Charlotte Hornets vs Toronto Raptors: prediction for the NBA match
In their recent history, the teams have met 45 times: Charlotte has only secured 16 victories, while Toronto has been victorious 29 times. It's worth noting that the last four out of five encounters ended in favor of the Canadian club.
Charlotte Hornets
Heading into the match against “Toronto,” the “Hornets” are not in the best playing form, having endured a 9-game losing streak. In their recent matches, the team hasn’t stood out in any particular way. “Charlotte” suffered defeats against the “Lakers” (118:124) and the “Pacers” (99:115). In the confrontation with the Canadians, the “Hornets” will focus on the performance of Miles Bridges. Currently, he is showcasing the most productive game, with other players unable to boast similar performances.
Toronto Raptors
It seems that “Toronto” has set its sights on the next season. The management of the “Raptors” let go of key players, with Siakam and Anunoby moving to other teams. It appears that they are placing their bets on Scottie Barnes, attempting to build a new team around him. The recent matches for the Canadians cannot be described as successful. They failed to secure a single victory, losing to “Oklahoma” (127:135) and “New Orleans” (100:138). As we can see, the “Raptors” were unable to offer much resistance.
Prediction
Bookmakers consider "Toronto" a significant favorite. We disagree with them. There is no noticeable advantage for the Canadians, especially considering they will be playing away. The "Hornets" should put up resistance to their opponent, leveraging the home-court factor. Our prediction is "Charlotte" with a handicap of (+7.5) points at odds of 1.83. Lately, both teams haven't been in their best form. It's unlikely that they will deliver a spectacular performance in this head-to-head encounter. Prediction: Total points under 228.5.
