Nets vs Raptors Prediction
Neither the Nets nor Raptors have anything to play for and shouldn’t even be trying to win at this stage of the season. However, it’s the Raptors that have played with more competitive spirit and have had more success lately. The Raptors are also 46-31-1 ATS on the season, making them a top-three cover team in the NBA. The Raptors have also beat the Nets twice under the 2025 calendar, and those wins came by a combined 47 points. Not the sexiest matchup in the world, but the Raptors should win given how they continue to play hard.
