Chip's NBA Vegas Hotline Winner (Raptors/Nuggets)
(NBA) Toronto vs. Denver,
Point Spread: 2.00 | -103.00 Toronto (Away)
Result: Win
Toronto at Denver 9:00 ET
Raptors (+) over Nuggets- When we see that the Nuggets have won their last nine games in Denver it was hard to understand why the line is so short against a visitor that has not won in Denver since 2003. Looking deeper into the series history I find that Denver is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings when playing as hosts and are 10-3 ATS over the Raptors in the last 13 meetings overall. But, there is one trend that trumps everything I've said so far. Get this, the Nuggets are 1-11 ATS in their last 12 Friday games while the Raptors are 6-0 ATS in their last six Friday games. But, hey, I had to come with something. Looking at it straight-up both Ty Lawson and Nate Robinson will be out for Denver and DeMar DeRozan will return for the Raptors. Take TORONTO!
