Result:
LOSS

Toronto is tough, #3 in the NBA in points scored and playing a Charlotte team that can't do anything right. Toronto is off a loss at Phoenix Sunday, so they are well rested and won't be in a good mood. The Raptors are 23-10-2 ATS following a loss and 4-1 ATS against a team with a losing record. Charlotte has been losing a lot and with good reason, ranked #25 in points scored and #18 in points allowed. Charlotte is off a win but that was last night and the starters tagged a lot of minutes. The Hornets are 2-6 ATS when their starting five players combine for more than 160 minutes of the previous day. Since allowing a 44.3 field-goal percentage over its previous 10 games, Toronto let Golden State shoot 53.3% in Friday's 126-105 defeat and the Suns to make 53.9%. The Raptors have played much better on that end during their winning streak at the Air Canada Centre, surrendering just 96.0 points per game on 44.4% shooting. The home team is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings between these teams too, so grab home court and take Toronto.
