Last-place Philadelphia 76ers paying off for punters

Phoenix have also done little to inspire confidence against the spread, covering in just 10 of their past 33 after going 7-3 ATS out of the gate.

The Suns are coming off a 98-95 victory at home to Atlanta on Saturday, winning outright as 10.5-point underdogs, and kick off their four-game road trip with eight ATS wins in their past 12 road contests, and are undefeated in their last two visits to Philadelphia, but winless SU in their last four visits as betting underdogs.

Washington Wizards @ Toronto Raptors (-8.5)

Toronto Raptors hit the hardwood at Air Canada Centre on Tuesday night as the hottest team in the NBA, riding an eight-game SU win streak into a clash with Washington Wizards as 8.5-point favourites.

The Raptors silenced critics, who suggested they have made their rapid climb up the Eastern Conference standings on the backs of weaker teams, by posting a 112-94 statement victory over LA Clippers on Sunday, easily covering as 2.5-point chalk.

Toronto are 7-1 ATS during their current hot streak, topping opponents by an average margin of 12.25 points, and are an impressive 11-2 SU in their past 13 at home.

The Wizards travel north of the border following a disappointing homestand in which they claimed just one SU win in four contests, dropping them to 10th place in the East, two games back of Indiana for the final playoff spot in the conference.

Washington has played well on the road, going 4-1 SU and undefeated ATS in their last five, claiming three outright wins as betting underdogs.

Tuesday’s matchup also marks the fourth meeting between these two clubs since the Wizards swept Toronto in their first-round playoff series last spring. But it is the Raptors who have held the upper hand this season, winning all three previous meetings, including a 97-88 win as 2-point road favourites earlier this month.

In other NBA betting action on Tuesday night, the Clippers visit the Pacers as 1.5-point favourites, and Milwaukee Bucks host Orlando Magic as 5.5-point chalk, while the Lakers take on Dallas Mavericks as 7.5-point home underdogs.
