Portland at Toronto

It certainly has not been a picnic for the Toronto Raptors trying to fill the void left behind when Chris Bosh opted to play in Miami. This was a .500 team at best with leadership with Bosh. It is now a poor team with no leadership without him. The results keep getting worse and as the losses mount, the motivation wanes. This team was once 8-11, but now just 3-19 in their last 22. When you look at them in those last 22 games the three wins have come over Cleveland, Sacramento and Minnesota, who are a combined 33-121 on the season. So now they face a team with a winning record, so asking them to win here appears very unrealistic. I’m taking Portland on the moneyline.
