Tuesday, January 10th, the Charlotte Hornets and Toronto Raptors meet for the first of four scheduled matches this season. The teams will play two baseball sets with the first occurring North of the border on January 10th and 12th while Charlotte will host the second set on April 2nd and 4th.
Both teams last played Sunday with the Hornets losing 111-116 to the Pacers while the Raptors beat the Blazers 117-105 on Sunday.
Last season, the squads played three times with Toronto winning two of the three contests. The Hornets hold the all-time record having bested the Raptors in 47 of their 89 matches.
*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, Monday, evening, January 9th. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Tuesday, January 10th.
Charlotte Hornets
Although they have just three wins in their last 10 matches the Hornets still feel like a team who should be seeded higher up the ladder.
The main issue remains defense as the team can light up any opponent but unless Steve Clifford can get his squad to invest in playing on both ends for closer to 48 minutes the wins will be tough to come by.
This is the third of a four-game road trip as the Hornets hit a road-heavy schedule portion where they’ll play 11 of their next 16 matches on the road and the home matches aren’t any easier (Celtics x 2, Bulls, Heat).
Offense
Charlotte ranks 23rd averaging 111.9 points per game and ranks 29th in field goal percentage shooting 44.6% and 30th from the perimeter shooting 32.5% from deep.
Defensively, Charlotte is giving up an average of 118.1 points (28th). Opponents shoot 48.0% from the field (23rd) and 35.8% from the perimeter ranking 16th overall.
Gordon Hayward (hamstring) is questionable. Kelly Oubre Jr. (hand) is out indefinitely.
Toronto Raptors
Just when it looked like the Raptors would throw in the towel and enter into tanking mode they pulled out a win that reminded why this team was expected to be among those in the upper tier.
I’d noted in recent posts how Fred VanVleet had played a role and he did in this game too, albeit in a positive way. The offense ran more through Scottie Barnes and VanVleet took fewer shots.
Whether this scheme continues or not, the result was a more free flowing offense with balanced scoring.
At the same time on offense, the Raptors score 111.2 points per game (26th) shooting 44.7% from the field (28th) and 32.6% from deep (29th).
Defense
Defensively, the Raptors allow the eighth fewest opponent points: 111.2 while limiting foes to 48.6% from the field and 36.4% from deep ranking 27th and 23rd respectively.
Additionally, Otto Porter Jr. (foot) is out indefinitely.

Free Charlotte Hornets vs. Toronto Raptors NBA Prediction:
Basically, for those expecting the Raptors to tank, John Schuhmannn offers up reasoning for why that might be a premature stance.
Also, Toronto has played the hardest schedule and facing 24 teams with winning records versus copious Eastern opponents who’ve played far less against that winning group.
Undoubtedly, there is a cut-off point (which may have already passed) but winning games like this baseball set will be integral to decisions the Raptors (and the Hornets) make leading to the trade deadline.
