The Brooklyn Nets will make the eighth stop on a season-high nine-game road trip when they visit the Toronto Raptors Tuesday night. Toronto had its franchise-record 12-game home winning streak come to an end in a 113-107 setback against the Rockets Sunday, and I think they'll be in for another tough match-up here against the Nets.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Brooklyn Coming Off A Loss - The Nets fell 132-118 at Minnesota Saturday night, but they have a tendency of rebounding from poor performances. They're a 6-0 ATS in their last six following a ATS loss and 8-0 ATS in their last eight games after allowing more than 125 points their last time out.

2. Overrated Favorites - The Raptors are 16-14 ATS home at Air Canada Centre this season, but they're only 2-5 ATS in their last seven when hosting a team with a losing road record. The Nets meanwhile are doing a great job covering as road dogs going 11-4 ATS in their last 15 road games against a team with a home winning % of greater than .600.

3. X-Factor - Brooklyn gave both center Brook Lopez and power forward Thaddeus Young the night off Saturday but the duo will be back in the starting line-up tonight.

Selection: This is a play on the Brooklyn Nets (10*)
