The team is 18-54 and remains without LaMelo Ball. When Ball doesn&#8217;t play, the Hornets are a pitiful 2-23.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That alone should be enough to sell the Raptors, but I&#8217;ll break down their recent results, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>They are 8-5 over the past 13 games.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>That includes a 6-1 record vs. teams below Toronto in the standings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The Raptors are also a pretty respectable 16-21 at home. I expect them to get the job done tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NBA SGP legs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong><strong>Quickley over 17.5 points<\/strong> <\/strong>(-150):<\/strong> Much like last season, Quickley has come alive in the second half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Toronto&#8217;s point guard has played 16 times since Feb. 9:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>20.0 PPG<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>30.3 MPG<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>11-5 vs. this line<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>15+ PPG 15 times<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s a solid floor to work with against a weak defensive team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the Hornets are exactly that. They have the seventh-worst defensive rating in the NBA (117.2) and have given up 124.7 PPG over the last three contests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>Williams over 9.5 reboun<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>ds<strong><strong><strong><strong> (<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>-200):<\/strong> The seven-footer has been a beast on the glass down the final stretch of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He has double-digit rebounds in 10 of his last 13 games, averaging 11.3 during that time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jakob Poeltl will be starting for the Raptors, but he hasn&#8217;t played over 27 minutes in 10 straight games.
