Bally Sports Southeast<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\nCharlotte Hornets vs Toronto Raptors Analysis<\/h2>\nThe Hornets will play at the Raptors tonight in what should be a fun game as both teams are healthy with the game time decision with Hayward the only issue with a starter. The books give the edge to the Raptors as they are -3.5 point favorites with the total at 221.5, but Charlotte is the team coming in with a better short term winning streak. We\u2019ll take a look at both teams and see if a bet emerges for us.<\/p>\n Hornets Flying<\/h3>\nCharlotte is on a nice 7-2 run losing only to Atlanta and Orlando, and will be looking to rebound off a terrible shooting night on Sunday where they made four 3-pointers all game in a blowout loss to the Hawks. They are 7-3 against the spread their last 10 games, and 3-7 over\/under in their last 10 so they\u2019ve been trending as a good against the spread and under team recently.<\/p>\n Rozier and Bridges have been doing a lot of the scoring recently, and that should be a good matchup for them tonight as Toronto ranks bottom 10 in defending shooting guards and small forwards. The common denominator in their two losses is bad three point shooting as they were under 29% in both losses. When they hit their threes they have solid wins over teams like Philly, Boston and Milwaukee twice.<\/p>\n Toronto Downturn<\/h3>\nToronto won six games in a row, but they have struggled recently going 2-5 in their last seven.\u00a0\u00a0When looking at the numbers, their offense has come to a screeching halt as they\u2019ve scored under 100 points in four out of seven games.\u00a0\u00a0In their six game win streak they scored 116 or more in five of them, but that haven\u2019t reached near that total in seven straight.<\/p>\n VanVleet\u2019s numbers have really come down as his shooting percentage was really high at the beginning of the month, but has regressed back to where he hasn\u2019t scored 25 or more in seven straight.\u00a0\u00a0If Charlotte is hitting threes tonight it might be tough for Toronto to keep up if their scoring woes continue.<\/p>\n Charlotte Hornets vs Toronto Raptors Prediction<\/h3>\nI see a bounce back for Toronto off a bad shooting night in their last game, and with Toronto\u2019s scoring troubles I like getting +3.5 tonight so I\u2019ll be playing the Hornets and the points tonight.<\/p>\n OFFICIAL PLAY: Hornets +3.5<\/strong><\/p>\nInterested in placing a bet on tonight’s Charlotte Hornets vs Toronto Raptors contest?
