The Toronto Raptors head to the Spectrum Center to face the Charlotte Hornets in the NBA on Wednesday night. The hosts are 10-39 and 13th in the Eastern Conference, while the visitors are 17-33 and just one spot above their opponents in the Conference standings.
The Toronto Raptors have been struggling immensely, losing eight of their last nine games, and they will be aiming to break a three-game losing streak following a crushing 138-100 defeat to the Pelicans on Monday. Grayson Dick led the team with 22 points off the bench, while Scottie Barnes contributed 17 points, five rebounds, and four assists. Currently, the Raptors rank 19th in the NBA for scoring (114.3 PPG), while the Hornets boast the 25th-best defense, allowing 120.3 points per game. Defensively, Toronto ranks 21st in the league, and they have conceded over 135 points in each of their last three games prior to facing the Hornets. Jontay Porter, Markquis Nowell, and Gary Trent Jr. are uncertain for the upcoming match.
The Charlotte Hornets have been enduring a prolonged cold streak, dropping 15 of their last 17 games, and they will be desperate to halt an eight-game losing skid after falling to the Knicks in a 124-118 defeat on Monday. Miles Bridges led the team with an impressive 41 points on 16 of 26 shooting, while Brandon Miller contributed 33 points on 13 of 25 shooting. Currently, Charlotte ranks 28th in scoring in the NBA, averaging 108.5 points per game, whereas the Toronto squad holds the 19th position in defensive rankings, allowing 117.8 points per game. Notably, Charlotte possesses the worst defensive rating in the NBA this season, conceding the highest field goal percentage and struggling significantly in three-point defense. Moreover, they may be without as many as six players for the upcoming match, including Gordon Hayward and LaMelo Ball.

Our Charlotte Hornets vs Toronto Raptors Prediction
While we’re backing the Raptors to get the W here, the reasoning isn’t because they are playing well, but is due to how poor the Hornets have been of late. The hosts are also likely to be missing several players for this match, including Kyle Lowry, who is definitely out. We’ll be leaving this one off our accumulators for the day.
