The set-up: So far the first five games of this series have fallen "under" the posted number. Toronto put up some big points vs. the Nets in their previous first round series sweep, including a 150 point game. Of course, the Celtics are much better defensively than the porous Nets, but Toronto does have offensive firepower and with its back against the wall, I think that's the plan that Nick Nurse will have drawn up for the defending champs as they look to avoid elimination. This is the lowest total so far in this series and I think the total will blast past the number as it comes down the stretch.

The pick: Furthermore note that Toronto has seen the total go "over" the number in seven of its last 12 after scoring 90 points or less in a loss in its previous outing. This number is a tad low.

The is a 10* TOTAL DESTRUCTION on the OVER Raptors/Celtics.
