The Charlotte Hornets will travel to the Scotiabank Arena to face the Toronto Raptors in the NBA on Wednesday night. The Raps (29-50) are 11th in the Eastern Conference, while the Hornets (19-60) are 14th. Let’s get into the match prediction. 

With both of these teams now out of contention to make the postseason, they will play out their remaining regular-season matches for nothing more than pride. 

The Toronto Raptors are ending the season on a positive note, having now won five of their last eight games after overcoming the Brooklyn Nets 120-109 on the road on Sunday night. 

The Raptors are 23rd in the scoring charts, averaging 110.7 PPG, but they are 18th on the defensive end, allowing 115.2 PPG. Notably, they beat this opponent 108-97 at home less than two weeks ago. 

Meanwhile, the Charlotte Hornets seem to have shut up shop for the season, having now lost nine of their last 10 and four in a row after going down 124-100 to the Grizzlies last night. 

No Charlotte player managed to reach 15 points in the defeat to Memphis. As a team, they shot 45% from the field and converted 11 of their 38 attempts from beyond the arc. 

The Hornets are the third-lowest scoring team in the NBA this season, averaging just 105.6 points per game, but they are a better defensive unit that allows 114.1 PPG (15th overall).
