*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, on Saturday, April 1st. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Sunday, April 2nd.
Toronto Raptors
Since the trade deadline, the Raptors are playing closer to the level they were projected to be at in preseason. One thing that hasn’t changed is they still have a tendency to fall into lapses where they can’t score and/or stop defending to their ability.
On Friday, that period happened in the second quarter and it was all that was needed for the 76ers to grab the win. Philly scored 46 points to the Raptors’ 27 and despite Toronto winning the next two quarters that 19 point difference proved too much to make up.
Stats
On offense, the Raptors score 112.9 points per game ranking 23rd while shooting 45.7% from the field and 33.7% from the perimeter ranking 26th and 28th respectively.
Meanwhile, defensively, the Raptors allow 111.7 points per game ranking fifth best with opponents shooting 49.1% from the field and 37.5% from deep ranking 28th and 27th respectively.
Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Otto Porter Jr., SF (OUT for season, — foot)
- Gary Trent Jr. SG (questionable—elbow)
- Will Barton, SG (probable —ankle)
- Joe Wieskamp SG (OUT indefinitely—hamstring)
- Dalano Banton PG (probable—thumb)
Charlotte Hornets
Steve Clifford has his squad reveling in playing spoiler as they close out the season. Charlotte is 4-2 through the last six games beating the Mavericks twice and the Thunder with those losses hurting Dallas and OKC as they fight to secure their play-in berth.

Season Stats
Charlotte ranks 27th averaging 111.2 points per game while shooting 45.6% from the field and 33% from the perimeter ranking 29th in both categories.

Free Toronto Raptors vs. Charlotte Hornets NBA Prediction:
With no pressure on winning Charlotte can play free and easy which helps their objective of being spoilers but the injury list is growing and may impact that ability.
Conversely, the Raptors’ recent success hasn’t translated on the road yet. They need that to change with consecutive baseball sets in Charlotte and Boston accounting for four of their five final games while they cling to the ninth seed.
While Toronto has had Charlotte’s number the 13-point spread feels far too rich as these teams have typically engaged in very competitive matches.
