Toronto Raptors vs Charlotte Hornets prediction

The Toronto Raptors aren’t a team I’m thrilled to back, especially in the favorite role on the road. However, the Hornets are in far worse shape, they’re 7-12 ATS on the year, and they’re still without their best player in LaMelo Ball. The Raptors have won and covered each of the last 4 meetings against the Hornets. If the Raptors can’t win this game, it’s probably going to be a long season and difficult to sneak into the playoffs. I’ll lay the reasonable number with Toronto.
