Charlotte Hornets vs Toronto Raptors Prediction
I don’t think anybody is excited to lay this many points with the Charlotte Hornets. In fact, this will be just the fifth time since April 2022 that the Hornets are favorites of five or more points. It just speaks volumes about the Raptors play and their injury situation. The Raptors are down several rotation players, and it’s just hard to compete in today’s league with so many missing bodies. Yes, even a team like the Hornets should take advantage of it. Give me the Hornets.
