Command Analysis
Toronto Raptors
CanadaCurrent form
The Toronto Raptors are marching through the season like tired travelers in the desert — three losses in the last four games. But on March 6, they still snatched a victory from the same wretch, Brooklyn, on someone else's field — 120:109. We only lost the third quarter, but otherwise we kept the rhythm like an old metronome. Jonathan Mogbo was the hero of the night—17 points, 11 rebounds, seven assists, an almost triple feat worthy of a ballad. Ochai Agbaji added 15, Orlando Robinson added 11, and R.J. Barrett and A.J. Lawson added 13 each. Cole Sweeder and Jamison Battle contributed 12 each.
Darko Rajakovic's team (29 wins, 50 losses) is stuck in 11th place in the East, and playoff dreams have long since faded, like the morning mist over Lake Ontario.
Disqualifications and injuries
The Raptors approach the match like the crew of a wrecked spaceship — there are losses, and serious ones. Jacobe Walter, Grady Dick and Brandon Ingram will miss the game for medical reasons, and the bench resembles an infirmary after a battle. But there is hope: Jacob Peltl and Scotty Barnes, the leaders of the team, can return to the ranks, like two captains ready to lead the ship through the storm.
Interesting facts for betting
Toronto is averaging 114 points in games with Charlotte (over the last ten meetings).
The approximate line-up: Immanuel Quickley, Jamison Battle, R.J. Barrett, Scotty Barnes, Jacob Peltl.
Charlotte Hornets
USACurrent form
The Charlotte Hornets are no longer a team, but some kind of grim experiment: nine losses in the last ten matches. On April 9, they hosted Memphis on their floor and were crushed — 100:124. All four quarters are a continuous fall, as if someone had turned off the light in their destiny. Miles Bridges tried to resist— 14 points, six rebounds, three assists, but it was like a scream in the void. Tidjane Salon added 13, Josh Okogi added 12. Charles Lee's team (19 wins, 60 losses) is entrenched in the 14th place of the East, and even the play-in for them is a distant star that cannot be reached.
Disqualifications and injuries
The Hornets went to Canada as a squad that had lost half of its fighters. A month ago, it became clear that Lonzo Ball, their best in points and assists, was out for the rest of the season due to injury. Josh Green, the starting five player, is also in the infirmary. This is not a team, but fragments, hastily glued together.
Interesting facts for betting
Charlotte is averaging 109 points against Toronto (in the last ten games).
The approximate line-up: KJ Simpson, Seth Curry, Nick Smith, Miles Bridges, Mark Williams.

1.87Tip and bets
Toronto and Charlotte are two ships that have long lost their course, drifting towards the season finale with no purpose, just for the sake of moving. But if the Raptors still retain some remnants of pride, then the Hornets are almost a legend of the fall, a team that has lived in the shadow of the table all tournament. Bookmakers see Toronto as the favorite, and for good reason — they have a chance to play brightly, especially at home, to the roar of their fans. Rajakovich and his guys must get the better of a weakened opponent, like heroes who find strength in the last act.
Our prediction is that Toronto will win with a handicap (-7.5) points, including overtime in 1.82
Bet on the total
Toronto and Charlotte matches usually delight with an abundance of points — the average for the last ten games is 223. There is no reason to expect them to suddenly start playing defense like chess masters. Both teams are suffering from defensive holes, the leaders are disappearing into the infirmaries, and the floor promises to become an arena for attacking chaos.
Our betting tip is a total of more than 218.5 points, including overtime in 2.09
The bet on the player
R.J. Barrett went through 58 games last season, averaging 20.1 points per game, and this year he raised the bar to 21.6. This Canadian guy proves year after year that his star has not yet faded. At 24, he's like a young hero who hasn't said the last word yet. Against a weak Charlotte, he may well shine brighter than usual.
Our prediction is a total over Barrett of 22.5 points in 1.87
