The Charlotte Hornets have had some weird results these last few days, with the bizarre Cavs loss and the complete collapse against the Heat. Need to see the Hornets get it together. The Toronto Raptors continue to quietly pile up the wins, and they’re winning by an average of 6.4 points during this winning streak. The Raptors are in better form. I have to side with the road team here.
