The Edge

Brooklyn's roster decimation combined with Toronto's massive efficiency and talent advantage makes the Raptors the correct side, though the historically large spread introduces cover risk even in a likely blowout.

Key Factors

Brooklyn missing 5 players (Claxton, Clowney, Mann, Minott, Demin) — two-starter-level depletion warrants full line re-evaluation per methodology
Toronto's point differential edge is +12.2 (TOR +2.5 vs BKN -9.7) — the single cleanest team-quality signal available
Shooting gap is significant: Toronto FG% 48.0% (#9) vs Brooklyn 44.3% (#30), with Brooklyn ranked dead last in the league
Brooklyn road record is 8-32 SU and ATS as road underdog is 31-43 (.419), making them a clear fade candidate in this role
