The Nets (+140) have some value as a home underdog, but they haven’t shown enough consistency to back them at these odds.<\/p>\n BET RAPTORS -3.5 (-110).<\/p>\n The Nets are coming off a 95-point effort against the Heat, and they have scored 103 or fewer in 4 of their last 10 games, ranking 26th in offensive rating. While it has covered well as of late, Brooklyn is 6-8 ATS at home this season.<\/p>\n The Raptors, who have a defense that ranks in the top half of the league, have covered in 2 straight away games and have gone 6-2 ATS in their last 8 road contests. Considering those trends, take RAPTORS -3.5 (-110).<\/p>\n BET UNDER 217.5 (-115).<\/p>\n Neither side likes to push the tempo. The Nets sit 27th and the Raptors 24th in pace. Brooklyn has gone 1-3 O\/U in its previous 4 games, while the Raptors have gone Under in 4 straight.<\/p>\n With Barrett out, the Raptors are missing a premier scoring weapon and have struggled offensively without him on the court. Back UNDER 217.5 (-115).<\/p>\n For more sports betting picks and tips, check out SportsbookWire.com<\/a> and BetFTW<\/a>.<\/p>\n Follow SportsbookWire on Twitter\/X<\/a> and like us on Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n Access more NBA coverage:<\/p>\n HoopsHype<\/a> | Celtics Wire<\/a> | Nets Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Rockets Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Sixers Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Thunder Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Warriors Wire<\/a>\u00a0| LeBron Wire<\/a> |\u00a0Rookie Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0List Wire<\/a><\/p>\n Our team of savvy editors independently handpicks all recommendations.
