The Nets come into this one fresh off a loss to the Hornets but at 13-11 are in a pretty decent spot. The problem going on with the Nets right now is a complex one as they genuinely seem to be playing better without their highest paid player. Kyrie, one of the most talented players in the league overall, somehow seems to make every team he plays on worse. Dinwiddie is playing at a near All-Star level and honestly should be making the Nets question why they gave Irving all that money.

The Raptors come into this one fresh off a loss to the Clippers and at 16-8 are taking something of a step back. Toronto has dropped four of their last five overall and you think the fact that Kyle Lowry has been back for five games is a coincidence you are crazy. The dude is just a black hole of lack of production on both ends of the floor. Through five games he is averaging 38.2 minutes and 14.8 points and simply doesn't do anything to help this team get closer to wins.

Take the Nets +7.5 as they have won 5 of 6 on the road as I see them being able to keep things close against a reeling Raptors squad that doesn't know what to do right now.
