Hornets vs Raptors

LaMelo Ball’s relentless playmaking hasn’t stopped the Hornets from extending a tough losing streak, and with his lingering ankle concerns, Charlotte’s momentum remains stifled. On the flip side, Toronto has struggled with a short skid of its own, but Pascal Siakam’s all-around impact could swing the balance back in the Raptors’ favor. Historically, Toronto’s home dominance in Eastern Conference battles has kept Charlotte at bay, especially when the Hornets have key players sidelined. With better form and an apparent edge in matchups, expect the Raptors to secure a win worth a strong return. Odds and availability are subject to change.

Gordon Hayward continues searching for a spark as the Hornets stumble through a five-game losing streak, and the Raptors arrive stuck in a three-game skid of their own. With LaMelo Ball still sidelined, Charlotte’s offense has been erratic, while Toronto has been missing a consistent shooting threat due to injuries to Gary Trent Jr. Historically, the Raptors have found success in this venue, keeping the Hornets under pressure with physical perimeter defense. Despite both teams’ urgency, recent form suggests a grind-it-out matchup short on scoring. Odds and availability are subject to change.

Mar 28, 2025 | 19:30 | Charlotte, NC. Hungry Hornets Aim for Unexpected Upset. The Charlotte Hornets, currently dragging a four-game losing skid, will look to counter Toronto’s recent slump as LaMelo Ball remains out with a lingering wrist issue, while Gordon Hayward has been battling nagging foot soreness. The Raptors have Fred VanVleet active but continue to miss OG Anunoby, creating a gap in perimeter defense that has hurt them in multiple Eastern Conference matchups. Historically, the Hornets have shown flashes of resilience against Toronto, and with the Raptors on a two-game slide, bettors get decent value taking Charlotte to cover. This prediction rates at a solid B+ and could deliver a favorable payout if the Hornets’ late-game energy matches their hunger. A surprising sting is in store for Toronto. Odds and availability are subject to change.
