Our Toronto Raptors vs Charlotte Hornets Prediction
This is a very tricky fixture between two sides that are among the coldest in the league at the moment. However, the Hornets have managed to get the cover in six of their last nine games, and we feel that a -7.5 line flatters the Raptors, who were just blown away by the Warriors last time out. We’ll be leaving this one off our accumulators for the day, but wil be backing the visitors to get the cover as a standalone wager. Our Toronto Raptors vs Charlotte Hornets prediction: Charlotte Hornets +7.5.
