55 to win 50 --- Spurs Under 196.5 55 to win 50 --- New Orleans +10
San Antonio should lock the Raptors down and early morning shooting is always tough. I think New Orleans has enough to hang in there with the Nuggets....
Good Luck, DJ

I'm on the Raptors in this game. Toronto is a different team with Lowry at the point. If you look at the 6 full games he's played in this season, Raptors have been in every game with largest loss coming at Philadelphia by 8 (and Sixers pulled away in last minute). You look at the 4 times San Antonio has played very good PGs this season, the Spurs are only 1-3 (two losses to Clips (Paul), OT win vs Thunder (Westbrook), and loss to Knicks (Felton)). Plus, this is the start of 5 games in 7 days for Spurs, so Pop will be managing minutes closely. 6 1/2 is too many in this spot, and I actually wouldn't be surprised to see Toronto win outright.

Ummm, Rondo isn't a good point guard?
Let's go Darwin

Regardless of who's the better team. Toronto goes hard on a Sunday afternoon and are really fluky. But then I was surprised to see them let Orlando almost claw their way back to victory last week. This team has no grit and willingness to close games, with the exception of Lowry.

And these other pg's they lost to are also some of the best teams in the league and the Raptors are not even close to that.
Just trying to add to the discussion here. One of the main points here is that those PGs are some of the best in the league. Lowry, while under the radar, is in the same league as those guys. Those PGs make those teams go, and those teams would be much worse without those PGs. On the other hand, there are teams like the Heat and the Lakers where the PG isn't a main focal point and it doesn't really matter (to a certain extent) who's at that slot.
