*10* SURE SHOT on Toronto Raptors.

The Toronto Raptors and the Orlando Magic will play at London's 02 Arena on Thursday, in the 21st edition of NBA's Global Games. The Raptors are coming off three straight wins, all of those on the road. I like the Raptors as a small favorite here in London.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Previous History - The Raptors have won nine of the last 10 meetings in this series, and they've covered the spread in seven of those games. The Magic have failed to cover in six of their last seven overall.

2. Raptors Defense - Toronto has allowed an average of just 86 points over it's last three games, and the Raptors rank 4th in the NBA with an opponent's scoring average of 96.7 points.

3. X-Factor - The Magic have had no answer for DeMar DeRozan, the Raptors forward has scored a combined 52 points in his last two games versus Orlando.

Selection: This is a play on the Toronto Raptors (10*)
