Front end of a back-to-back for both, although it doesn't appear anyone will get tonight off for rest. The Raptors will be missing one key player in injured forward OG Anunoby due to injury. He averages 14.6 points and 5.8 rebounds and would have surely helped guard Kevin Durant and James Harden here. The Nets have scored 120+ points in a franchise-record-tying four straight games and I'm not sure how Toronto can slow them. The Raptors are 2-5 in their past seven as underdogs.

The Nets are coming off an emotional bounce-back effort (shot 57 percent from the field) against the Clippers after having previously lost to the lowly Wizards. New Jersey is 0-4 ATS after covering the spread of late. The public is backing the Nets in a big way based on Toronto sweeping the Nets in the bubble last August. The Nets also have a big game Saturday against Philadelphia. I will take the points Friday with the more efficient defensive squad.
