Raptors vs. Nuggets Prediction and Odds (Toronto To Keep It Close At Altitude)
The Toronto Raptors are coming into this game flying high. They've won two in a row and are still in control of the No. 7 seed in the Eastern Conference -- which means they would host the play-in game right now. Toronto is trying to make it through the home stretch without OG Anunoby and this would be a big win for them.
The Nuggets are hoping Nikola Jokic can do the same for them and take them to the No. 4 seed in the West. Who's agenda will be furthered tonight?
Here are the odds for the matchup via WynnBET.

Raptors vs. Nuggets Prediction and Pick
The Toronto Raptors are on a small winning streak and will bring that same energy tonight in Denver. Toronto is one of the best teams ATS as the road team (20-13-1), while the Nuggets are one of the worst home teams ATS (13-19).
For the record, I think Denver wins this game, but I don't think they will cover. Over the last five games, Toronto is top 5 in defensive rating, which should be good enough to at least slow down the Nuggets' offense -- which is top 10 in that same span.
Toronto's length should be something that give Denver some issues, especially if they force the ball out of Nikola Jokic's hand.
Denver is the better team and needs this win more, but I expect them to have to fight for it.
Lean: Raptors +6 (-110)
