I love the scenario for the Raptors today. They are one of the hot teams in the league, but the bookies have classified them as underdog for today's game. And that's why I like the Raptors today and +1,5 points is a good juice for a classic situation of a false favorite.

Toronto is coming for this match with a feeling of revenge after losing at 01/12/07 at Washington by 101-97, in a game that Toronto played without Chris Bosh. The team has won 7 of their last 10 games, including a big win at Boston by 114-112 in a game almost perfect for them. When I researched for some news about Toronto, I've seen that Toronto's staff are angry for the fact that nobody talks about them and nobody praises as much as they deserve. Just look at Sam Mitchell's interview:

“I look at the news. I look at Inside the NBA. I look at all these (NBA) programs,” said the Raptors coach, “and no one ever mentions our name. It’s like there’s one, two, three, four and then six, seven, eight, nine, 10, all the way down. People forget we’re the fifth team,” said the coach. “People forget we beat Boston in Boston, and they beat us in overtime at home… people forget we beat San Antonio in San Antonio. People forget we beat New Orleans.”

They are looking for another statement win and this game is exactly what they need right now. In seven days, they have just played twice at 23 and 25 and they had lots of time to prepare for this game. They are 5-2 ATS after having more than two days to rest and they are 3-0 ATS when they are away dogs in this situation. Today they will go for this game with a lot of intensity. I have no doubts about it.

"This is like the playoffs,'' Nesterovic said.

"We might be playing these guys again and we have to make a statement."

The Wizards have been playing well, but they are starting to struggle recently. The signs are evident. The team was slaughtered by the Cavs by 85-121, then they defeated Memphis by 104-93, but the team was up 30-9 after the first quarter and they ended up allowing Memphis to cameback and to fight for the win. Finally in the last game at Milwaukee, they lost by 105-102, in a game where they were down by 11 with less than 2 minutes to go. In this game, Michael Redd didn't play and the last time this had happened the Wizards won 101-77.

Chris Bosh is healthy again and he will make the Wizards struggle tonight. With the Wizards trying to double team him, the shooters from Toronto will have more space and they are hotter than never! 15-21 3pts against Boston and 8-15 3pts against the Bucks. Take Toronto plus the points tonight.
