"The Coach's" NBA Total SURE SHOT
(NBA) Toronto vs. Brooklyn,
Total: 207.00 | -102.00 Over
Result: Loss
The Toronto Raptors and the Brooklyn Nets will meet at the Barclays Center tonight, and this is a game with massive playoff implications. The Nets are currently enjoying their longest win streak of the season, but there's little room for error with the Celtics, Hornets and Heat .. hot on their heels.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Home Cookin' - The Nets have won five straight, and three of those wins have come at home. They have held the opposition under 100 points in four of those five games, and have seen the total go under in four of their last five versus opponents from the Atlantic Division.

2. Injuries - Kyle Lowry has missed the last four games with a back injury, and he's not expected to return tonight. He's the Raptors second leading scorer averaging 17.9 points per game.

3. X-Factor - The under is 6-2 in Raptors last 8 vs. a team with a losing S.U. record.

Selection: This is a play on the Raptors@Nets to go UNDER the total (8*)
