NBA OFFICIAL PLAY

1ST Q - RAPTORS +4 (x1)

Toronto has won it's last 2 games beating Washington easily at home and last night edging out Oklahoma on the road by 2 as a 14.5pt dog. Their coach said straight after their win "I said to these guys that we have to carry this over to tomorrow,It's tough on a back-to-back against Denver, another team that's playing extremely well. They're sitting there waiting for us, so it's a challenge. We have to play with the same energy. We have to be good, if not better." This to me points out that he is doing his best to avoid a letdown after such a good win and will have his team focused an ready to take it to Denver tonight. The Nuggets are returning home after a 4 game road trip which ended badly with a heavy loss to Miami. They will be without point guard Felton and possibly Affalo here tonight. I do like to fade teams returning home from a trip 4 games or more as I feel it takes time to readjust. The Nuggets have not been great starters of late and I think Toronta carries confidence and energy in this one early on and keeps with Denver in the 1st.
