Minnesota Timberwolves @ Toronto Raptors -9 -110
Air Canada Centre, Toronto, Canada
December 8, 2016, 4:00PM PST
We are backing the home favorites to cover this evening when the Wolves visit the Raptors. Toronto is playing well of late, having won six of their last eight outright, and amassing a 7-1 ATS record recently. In fact, the a seven game Raptor cover streak was just snapped versus Cleveland Monday evening. Sustaining a loss to the best team in the East is certainly forgivable, even for the conference's second best team. Look for Toronto to get back on the right foot this evening, facing a young Timberwolves squad still struggling to make sense of it all.
In spite of the potential that Anthony Wiggins and Carl Anthony Towns embody, Minnesota is a meager 6-15 straight up and versus the number so far this year. Further, the Wolves are 6-2 absolutely and ATS in their last eight contests. The Timberwolves are also 3-8 ATS as the away team, 2-9 from the position of underdog and 0-1 when receiving nine points or better. Conversely, Toronto is 7-4-1 ATS this season at Air Canada Centre, 7-3 when favored at home and 3-0 laying nine points or more.
Happy betting!!
