The Toronto Raptors showed a lot of heart after losing Game 1 and falling behind by 18 points in Game 2, coming back to have a chance to win on a last-second shot. They should crack the win column at home tonight to bring this series to 2-1.

The Raptors have been a much better team at home this season anyway, as they average 102.1 points per game north of the border while allowing just 94.8 points. That average winning margin of +7.3 would be more than enough to cover this modest spread. Also, the Raptors won handily the last time Orlando came to visit them 127-110, also as four-point favorites like they are tonight. In fact, the Raptors are 7-1 against the spread in the last eight meetings with the Magic in Toronto, and 9-3 ATS in the last 12 meetings overall.

Granted, Orlando is one of the better road teams in the league, and they do average 104.4 points away from home. However, they do not play much defense on the road allowing 99.8 points per, and as mentioned they have not had as much success in Toronto as they have had in their other NBA travels. Also, it would be only natural for the Magic to relax here with a 2-0 series lead, especially since they are the higher seed.

Thus, look for Toronto to build on that strong second half in Orlando in Game 2 and come out of here with a handy win tonight.
