The Toronto Raptors (22-15, 10-7 Away) will try to build on their successful 4-1 homestand as they head out onto the road. Their first stop: the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, NC, to take on the Hornets (13-23, 7-10 Home). Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. EST with coverage provided by the FanDuel Sports Network Southeast.
This contest will be the fourth time these two teams have faced off. The Raptors took the first game, which was in Toronto, 110-108. Brandon Ingram led the way with 27 points. When they played again a couple of weeks later, it was Charlotte that came out ahead 118-111. Miles Bridges led the way with 35 points. In Game Three, Toronto struggled, scoring just 86 points on the night while the Hornets hammered the Pistons, scoring 111 points. This time it was Kon Knueppel that led the way with 21 points; he was 5-9 from three-point range in this game.
Charlotte will enter this game on a high after destroying the defending champs (OKC Thunder), 124-97, their last time out. Toronto will be feeling pretty good coming into this game after dominating the Hawks twice at home (one by 18 points and the other by 17).

Our Charlotte Hornets vs Toronto Raptors Prediction
Charlotte is coming off a massive win over the Oklahoma City Thunder, but asking a mediocre team like the Hornets to have a similar night in two consecutive games may be asking a bit much. There is no reason why this spread should be as small as it is. Toronto is one of the better teams in the East, while Charlotte is closer to the bottom of the standings.
Our Toronto vs..Charlotte Pick: Raptors -2.5
