Ok, don't get the total for this game, the last 5 have gone over vs these two teams, Toronto is gone over in their last 3 road games, and they've had 3 days rest and Washington has gone over 100 pts in their last 3 home games.
 
Kinda like Toronto here with the layoff but the Wiz have been playing so well at home this is gonna be a no bet for a side.
 
OVER 192.5

Excellent backroads,

saves me from having to say why. Washington/Toronto over the total, I will take three points off and make the over/under 189

Definitely leaning toward Toronto to cover +2.

They are shooting over 50% in the paint and at the arch.

Last played on Dec. 1 with out Chris Bosh and lost 97 to 101, thus missing Bosh's 19 points.

Well Bosh is in and Toronto Wins by 4+.

May go with the over too.

Don't think about it Bird...just roll with it.  All of the trends are pointing toward the over in this one.  Rest + Big players for both teams + above average teams = both teams at or above 100

Taking Toronto +2 in this one as I honestly feel as though the only reason Washington is favored in this one is that they are at home and they have one of the top ATS records in the NBA this year.  But like it was said up above, the Raptors have some good rest coming into this one and Bosh is back.

Toronto +2 and OVER

I'd be worried about playing the total and the side as well.
Line is at 195 total right now and if you think that this is going over comfortably then you would figure that the Wiz will get at least 100 pts.
The Wiz have only lost once ATS (SU too) at home this year after scoring 100 pts.  The Raps are the opposite...only winning once ATS (SU too) on the road when giving up 100 pts and that was the other day when they beat Boston.
 
Just a long winded way of saying to stick to either one or the other.  I had been leaning hard towards the Raps and might still do it but with some additional points.  I'll wait until later on to make up my mind on whether I play or just

FIrst game of a home and home between these two teams. Both teams playing well at the moment. Looking for Bosh to have a stand-out game tonight and being the difference.

Taking the Raptors  +2

OK night last night winning on Utah and Charlotte but losing the Dallas/Memphis game. CK - should have rode on your coatails on that one!

Good luck to everyone tonight.

Not only was the last game btw the two played without bosh, Bargnani went down with an injury in the game, plus it was earlier in the season when he was really playing like garbage for the minutes he did play (2-13).  Toronto has beat SA, NO and Bos all on the road this year and no one in the league is giving them any respect.  They are flying under the radar.  The team is poised and looking to make some statements.  They are all talking about start a big winning streak.  Just my two cents.  BOL everyone.
 
Also the right ups on the over are very enticing.

I like Washington. Toronto has been at home getting fat and lazy will come out slow. They have to be up at half to make it interesting because they fade on the road in the second. For the same reason the over worries me. no play GL

I wanted to 'take a Wiz', but now y'all have got me thinking twice on this one.  Guess I'll be laying off.  Oh well.  Enjoy the show.  eating popcorn

ok here goes...
F These teams are both shooting outrageous from 3pt land recently. Washington will probably come out and try to outpace the Dinosaurs early but they in turn will fight back. This should be Ali Vs Frazier..both teams score 100 tonight even if one blows the other out.
Over 193..TOR Over 95..WAS Over 96.5.. GL ALL

No Caron Butler tonight. Raptors bench gets it done, well enough to keep within four. Safe mark: Buying Toronto to +4.5.
