Season Series: First Meeting; The Raptors went 3-1 in 2023-24

The Raptors have been much more competitive in their last three games than they were in their 136-106 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers in their opening game on October 23rd. The Raptors beat the Philadelphia 76ers 115-107 at home, making them a five-point underdog Oct. 25, and suffered a narrow 127-125 loss to the Denver Nuggets in OT in their last game on Monday.

Toronto has cashed in each of its last three games, each as an underdog, while the Over has cashed in three of four games so far.

The Hornets started with a nice 110-105 road win against the Houston Rockets, but dropped the last two games, allowing 119.5 points per game. Charlotte is 2-1 against the spread (ATS) while paying out little money in 2 of 3 games.

Raptors at Hornets tips and predictions

forecast

Hornets 115, Raptors 111

Money line

The Hornets (-250) will cost you 2 1/2 times your potential winnings, and that's far too risky for a single bet or even as part of a multiple leg combination. This Charlotte team has been inconsistent in the early going, while the Raptors (+200) have been pretty physical lately.

HAPPEN.

Against the spread

Page with the RAPTORS +6.5 (-110) Catch more than three buckets in this street competition. Toronto has played its last three games as underdogs, including an outright win against the Sixers.

The Hornets -6.5 (-110) have not been a favorite in 3 games this season, but last season Charlotte was just 1-5 ATS in 6 attempts when they were favored.

Over/Under

OVER 222.5 (-110) is the lean, but go with a Half-unit game maximum.

The total has been high in three of the Raps' last four games, although the Unders cashed in Toronto's only away game to date.

The Hornets are 2-1 in three games, including a loss in the home opener against the Miami Heat on Saturday. However, the over is 3-1 in their last 4 meetings in Charlotte.
