Pick: San Antonio Spurs (-3)
Odds: 1.90
Stake: 9/10
San Antonio, missing star forward Kawhi Leonard and point guard Tony Parker because of injuries doesn't seem Spurs having a lot of problems especially at PG spot, and it translated in good wins: versus Minnesota strong bench game, when at CHI seem that young core doing really good job on offense or defense, everybody plays. Mills with improved Murray in my opinion take care every task what Popovich gives, and in first two games that problem I think Popovich solved very well with Point guards how they want to distribute a basketball, and after Kawhi injury I don't really know what you could expect from Spurs, but I think Spurs showed that after losing Kawhi, it's not just everything about Kawhi. A lot of players step it up. And especially PF Aldridge who live up all expectations and started season very strong have 25-plus points and 10-plus rebounds in the first two games of a season, and that addition of Gay maded this team I think very deeped, in my opinion, and all players contributing. Don't forget that The Spurs lead the all-time series 31-14 and are 17-4 versus the Raptors at home.Last season Spurs have 3 game winning streak in series versus Toronto, and especially in recent years even with no injuries in roster for Raptors always was difficult to win at Spurs.And tonight they have to face very difficult task after big wins versus 76ers, Bulls. At Spurs have to face without Jonas, whom in all years was big part for Raptors in paint were a lot of rebounds he could collect, and keeped possesions alive for Raptors, and that's not all Raptors problems: in tonights game Derozen are also questionable, but TSN Canada report that after Saturday's game versus Chicago he left a court immediately. He'll get a full day off before the Raptors engage with the Spurs on Monday. So very doubtful that he will play, tonight I'dont really have some expectations that Lowry could carry the load offensively and put about 40 points. I going with Spurs victory.
