2/8 Toronto with Derozen vs MN no zach

Question

I don&#x27;t know why the toronto line is so low.  opened at -4 with heavy &#xD;&#xA;money on toronto and early line is a reverse to -3 now.  Maybe &#xD;&#xA;discount?  Toronto gets derozen back as he continues to be Toronto&#x27;s bread and butter. mn lost zack and yet, the line is so low?  Is&#xD;&#xA; it because they were in competition with miami and still lost?  Maybe &#xD;&#xA;it is the home factor when they were on a roll and beat okc and houston &#xD;&#xA;at home but with zach though right?  Toronto beats mn by 14 in toronto back in dec 8mn is 1-8 ATS last 9 games.  mn is 1-5 ats last 6 at homemn is 0-4 straight up their last 4Mn 13-15 ATS at home Mn 0-4 ATS last 4 after an ATS losstoronto is still steaming.  Won their last 2 and covering them both.  To 16-10 ATS away 21-7-1 ATS last 29 Wednesday gamesToronto is chasing Boston for the 2nd seed so a needed win here is the motivation.  Boo to this here.  Toronto have lost 5 out of their last 6 road games however, to make it up, they are 9-2 ATS in MN.I like how a good team goes on a funk which then drags the line low which then is value for us bettors.  Toronto -3 is worth a play for me and I need someone to disagree with me.

I don&#x27;t see DeRozan in the lineups..

nfl_brosuf · Answer

I saw him playing on monday against the clips and scored 30 something freakest points.  Maybe the low line and reverse line movement indicates that derozan may just sit out and rest his injury against a poor team like mn.  I hope he plays though.  I mean isn&#x27;t mn suppose to be a dangerous and upsetting team while playing at home?  Derozan, You are going to play for my money.

nfl_brosuf · Answer

Well espn hinting that he is playing.

"Spin: After missing the last four games with an ankle injury, DeRozan returned to action with no minutes restriction, playing the most on the team along with Kyle Lowry. His numbers Monday night resemble his season averages to this point, and his play looks as though DeRozan never skipped a beat. He'll look to keep things going Wednesday against the Timberwolves."

Ok, thnx for the information. He&#x27;s "inactive" at rotowire.com so I&#x27;ll just wait till confirmed.If he&#x27;s playing we can bet Toronto surely.

Sareesataka · Answer

I tend to agree. Leaning Raptors -3.5.

nfl_brosuf · Answer

Due theory is a fallacy in gambling but these are pro ballers.  Any given day.  Just ask gsw vs sac kings on overtime.  Lol. Go Toronto raptors

Derozan should be playing I believe.. Im following suite

Synk · Answer

Looked at this game earlier, as I thought the line seemed rather low..

I was going to take the Raptors, but a couple of things has made me pause..

1. Andrew Wiggins always has a big game against the Raptors. Toronto is his hometown.

2. Tom Thibodeau had a awesome record against the Raptors as Bulls coach, swept them 2 seasons in a row (2014/15 and 2015/16).

Now I know they lost by 14 earlier in the season, but the Timberwolves were well in the game until the 4th quarter, closing out games is something that plagued them early on.

They have since improved a lot, and were unlucky not to get the W against Miami the other night.

The line was -9.5 in Toronto, now its -3.5.. with Zach LaVine out, and DeRozan back?

I personally think the play is Timberwolves +3.5

PeachesLimon · Answer

I think people are overthinking this game.

Last time these two teams played Lavine had 29 points. And the Raptors still won pretty convincingly.

Derozan is one of the hottest players in the game right now. Lowry is playing pretty well off of Derozan too.

I played Toronto because I think they are the more talented team, and this injury to Lavine will probably force the T'Wolves to pick in the lottery once again.

T'Wolves have a lot of great young players even w/out Lavine, but Lavine is the heart and soul of that team. I truly believe that.

If line drops to 3 im grabbing raptors

nfl_brosuf · Answer

Toronto still has towns n wiggings and do you know why they are not as great? They play no defense. This is their setfall. If mn plays dee, they will and contest against the raptors. If derozan plays like vince Carter with 30+ points per game, forget about it. Toronto is no miami but without derozan, miami and their hot hands can beat such toronto team. We all see what a raptors team without derozan but have we seen what an mn team without zach? Look at who replaces zach.

Low line smells like a trap but i trust my man derozan who eats and sleep at the foul line. An 80ish percent foul shooter so who wants to foul out in mn? Ah ha ha ha. 3 more hours till game time.

Synk · Answer

Guess I wasn&#x27;t &#x27;over thinking&#x27; it after all.
