Atlanta at Toronto

The Atlanta Hawks took a step up a year ago and made the playoffs. They have now elevated off that season to a 15-6 mark through 21 games this year. This team is a real player in the Eastern Conference and already own road wins at Dallas, Portland and Boston. The Raptors play no defense and their last three here vs. winning teams as a home dog, they haven't come close and I don't expect them to tonight either. The Hawks are riding a 22-10-1 ATS mark as a favorite which improves to 8-2 as a favorite of 4.5 or less. The Raptors’ home-dog report card is amongst the worst in the league at 6-19-1 ATS in their last 26. This is a dog with no bite, Atlanta gets this one.
