Final Say

The focus will be on the total here. The over is 6-1 in the Raptors last seven games on the road, while it has hit in six-straight for them whenever they face a team with a winning home record. In their last 10 meetings they have combined to average 224 points per game. The Raptors actually play some decent offense on the road averaging 107 points per game, while they just played last night so the defensive side could be a little lax tonight. The Nets have gotten their offense rolling shooting 48% in their last two games, while average 115 points per game during that span. Rolling with this total to creep over the point threshold tonight.

Pick: Over 218 Total Points
