The Raptors are coming into this game with a 9-8 record overall and they are 6-1 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They are entering this game off of a loss against the Atlanta Hawks in their last game. Scottie Barnes led the team in points in that game with 28 while OG Anunoby was next on the team with 27 points. Scottie Barnes led the team in assists in that game with 9 while Scottie Barnes and Christian Koloko each led the team in rebounds with 9.

Their offense is averaging 112.5 PPG and their defense is allowing their opponents to average 110 PPG against them. The Raptors have an ATS record of 10-7 this season and their O/U record is 10-7.

The current betting odds have the Raptors listed as a 2 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Nets got off to a terrible start this season but they have really been getting hot in their games lately. They are starting to put some wins together and they even got a boost to their lineup with Kyrie Irving returning. As good as the Nets have been playing lately, they are in a bad spot here since they are playing a back-to-back game here on the road right after a game in Philadelphia and they will be far more focused on their game against the 76ers. That is a big game for them since they will be going against the team of James Harden, and even though he will not be playing in the game, the feelings will still be real with Ben Simmons making his return to Philadelphia to play against them. The Nets are going to put more effort into their game against the banged up 76ers and will not have as much energy when they travel to Toronto for this game. The Raptors have been playing very well this season even in their losses as they keep a lot of their games close and they will be looking for revenge here after an earlier meeting with the Nets this season. Now the Raptors are at home and even though they are banged up and missing a lot of their key players, the Nets will be tired playing on the back-to-back and they might overlook the Raptors in this spot. The best way to place a bet here is on the Raptors to cover the spread in this game.
