team who is dying to get back to comfortable San Antonio.
Because of that I’m going with the Raptors to beat the spread.
The BetUS NBA Betting line is Toronto Raptors + 2 against the spread at home versus the San Antonio Spurs.
The Raptors are catching the Spurs at the perfect - - the end of a tough road trip off of a loss against a team that they fought hard against.
I expect the Spurs to take it easy tonight which means the Raptors get a chance to steal a game at home versus one of the NBA’s elite.
