The Toronto Raptors have beaten the Charlotte Hornets twice this season. It is not impossible that the Canadians can do it again. The Hornets are in crisis at this moment, so there is not much faith in their success.
The Charlotte Hornets play some crazy basketball at home. They put a lot of focus on the attack. Borrego’s men have no problem scoring about 120 points. But they also miss a lot. We believe the 223.5-point mark will be broken.
The Hornets have managed to score more than 111.5 points in 3 of their last 4 games.
The Hornets went into the break with a three-game losing streak. Before the All-Star Game, James Borrego’s men lost to the Memphis Grizzlies (118-125), Minnesota Timberwolves (120-126) and Miami Heat (107-111). These defeats sent the Charlotte Hornets to tenth place in the Eastern Conference. The Hornets are in danger of losing their playoff spot.

The Hornets don’t have any big losses on the roster. All of their leaders are in place. But for some reason, Borrego’s men are performing much worse than they did at the beginning of the season.
Toronto Raptors:
Near the end of the regular season, the Toronto Raptors got their game under control. Nick Nurse’s side had a good run. The team from Canada won several important games. That allowed the Raptors to climb to seventh place in the Eastern Conference.

Before the break, the Toronto Raptors defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves (103-91) on the road. Before that, however, the Raptors lost to the New Orleans Pelicans (90-120) and Denver Nuggets (109-110). Nick Nurse’s men sometimes lack stability.
