Hornets vs. Raptors Preview
We're not talking about the Thunder or Cavaliers, as progress is measured differently for a team like the Raptors.
In Toronto's case, however, the Raptors are proving this week that they can handle the bad teams; witness the road wins at Washington and Brooklyn (the latter a 30-point romp). Earlier this month were a pair of three-game win streaks, again vs. lesser competition.
The Raptors were hitting the board with abandon vs. the Wizards and Nets, recording a whopping +32 rebound edge across the pair of wins. Toronto should be focused too, after its last home game was a humbling loss to the Spurs.
The Hornets remain a proper go-against, losing and failing to cover the spread in five of its last six, including losses by 35, 32, 35, and 17 points. Lay the points with Toronto.
