The Toronto Raptors took a 129-111 beating at Denver on Wednesday, and that can't sit right with this talented Raptors side. "That was an embarrassing performance by all of us, from coaches to players," coach Dwane Casey told reporters in Denver. "One thing we said: You've got to come in here and compete and play hard, play a physical game, and we didn't do either one on either end of the floor."

I think the Jazz will pay the price as Toronto looks to bounce when it closes out a six-game road trip at Salt Lake City Friday night. Utah could be due for a clunker after reeling off three straight wins, including a dramatic come-from-behind 112-103 OT win against Portland its last time out.

Raptors are 8-0 ATS in the last eight meetings including 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings in Utah.

My free pick is on Toronto Raptors.
