Charlotte vs Toronto Prediction: the Hornets Can't Stop the Raptors This Season

Prediction for the NBA Charlotte Hornets vs Toronto Raptors match which will take place on April 5th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Hornets finished the championship having all the starting five injured. Steve Clifford's team played two second-team games, losing both by double-digit margins. First, Charlotte failed to cope with Chicago (91-121) and then Toronto (108-128). The Hornets' lineup experiments are understandable, given that 14th place in the Eastern Conference is the position Charlotte will keep.

The Raptors won't be in the top-6 at the end of the regular season, but they have secured a playoff spot. At the finish of the championship, it remains to determine the seeding that Toronto will receive. Right now, Nick Nurse's team is eighth but could be ranked anywhere from seventh to tenth. There's a big difference in that, so Toronto will no doubt try to win as often as possible at the tournament's finish.

Toronto, unlike Charlotte, is motivated at the end of the regular season. In addition, the Raptors have won seven of their last ten games and handled the Hornets in all three H2H meetings this season. The upcoming game will likely end with a solid win for Toronto, given the absence of all of Charlotte's key players. We bet on the Raptors and the TO, which has happened in all meetings between the teams in the current championship.
