The Toronto Raptors are hot, coming into Portland as winners of 12 of their last 13. The Blazers are also playing their best basketball, coming off five consecutive wins. I expect to see a closely contested game in Portland tonight, and the total looks a little low for a meeting between two hot teams.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Previous History - The Blazers have scored an average of 109 points per game during their winning streak, while the Raptors have scored 100+ points in 10 of their last 11 overall. The of the last four meetings between these two teams have gone over the total.

2. Three Point Shooting - The Blazers are one of just four teams in the NBA averaging more than 10 made three-pointers per game, and they knocked down 11 in their last game, a home win over Milwaukee.

3. X-Factor - The over is 6-0 in Raptors last six road games versus a team with a winning home record.

Selection: This is a play on the Raptors@Blazers to go OVER the total (Free)
