The New Orleans Pelicans head to Scotiabank Arena to face the Toronto Raptors in the NBA on Friday. The Raps (40-32) are sixth in the Eastern Conference standings, while the Pels (25-49) are 12th in the West. Let’s get into the match prediction.
The Toronto Raptors’ top-four hopes took another major blow in midweek when they were hammered by the Clippers 119-94, marking their third loss in their last four games.
While the Raps have a top-10 defence, they have slipped to 18th in offensive efficiency. However, the positive from their loss to the Clippers was that RJ Barrett recorded his 15th straight double-digit haul.
Toronto lost to this opponent on the road earlier this month, but they are 19-16 at home this season. Immanuel Quickley is ruled out for the hosts.
Meanwhile, after a notable improvement earlier this month, the New Orleans Pelicans have cooled off lately, now riding a three-game losing streak after going down to the Pistons 128-108 last night.
They trail the Warriors by 10 wins, which is a gap they cannot close from here. Injuries have played their part in the Pels’ record this season, and an overhaul seems inevitable during the offseason.
New Orleans have only won nine of their 36 away games this season. Bryce McGowens and Dejounte Murray are out, while Trey Murphy is a doubt.

Our Toronto Raptors vs New Orleans Pelicans Prediction
The Pelicans are still one of the most profitable teams in the NBA this season at 43-30-1 ATS, but they are playing on zero days’ rest following a 20-point loss to the Pistons, and they will be missing Dejounte Murray.
The Raptors are in a bit of a slump, but this is the type of game they have to take advantage of if they are to push closer to the top four teams in the East. At home and with the rest advantage, we fancy the Raps to get the job done in this one. Our Toronto Raptors vs New Orleans Pelicans prediction is Toronto Raptors -5.5.
If your team in the Toronto Raptors and New Orleans Pelicans game takes a 20-point lead, you win!
