Hard to go against bk the way they've been playing but there still doesn't appear to be much of a home court at the Barclays centre.
Potentially no Gerald Wallace is big. He's their motor/energy guy. There were a number of games he was the only net playing hard. He's also a loss at the defensive end.
Torontos struggles on the road early came mostly from lack of confidence, something this recent stretch of home games (and wins) has gone a long way to correct. Toronto has a history of playing Brooklyn close. The Toronto front court of Ed Davis and Amir Johnson have been fantastic latelyand should attach up well vs the Brooklyn front court. Brooklyn has an advantage talent wise at pg and sg, but Toronto counters with better depth at those positions. Calderon has really come on lately, and Lowry if rolling is a great spark for the raptors while derozan and Terrence Ross should do a good job matching up with Joe Johnson.
A divisional game between teams very familiar with one another. I just think its too many points. Unless Johnson or Williams goes off, Toronto covers with a chance to win.

Denver is 23-0SU at home when scoring 100+ which they will do tonight. Portland isn't a great road team and have zero depth. Denver def wins SU. It's a question of whether they cover. I say yes.
Los Angeles Lakers -6
Lakers continue to struggle but at least they've been playing hard lately. They know they have to start stringing together wins real soon to have a shot at playoffs.

Over is 13-6 last 19 LAC games vs western conference
Over is 10-4 last 14 Hou games
Regardless if cp3 pays I like the over. Bledsoe looked good last night and pushed the tempo well. Hopefully Houston returning home gets them back to their high scoring ways. Houston likes to run at home but they also give up alot of points. I team has scored at least 120 points in 5 of the last 6 Houston home games.

^no more so then they have been last few weeks or so. Injuries if anything have helped Toronto. Im a big fan of valanciunis. He playw with alot of hustle and apparently puts in alot of effort away from the games as well hes just not there yet to be a starter.
With bargnani and Val out they've been able to get more minutes from Ed Davis and Amir Johnson who have been fantastic. Even Quincy acy off the bench has played with a lot of energy. The injuries changed them from a defensively inefficient euro combo to a strong rebounding high hustle front court which IMO has helped the team a lot. Gerald Wallace if he doesn't play would be the biggest injury.

Thought Calderon, Johnson, and Lowry listed as DTD..
I've only seen Calderon and Johnson as probable. They both came back and played vs Milwaukee on Sunday and seemed fine.
On Lowry it's not an injury thing, just a personal issue that made him miss Mondays practice.
Jan 14 Lowry (personal) missed Monday's practice.
Recommendation: Lowry was away from the team to attend a funeral, but he'll presumably be back in time to join the team for its game against Brooklyn on Tuesday. Lowry's offensive numbers have been disappointing of late, as he's been held under double-digit scoring in each of the last three games, and was shut out entirely against the Bucks on Sunday.
