What you need to know about the Hornets
The Hornets' recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Monday after their eighth straight loss. They took a 124-118 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Los Angeles Lakers. The Hornets' defeat shouldn't obscure the performances of Miles Bridges, who scored 41 points, and Brandon Miller, who recorded 33 points along with four steals.
The Hornets struggled to get the ball back on offense and finished the game with only five offensive rebounds. Charlotte has lost seven consecutive games at home and the Hornets are 1-7 against the spread in their last eight contests.
What you need to know about the Raptors
Meanwhile, the Raptors suffered their third straight loss on Monday. It's going to take some time for them to recover from the 138-100 bruising that the New Orleans Pelicans dished out. The loss was more of the same for the Raptors, who've now lost eight of their last nine games.
Despite the losing streak, the Raptors will enter tonight's contest confident they can secure the victory. That's because Toronto is 5-1 in its last six meetings against the Hornets. The Raptors are 7-7 against the spread in their last 14 games against teams that win less than 45% of games.
