Raptors vs. Hornets preview

The Raptors are hoping to get over an obstacle as they take on the Hornets for the first of a two-game road trip. The Raptors have played well this season, winning 22 of their first 37 games, but the Hornets have been a team that has acted as a thorn in their side.

In the first meeting between the two teams this season, the Raptors squeaked out a two-point win at home. Just 12 days after their first meeting, the two teams met in Charlotte where the Hornets pulled out an overtime win, snapping the Raptors' nine-game winning streak at the end of November.

The two teams met in Toronto last month where the Raptors were blown out by 25 points. Now, the Hornets will either win the season series, or the Raptors will settle the score.

If the Raptors play like they have over the last couple of games, they should be able to get revenge on the Hornets and pull out the win.
