The Toronto Raptors has been an excellent defensive team lately. Not just excellent, they actually lead the NBA in defensive rating since the All-Star break. That has me targeting the Under on the Charlotte Hornets team total which is on the board at 106.5. Charlotte has played below this number five times in its last six games. While the Raptors have held opponents below this number five times in their last nine. The Hornets don’t want to win. The Raptors play good defense. Give me the Under 106.5 on the Hornets team total.
Hornets big man Mark Williams is always a threat to post double figures in points and rebounds, averaging more than 15 and 10, respectively, for the season. Williams, who has 17 double-doubles in 38 games, has a great shot at padding those stats tonight against the Raptors, who have issues keeping foes from the offensive glass, giving up almost 12 offensive rebounds and 14.7 second-chance points per outing.
