Raptors vs Hornets Predictions

The Raptors vs Hornets face off in an eastern conference matchup that is sure to bring heaps of fireworks. There is a ton of hype surrounding both the Raptors and Hornets and we are here to bring you top of the line betting picks and predictions for tonight’s game.

These teams both have hopes to make the playoffs and every game is a crucial one. The eastern conference is as competitive as it has been in years and it’ll be tough for either of these squads to make the cut. Let’s dive right into the best NBA picks and predictions for the Raptors vs Hornets game. 

Why bet the Hornets:

✅ The Toronto Raptors will struggle with the Hornets diverse guard attack. While the Raptors have a solid all-around defense, they won’t be able to slow down three guards that can put up 25+ points on any given night. LaMelo Ball is also a big mismatch for this team as they almost have to put Kyle Lowry on him. I like the Hornets to get out to a fast start and for them to hold onto the lead for good.

✅ The Toronto Raptors are often slow offensively and there is no time with the Hornets constantly pushing the pace. When it comes to efficiency, the Hornets are just far better than the Raptors. They rank better from three and average three more assists per game. This isn’t the same Raptors team we’ve become accustomed to and the Raptors are getting better every game.

✅ If you’re looking for a lean on the total, I would certainly lean the under. I just don’t trust the Raptors to put up 110+ points and it would be necessary for the over to hit. I would much rather bet the spread, though lean the under if you force me to pick. This is going to be a competitive game, but I like the Hornets to pull away in the second half.

✅ The Toronto Raptors are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games playing on 1 days rest.

✅ The Charlotte Hornets are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up win.

Raptors vs Hornets Over/Under Betting

Betting the Raptors vs Hornets over/under prediction comes down to many factors and we are here to do the hard work so you don’t have to. Both of these teams tend to play at a slower pace, both ranking in the bottom half of the league. With that being said, sportsbooks are going to take that into consideration and this won’t be a very high number. We are here to read between the lines and bring you top of the line over/under predictions for the Hornets vs Raptors matchup.

Raptors vs Hornets Moneyline Predictions

Betting the Raptors vs Hornets moneyline comes down to which team you think will win the game. A sportsbook will penalize you to bet in the favorite while they will reward you to bet on an underdog. For example, let’s say the Raptors are -210 favorites here. That means you have to lay $210 to collect $100 on a Raptors victory. If the Hornets win at +210, you would collect $210 on top of your original $100 investment. 

Betting the moneyline in the NBA might not be the most popular bet. That’s because spreads are sometimes high and the moneylines in turn either expensive or desperate. On a game like the Hornets and Raptors, the only real value would be on the underdog. We are here to bring you top of the line Raptors vs Hornets moneyline predictions just above.

Odds in the NBA are ever-changing as there is constantly news coming out throughout the day. Make sure you keep your head on a swivel as there is constantly late-breaking news just minutes before games start. This can drastically affect the odds and there is a large edge to be had if you pay attention. It’s certainly a tough job, but it can pay off as sometimes you will be faster than a sportsbook in reacting to news. That can mean a goldmine and that’s what USsportsbonus is here for – to do the tough work so you don’t have to. 

The US currently doesn’t offer any sportsbooks that you can stream NBA games through. That could always change, so make sure to keep an eye out as we will be the ones to let you know. Currently, there are a few other ways to stream online and they all have to do with a paid streaming service.
