Preview
The Toronto Raptors continue on the road and will visit the Brooklyn Nets on Monday. These teams have met twice so far this season and the Nets have won both games.
TORONTO RAPTORS
The Raptors are 32-27 overall and are 7th in the Eastern Conference. They have lost their last 2 games against the Hawks and the Hornets.
VanVleet is scoring 21.4 points per game with 4.5 rebounds and 6.9 assists for the Raptors. Pascal Siakam is averaging 23.1 points, 8.9 rebounds and 5.2 assists over the last 10 games for Toronto.
In their last 10 games the Raptors are 6-4, averaging 111.9 points, 44.1 rebounds, 22.1 assists, 8.3 steals and 3.7 blocks per game while shooting 46.0% from the field. Their opponents have averaged 112.6 points.
BROOKLYN NETS
The Nets are coming from a huge win against the Bucks on the road. Irving scored a season-high 38 points and Bruce Brown sank a go-ahead 3-pointer with 1:38 left in the Nets' 126-123 victory. The Nets are expecting to count on Kyrie at home for March 7th but he'll miss this game.
Mills is averaging 13 points for the Nets. Cameron Thomas is averaging 19.0 points over the last 10 games for Brooklyn.
Nets: 3-7, averaging 107.5 points, 42.1 rebounds, 22.0 assists, 7.5 steals and 4.0 blocks per game while shooting 43.6% from the field. Their opponents have averaged 116.3 points per game.
INJURIES: Ben Simmons, Joe Harris, Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving are all out.
BETTING TRENDS
Toronto are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games.
Toronto are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games against Brooklyn.
Brooklyn are 4-2 ATS in their last 6 games.
Brooklyn are 2-12 ATS in their last 14 games at home.
Prediction
The Raptors defense is in the top 10 of the NBA allowing 106.2 ppg but they have struggled offensively in their last 5 games. With the Nets allowing 116.3 ppg in their last 10 games the Raptors should be able to ge their offense back on track. Nets will be missing a lot of players for this game so I expect the Raptors to get the win.
PICK: Raptors -2 (-110)
