NBA pick today: Charlotte Hornets +8 over Toronto Raptors (-110), 7:40 pm ET
The teams have been similarly matched offensively over the last 10 games. They rank 24th and 27th respectively in offensive rating and 27th and 29th in true shooting percentage. And while the Raptors have been better defensively, the Hornets have still ranked in the top half of the league in defensive rating.
PJ Washington and Jalen McDaniels have the physical attributes to match up well against the Raptors forwards. Pascal Siakam can cause trouble for most forwards with his handle, but Washington should have the ability to stay in front of him here. At the guard positions, Dennis Smith Jr. and Terry Rozier can both be very physical defenders who can cause Fred VanVleet issues tonight. If the Raptors leaders struggle to get their offense going due to their matchups, the Hornets are unlikely to get blown out here.
