Toronto +6.5
Parker is out with a sprain ankle. This should hurt SA a little bit on the offensive end of the court. With SA 2 straight losses on the road and coming back home against a well improved Toronto team, they are going to need to step up their game. With the 2 bye days, SA will find a way to work around Parker's injury and try to get a win. Duncan, Ginoboli, and Jefferson will have to work extra hard and also pick up the slack from Parker's absent.
On the other hand, this should give Toronto some breathing room on defensive end and capitalize on offense. Turkoglu played horrible against Dallas, but he should do improve here. So expect Turkoglu to put up double digit points. Bosh and Bargnani has been surprisingly consistent so hopefully they continue to do so. With a bye day, Toronto will find a way to get a "W" before leaving Texas. IMO, I expect this game to be neck to neck all the way to the end.
