Smart Game Analysis
Toronto Raptors has a 72% chance of winning the game
Despite playing on the second night of a back-to-back without RJ Barrett, the Raptors should handle a struggling Hornets team that has lost nine consecutive road games.
Key Analysis
- • Toronto is missing key scorer RJ Barrett due to a knee injury, while Charlotte is down rotation players Collin Sexton and Grant Williams.
- • Scottie Barnes has a massive advantage against a Hornets defense that allows opponents to shoot nearly 50% from the field.
- • Raptors rank 7th in defensive efficiency this season compared to the Hornets who rank near the bottom of the league.
- • Charlotte enters this matchup in poor form, having lost nine of their last 11 games and nine straight on the road.
- • Toronto leads the NBA in fast break points with 20.4 per game, a pace that will stress Charlotte's transition defense.
- • Charlotte must dominate the offensive glass again, as offensive rebounding was the deciding factor in their overtime win against Toronto earlier this season.
