Betting on the Charlotte Hornets
- Season record: 11-31
The Hornets have been among the most disappointing teams of the season because, despite their last two seasons of interesting work, this year their performance has been less than interesting. They head into this game in the Eastern Conference’s bottom two spots, defeating the Pistons by just two victories.
The Charlotte side has looked very poor across the board so far, given that it is the third worst team in the league in terms of defense with an average of 118.1 points allowed per game, and they are also one of the poorest on offense with an average of just 111.9 points scored per game, in addition to a 44.6% shooting percentage from the field, the second worst in the NBA.
Betting on the Toronto Raptors
- Season record: 18-23
The Raptors, who have also had a year that fell far short of expectations, are currently outside the play-in spots. However, being only 1.5 games ahead of these spots, they know they still can’t let their guard down and must keep working to improve their performance. They will now attempt to regain their strength at home, where they have gotten 12 of their 17 victories.
The Canadian team has been very solid on defense this campaign, averaging 111.2 points allowed per game, the ninth-best figure in the league; however, its offense has left a lot to be desired, given that they are the eighth worst in this aspect, with an average of only 111.9 points scored per game and a 44.7% shooting percentage from the field..
JefeBet Prediction
The Hornets’ offensive shortcomings are more than evident, especially away from home, so they will surely have a difficult night against a home defense that usually does things very well.
Still, while the Hornets are also a very weak team defensively, it would be very difficult for the Raptors to take advantage of those problems, as they struggle to be productive on offense no matter who their opponent is: even at home, they average just 112.6 points scored per game..
With both teams being weak offensively and facing each other for the second consecutive time, we think we will have a very close game, in which there will be many mistakes and defenses will be the main protagonists, leaving a scoreboard with few points in total.
Prediction: Under.
