Toronto at Charlotte

The Toronto Raptors imploded in the final stanza last night in Philly. After controlling the game for three periods, they just couldn't close the deal. The Raptors were out-scored 33-18 in the fourth to suffer a hard defeat. They should be able to take something away from that game, as they played well for 36 minutes - a level good enough to beat Charlotte. The Bobcats have won four of their last five, but that is a bit misleading as they have won in overtime in one game, and by 2 and 4 points in two others. Their fifth win on the season was by a single point. They could easily be a 1-8 team right now, and have no margin for error. The Raptors have been playing positive on no rest at 5-0 ATS in their last five, while Charlotte crumbles vs. losing teams at 1-7 ATS in their last eight. Play on Toronto in this one.
