"The Raptors are coming into the night on a nine-game win streak. Quite the accomplishment, but they are one win behind the Oklahoma City Thunder's current win streak of 10 games, which is a league high at the moment. Toronto will be tasked with the Charlotte Hornets, who are struggling heavily lately as they've lost seven games in a row prior to last night's win against Chicago."
"For the Hornets, it wasn't a terrible start at 4-7, but since then, a seven-game losing streak before last night's win against Chicago has already put doubts in the mind of a franchise struggling to clinch postseason berths. The starting lineup has been relatively healthy for Charlotte as their main guys, LaMelo Ball and Miles Bridges, with the latter having featured in all contests. Ball has missed seven games so"
Toronto (14-5) sits second in the Eastern Conference with an offensive rating of 117.4 (8th), defensive rating of 110.8 (4th) and a net rating of +6.5 (5th). Toronto has won nine straight games and seeks a tenth against the Charlotte Hornets after a successful four-for-four home stand and a 97-95 win over Indiana capped by late free throws. Charlotte (5-14) has struggled, enduring a seven-game losing streak before a recent win, and posts a 114.4 offensive rating and 119.8 defensive rating. LaMelo Ball has missed multiple games while Miles Bridges has been consistently available.
