Betting on the Charlotte Hornets
- Regular Season Record: 11-30
If the mission is to try to make it to the postseason, the Charlotte Hornets will have to make an almost superhuman effort as they currently rank 14th in the Eastern Conference, have the third-worst record in the NBA, and are 8.5 games out of a playoff spot.
The Hornets pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the campaign last December 6 by beating the Milwaukee Bucks with a score of 138-109; however, the Indiana Pacers took care of bringing them down to earth in their last game by defeating them by a score of 116-111, which means they now have four losses in their last five games.
Charlotte’s problem has clearly been the offense, which is second to last in the league in shooting percentage from the field at a woeful 44.6%, while hitting just 32.5% of their three-pointers.
Betting on the Toronto Raptors
- Regular Season Record: 17-23
The Toronto Raptors, a team that in recent seasons has been accustomed to being neck and neck with the big boys, find themselves in trouble as they are currently 12th in the Eastern Conference with a 17-23 record and must start winning to close the gap between them and the playoff spots, which currently stands at 2.0.
The team will arrive with confidence after ending a streak of three consecutive losses after defeating the Portland Trail Blazers in this very scenario yesterday by 117-105. Scottie Barnes was the one who had a complete game of 22 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals, and 2 blocks.
In addition to that, the Raptors managed to finish a two-game series in which they failed to score more than 110 points, a common occurrence considering they are the fifth-lowest scoring team in the NBA at 111.2 points per game and have the third-worst shooting percentage from the field at 44.7%.
JefeBet Prediction
Neither of these two teams is generating confidence at the moment, although Toronto managed to get back on track with its latest win.
The Raptors have a lot of problems on offense and while the Hornets aren’t exactly a defensive juggernaut, they could certainly do well enough against this opponent.
The last game between the two franchises was won by the Hornets 125-93, and it would not be unusual to see another game with less than 220 points on the scoreboard.
Prediction: Under.
