San Antonio Spurs

Meanwhile, the San Antonio Spurs have won three of their last four games overall and they will be aiming for a third straight victory after blowing past the Suns in a 132-121 road win on Thursday.

As a team, the Spurs shot 52 percent from the field and 18 of 37 from the 3-point line as they jumped all over the Suns from the start, dominating the first quarter by 39-20, before they poured in another 36 points in the second quarter to push the lead out to 27 points.

Peter's Pick

The Raptors are still without Christian Koloko and Precious Achiuwa, while the Spurs will be missing Devin Vassell. The Raptors have opened as favorites here despite their recent lack of form, losing four in their last five overall, so I'm more interested in taking the Spurs as the home underdog in this spot. Vassell is a big loss for the Spurs, but they are playing the better basketball at the moment and they looked great in their win over the Suns on Thursday.

Peter’s Pick San Antonio +3.5
