The Atlanta Hawks are playing their best ball of the season, but they’re in a letdown spot after beating the Suns, and they now have to travel. The Toronto Raptors are coming off an overtime game last night, but they don’t have to travel, which certainly does wonders for the legs. The Raptors are a team that’s coming to life, and they just beat the Hawks a few days ago on the road. Give me the Raptors in this toss up contest.
