Raptors vs Nets Prediction

The Raptors are playing good ball and should play to win here as well, as they could finish anywhere from the fifth seed to the eighth seed. The Nets have tanked since opening day. It explains the massive number. However, this is another inflated number just because of the stakes.

Since November 23, the Raptors are 2-5 ATS as a double-digit favorite. The Nets did beat the Raptors back in December as an underdog, and the underdog is 5-3 ATS in the last 8 meetings between these teams overall. I’m just not laying out these huge numbers just because. It’s Nets or pass for me.
