Toronto Raptors vs Denver Nuggets Prediction

I’m not running to the window to back the Toronto Raptors given their injuries, but they’ve competed this season and are 6-1 ATS. The Denver Nuggets have had issues finishing games, they have no bench, and now they’re without one of their best players in Murray. The Nuggets are also 2-4 ATS. This line is steep, and it feels like oddsmakers are still believing the old Nuggets will return. Not buying it. Give me the Raptors and the points.
