Zach Roberts: Hornets 124, Raptors 121

The Raptors are pretty good this year, and the Hornets have not been. But when healthier, the Hornets are decent. They just played the Bucks really well on the road and then hung much closer than they should've the very next day on a back-to-back against the Thunder, whom they only allowed 109 points to. If LaMelo Ball is back, I think the Hornets will steal an upset on his and Kon Knueppel's backs.

Ryan Stano: Hornets 116, Raptors 107

Even with the Hornets dealing with injury problems, Toronto hasn't established an identity yet. With LaMelo Ball back on the court, Charlotte should have enough offense to win the game, even if the defense is still finding its footing. Expect Miles Bridges to be the difference in this one.

Matt Alquiza: Raptors 111, Hornets 103

Toronto is a good basketball team. The depth that the Raptors possess will give the Hornets' second unit challenges, making it tough to predict a win for Charlotte. Things have generally fallen apart for the Hornets after starting hot in first quarters, and tonight will be more of the same.
