Advice and prediction
Charlotte did not play well for three quarters of Thursday’s game against Detroit but started and finished the game well enough to earn a win that moves it to .500. With the rust shaken off, the Hornets now get a decimated Raptors side.
The Raptors and Hornets had two hard-fought, close games in Tampa earlier this season with Charlotte down Gordon Hayward. Now at full strength against a Toronto side battling a COVID-19 outbreak, Charlotte should be the favorites here. Take Hornets minus-2.5 on Saturday.
Prediction: Charlotte 118, Toronto 110.
