Hornets vs. Raptors preview
The Raptors are hoping to keep their winning streak alive with a game against the Hornets. The team has won three straight after beating the Brooklyn Nets, Cleveland Cavaliers and Indiana Pacers on the road.
The Raptors are sitting in fifth place in the Eastern Conference thanks to a top-10 offence and an above-average defence that are complementing each other very well. The only teams ahead of them in the Eastern Conference standings are the Atlanta Hawks, the aforementioned Cleveland Cavaliers, the New York Knicks and the Detroit Pistons, who are the only squad with double-digit wins in the conference.
A win against the Hornets could put the Raptors one step closer to that club, but Charlotte isn’t a team that can be overlooked. The Hornets took Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks to overtime in the NBA Cup and held the Oklahoma City Thunder to 109 points.
The Hornets will be coming to Toronto hoping to snap their losing streak and the Raptors will have to do their best to try and prevent their steal. The Raptors should win the game based on their recent success, but they cannot get too cocky, otherwise they could be hit with a very brutal reality check.
