Is DeRozen Out? If so he could not move the line 2.5 points could he?

It will not post the teams but I promise you one thing it is at -1/2 in Boston.  They must know something.

Demar is most likely out.  It is highly unlikely the books value him that high to be the reason for the line move.

My guess is everyone on the west coast waking up and watching Sportscenter remembering D-Wades meltdown the other night.

PrimeTimeSports has it at -1/2 . I tried to cut and past but is will not work. I also tried to take a screen shot but that would not wok as well.  I was hoping someone might know more as to why.  I can see that is -3 at almost every book except for mine.  I would just wait on putting anything down on this game if you a leaning TOR.

I'm also relatively confident you're looking at 1st Quarter and just haven't noticed that yet.

I agree 100% DeMar is not going to move that line 2.5 points. There has to be more to it.  Even half of the west coast is on MIA it still wouldn't flex 2.5.  Maybe it is a comp glitch and I should hop on it!

Check your book's FAQs.  "Glitches", more likely known as "obvious errors",  will almost always result in cancelled wagers.  In other words, your book is the only one the world that is supposedly offering Toronto -.5 for the game and that'll likely be corrected well before tip-off and your wager will be cancelled.  I'm not saying you don't know your shit, don't take it the wrong way, what I'm saying is I can almost guarantee this is a result of one of two things:

Book made an error and it will be corrected with your wager cancelled.

You made an error and are looking at 1st quarter lines which in my book shows Toronto -.5

I can guarantee one thing, I am not looking that the 1st Q line or the Half Time Line.  A matter of fact with my book the 1 Q lines do not come out until a few hours before tip off.  I guess we can chalk it up as a computer glitch and see what happens.

Well if it's not the 1q line and it's the whole game, I'd look into a new book. That's just me though

Why is that? I know I would love my book to F up everyday. You wouldn't want to capitalize on a bad line?
