Game Preview

The Raptors enter the game with momentum, having won their last three contests against the Brooklyn Nets, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Indiana Pacers. Currently positioned fifth in the Eastern Conference, the Raptors boast a top-10 offense paired with solid defensive play. Their recent success reflects well on their performance as they strive for further improvement.

Despite their favorable standing, the Raptors must not underestimate the Hornets. Charlotte recently challenged the Milwaukee Bucks, taking them to overtime, and managed to restrict the Oklahoma City Thunder to 109 points. The Hornets will aim to end their losing streak with this game, presenting a significant challenge for the Raptors.

A victory for Toronto could bring them closer to teams with double-digit wins in the conference, including the Atlanta Hawks, Cleveland Cavaliers, New York Knicks, and Detroit Pistons. While the Raptors are favored to win based on current form, overconfidence could lead to a surprising outcome.
