*10* SURE SHOT on Toronto Raptors.

The Toronto Raptors are coming off back-to-back losses after starting the season by going 5-0. They are looking to get back on track at home tonight, and you have to like their chances with the New York Knicks in town. The Knicks just barely edged out the winless Lakers in a 99-95 win at home Sunday, but they'll struggled to compete with a Raptors team that once again looks like a contender.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Previous History - The Knicks are 3-7-1 ATS in their last 11 road games vs. a team with a winning home record, while Toronto has won both it's two home games so far this season by a combined 26 points.

2. Kyle Lowry - He's had plenty of success in previous games against New York, averaging 24.4 points and 52.6 percent from the floor in his last five meetings with the Knicks.

3. X-Factor - The home team is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings between these two teams, with the most recent meeting a 106-89 home win for the Raptors.
