PASS.
The Raptors are the better team and will easily win and cover here as -500 favorites, but a team favored this heavily is never worth the risk of betting on. Pass here and bet on the spread and/or total instead.
BET RAPTORS -10.5 (-110).
This Brooklyn Nets team is terrible, ranking in the bottom 2 in net rating while also being the worst rebounding team in the league and one of the 4 least efficient shooting teams in the NBA. For this matchup, this bad team will be missing its most electrifying in scorer in Thomas, leaving no chance for the Nets to cover here.
All 4 of the Nets most recent losses have come by at least 15 points.
BET UNDER (233.5).
Toronto has held its opponents to less than 105 points in each of its last 4 wins, so look for that defense to be the recipe for success here against a Brooklyn team with little offense. The Nets are already a bottom-5 offense when healthy, so with Thomas out that offense is even worse, giving the Under an even better chance at hitting here.
Also, the Under has hit in 4 of Toronto’s last 5 games.
