Golden State is just 9-8-1 against the spread on the road this season, while Toronto is the 5th-best covering home team. I have faith in this Toronto team that has been finally healthy, to keep this one close at home, and maybe get away with the win. Take the Toronto Raptors. Nick’s Free Pick: Toronto Raptors +4.5
