Pointspreads' Daily Betting Notes: Thursday, Feb. 18th
Stat of the Day: After a slow start, the Raptors are heating up. Toronto won/covered six of its last nine games and are 7-3 ATS in last ten road games, including an outright win as a dog in Milwaukee on Tuesday night.
Thursday is a busy night on the ice for both Americans and Canadians, especially those willing to toss down some coin on a bet or two. The NBA won't be quite as busy, though the Toronto-Tampa Raptors take the court for a game in Milwaukee.
So, while nine games are scheduled for this evening in the NHL, only three games are scheduled in the NBA.
