Tuesday offers their best shot as the Bulls host Atlanta and if both Chicago and Toronto win the Raptors will move up to eighth.

Charlotte Hornets
With so many of the core players out injured Steve Clifford had to rely on end-of-bench younger guys who don’t typically get a ton of minutes let alone start.
Factor in the matchup versus Toronto isn’t ideal even with the Hornets A team although Clifford has to be specifically thrilled with Mark Williams, James Bouknight, and Kai Jones’ stepping up and producing.

Free Toronto Raptors vs. Charlotte Hornets NBA Prediction:
Although no team can be overlooked and some Hornets could be upgraded to play the Raptors are laser-focused on getting this win especially with a baseball set versus the Celtics looming and a closing night match against the Bucks on tap.
Loyal followers know how averse I am to large spreads and since Toronto will be playing again on Wednesday in Boston my guess is they’ll try to get out to a quick lead so Nick Nurse can rest some of his core in the second half.
