Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Full-Time Result – Handicap (+2.5) for Hornets – 1.87.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Match Points Over 216.5 – 1.54.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Three – Raptors’ Points Over 110.5 – 1.53.
We assume that the Hornets have no choice but to take their chances and go forward. The Raptors are in remarkable form, so they have to respond with something, so we suggest looking at the total over.
The Raptors have scored more than 110.5 points in three of their last five games.
The Hornets are in a frankly long-running crisis. The team was close to the playoffs but has now fallen to ninth place, so the problems are more than they need to be. James Borrego is trying to turn things around, though, his charges just need a win to feel confident again.

In their last meeting, the Charlotte Hornets were weaker than Miami Heat (86-104). No matter how hard Terry Rozier tried, they couldn’t compete with one of the leaders in the East. This was the fourth defeat for the Hornets.
Toronto Raptors:
The Raptors are already practically on their way to the top six in the East. The Raptors are really unrecognizable right now, as they are bending the line and racking up one win after another.

The Toronto Raptors have now gone on a winning streak of five in a row, thereby improving their position in the standings nicely. The last ones to fall under Raptors were the Hawks (125-114). The Raptors are comfortable in their head-to-head games against the Hornets, but this season their opponent is performing much better, apart from the previous fixtures, so it seems that the visitors will face problems.
Safe Bets
In two of the last five head-to-head encounters, the game started with an accurate two-point shot. The odds for that outcome are 1.34.
