Toronto Raptors (40-32) will host New Orleans Pelicans (25-49) at Scotiabank Arena on Friday night. The Raptors, who have already secured their play-in spot in the Eastern Conference, will be shooting for a win to bounce back from their embarrassing 119-94 loss against the Clippers. It was a costly defeat that saw them drop to sixth place in the standings, only 0.5 games ahead of the Sixers. The fans will expect an immediate response tonight.
New Orleans, meanwhile, will have nothing much to fight for after missing out on the play-in tournament in the Western Conference. The Pelicans will have themselves to blame after failing to gather some winning momentum with only eight games remaining. They lost their last three matches, including a 21-point blowout loss at the Pistons. This was their fourth straight defeat on the road.

Our Toronto Raptors vs New Orleans Pelicans Prediction
This game has a Toronto Raptors win written all over it. It has been a sad time for Toronto’s fans, who have had to endure their team’s struggles on the road over the last five matches. They’ll now want to see their team make the most of their two home games this weekend ahead of a crunch run-in to secure a playoff spot. The good news for Toronto is that the Pelicans offer little threat on the road, having lost their last four games while averaging 111.25 points per contest. Still, the Raptors must improve their attack to keep up with the playoff race. They’ve scored under 122.5 points in their last five home games and under 117.5 in their last five home matches against the Pelicans. We think they’ll improve this record on Friday night at home.
Our prediction for Toronto Raptors vs New Orleans Pelicans: Raptors to score over 117.5 points.
