The set-up: I've played on Toronto through each of the first two games of this series and while those two picks came up short, I think the stage is now set for the defending champs to make this second round series a "real" series with their best effort yet. Boston has done an incredibly good job of slowing down Toronto's shooters, while also doing just enough offensively to earn two straight victories. Nick Nurse is a hell of a coach though and I think he's going to make the necessary adjustments for Toronto to finally get back into the winners circle here.

The pick: Additionally note that TO is 7-3 ATS in its last ten after back-to-back SU/ATS losses in the playoffs. Boston is also just 4-6 ATS in its last ten after back-to-back SU/ATS victories. I'm banking on the defending champs delivering with their best performance yet.

The is a 10* GAME OF THE MONTH on the Toronto Raptors.
