Nets vs Raptors prediction
The Nets pick and choose when they want to show up, so it wouldn’t be surprising to see them lose this game outright. With that said, the Nets are still playing NBA caliber players and have been able to grab a win here and there. The Raptors have thrown in the towel on the season as the losses are getting out of control, and they’ve failed to cover 7 of their last 10 games. The Raptors also aren’t playing Quickley, Barrett and Barnes. There’s a tank rolling through Toronto over these next three weeks. I’ll lay the points with the Nets if forced to pick, but this isn’t a game I’m touching personally.
