Toronto Raptors

Brooklyn Nets

Toronto is currently 12th in points, tied for 16th in points allowed, and 13th in point differential. Brandon Ingram leads the team in points per game. The Raptors just had their four-game winning streak end, and it was mostly because the defense didn't have their usual good efforts. So far, Toronto is a .500 team and their main statistical numbers hover around the middle of the pack as well. The Raptors will look to have another hot start to the game on offense and should be able to keep it steady against the lowly Nets. They are decent at taking care of the ball and should take advantage of points off turnovers.

Brooklyn is currently 26th in points, 29th in points allowed, and 29th in point differential. Nic Claxton leads the team in assists and field goal percentage. This team has the worst defensive rating in the league and has lost two games in a row. They have struggled extra against slightly above average to elite efficient offenses. The Nets are going through a rebuild and that can lead to sloppy basketball and inconsistencies on both sides of the ball. Also, Brooklyn has a lot of scorers on the team, but is lacking a consistent playmaker. The offense continues to hover around the low 100s and their last game was their lowest point total of the season.

Best Bet: Raptors Spread

The Raptors had a slow start to their season and have now won four of their last five games. Some of those games were against good teams and all the victories were by double digits. The Nets' only win was against one team worse than them, and that's the Indiana Pacers. Most of the losses were by double digits, and they really haven't been able to turn their slow start around like the Raptors have.
