Toronto at Portland

This is a long road trip for Toronto out to Portland for their fourth straight road game. The defense appears to be tiring out, giving up over 100 points in five of the last six. The Raptors are 1-6 ATS against a team with a winning percentage above .600 and will miss DeMar DeRozan this game. All of that is a concern against a talented and deep Blazers roster, a team that's on a 5-1 ATS run. Portland is tops in the NBA in rebounding, #6 in points scored and #3 in points allowed. The Blazers are 9-4-1 ATS in their last 14 home games. When these teams meet it's been a bad matchup for Toronto at 2-8 ATS in the last 10 meetings, including 1-5 ATS in Portland. The value here is with the home team to win the game, to take Portland to win straight-up.
