Orlando, Toronto and Boston were all in the 60% to 65% action range with their respective spreads Thursday evening.

The Magic line has gone from -7 to -9. 

The line on Toronto was coming down from -9.5 to -8.5 and now down to -7.5 at some books, and this is with the Raptors receiving around 87% of the public backing.

You gotta love that Sagarin indicates a line of Toronto -7 here.

Toronto has won the last eight in this series and the Lakers have stumbled of late. 

In fact the Lakers are 0-5 Against The Spread in the last 5 meetings.

Word to the wise, Toronto has been abysmal at covering this season.  They are just 29-39 Against The Spread compared to 48-20 Straight Up.  Not that LA is much better.

We are giving the Lakers a 55% chance of covering the spread here but can't bring ourselves to offer an official pick.

Denver was seeing the most lopsided action this day with 80% of the spread backing at -10 hosting Dallas.

2018-19 College Basketball Record: 10-9 (52.6%)

2018-19 NBA Record: 6-3 (66.6%)

2018 MLB Record: 45-35 (56.2%)

2018 NBA Record: 12-4-1 (75%)
