[FONT="]TORONTO +5[/FONT]
[FONT="]ANALYSIS: Toronto will be full strength for the first time in weeks off COVID protocols, with OG Anunoby the last to return Friday -- remember, the Raptors play home games in Tampa. I thought they had a reasonable shot of the outright upset as it was simply because everyone is back and Utah is playing its fourth road game in six nights, but now I'm definitely taking the points with Jazz center Rudy Gobert, arguably the most disruptive defender in the NBA, potentially out due to back spasms. He's listed as questionable -- but being as this is the second of a B2B and he needed treatment Thursday, I think he rests.[/FONT]

[FONT="]INDIANA @ MIAMI | 03/19 | 8:00 PM EDT[/FONT]
[FONT="]MIAMI -175[/FONT]
[FONT="]ANALYSIS: Indiana burned me Wednesday vs. short-handed Brooklyn, and the Pacers really should be much better than they are but have dropped nine of 11. Miami was upset Wednesday in Memphis, but there's no shame in that and the Heat have been playing very well of late. Jimmy Butler was listed as questionable vs. the Grizzlies but played and isn't on the injury report here, so I feel comfortable that Miami should win. Indiana could be without key reserve Jeremy Lamb (10.9 ppg) again.[/FONT]

[FONT="]SAN ANTONIO @ CLEVELAND | 03/19 | 7:30 PM EDT[/FONT]
[FONT="]SAN ANTONIO -165[/FONT]
[FONT="]ANALYSIS: San Antonio will get leading scorer DeMar DeRozan back from personal leave, while Cleveland is without Kevin Love and Taurean Prince. That should be enough for the Spurs to win, but I don't trust them at -4. My main concern is San Antonio, which has been much better on the road than at home, looking ahead to Saturday's trip to Milwaukee.[/FONT]
