In their last two matches, the Hornets won at the buzzer via a Malik Monk 3-pointer versus the Detroit Pistons and a buzzer beating 3-pointer by Devonte’ Graham versus the Knicks. ‘
This is the second of a four-game road trip for the Hornets who’ll be facing the Raptors just returning from a five-game Western Conference road trip.
In the victory in the Mecca Graham led the way with 29 points hitting nine of his 16 attempts from deep including the game winner. He was joined by rookie PJ Washington (19), Terry Rozier (16), Marvin Williams (13) and Malik Monk (12) with double-digit scoring efforts.
After playing in the home opener Nicolas Batum missed the next 11 games returning to the court for the match versus the Knicks.
Dwayne Bacon missed the last two games with a knee injury and is listed as questionable for the Monday match. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist has suffered from migraine headaches and missed 11 of the 12 Hornets games this season and won’t be available for this match.
Toronto Raptors
Although the Raptors lost the game in Dallas the five-game Western Conference road trip has to be considered a success. Starting in New Orleans the Raptors lost Kyle Lowry and Serge Ibaka but captured the win.

They went on to take down the Lakers and hung tight with the Clippers one night later losing OG Anunoby in less than two minutes and eventually succumbing late in the game.
Another victory in Portland followed without OG Anunoby out again and then the loss in Dallas to give Toronto a 3-2 winning trip.
Pascal Siakam had his worst game of the season shooting 6 of 24 scoring for 15 points but despite repeated drives to the basket got only three free throw attempts. His counterpart Luka Doncic shot 19 free throws which was four more than the entire Raptors team.
Norman Powell led the Raptors with 26 points, Fred VanVleet added 24 points and Matt Thomas scored 10. Despite fighting back in the match several times ultimately the Raptors couldn’t push past their fatigue.
Kyle Lowry (thumb), Serge Ibaka (ankle) and Patrick McCaw (knee) will all be out for the foreseeable future.

Free Charlotte Hornets vs. Toronto Raptors NBA Prediction:
One of the hardest games to win is the first game back from an opposite coast trip and the Raptors are extremely fatigued given the injury woes which mean core players minutes were extended. And, although the personnel has changed the Raptors – Hornets games always seem to be dramatic.
Still, Pascal Siakam seldom has two poor shooting games and Nick Nurse will have his team dialed in to defend the perimeter.
