"Charlotte enters Toronto with a 4-9 record, sitting 12th in the East and struggling to gain momentum. Three of their four wins have come at home, while they've stumbled to a 1-5 mark on the road. Despite going just 2-8 in their last 10 outings-and currently riding a two-game losing streak-the Hornets have maintained a respectable -3.3 point differential through 13 games, suggesting they've been competitive even in losses."
"The injury report remains a concern. Charlotte will be without Liam McNeeley (illness), Josh Green (shoulder), and Grant Williams (knee). Brandon Miller (shoulder) has missed time since his November 3rd injury and was given a two-week reevaluation window, so his status could shift soon depending on medical updates. The good news for the Hornets: their star duo of Miles Bridges and LaMelo Ball will be active, and both are off to strong starts in their 2025-26 campaigns."
"Toronto's early-season turnaround has been dramatic. Their 1-4 start already feels like a distant memory, as the Raptors enter tonight at 8-5-good for fifth in the East-and fresh off a highly successful 4-1 road trip. They'll look to extend their winning streak to four games. Injuries have been relatively kind to Toronto. Only Ochai Agbaji (back, questionable) and Jamison Battle (knee contusion, questionable) appear on the report. One ongoing challenge, however, has been the starting unit's"
