Toronto Raptors are playing at home and average a better field goal, 3-pointer, and free throw percentage per game. I can’t New Orleans Pelicans winning this game. So I am taking Toronto on the moneyline because I am not sure they will cover the spread.

In the last game, Houston won 123-98. Coming into this game the Rockets are coming off a road loss. So being that this game is at home. I expect them to win the game and cover the spread. My pick is Houston Rockets -12 against the spread.

The last game Hornets won 107-85 in Charlotte. However, this time around the game is in Portland. Which factors in how players reaction to the crowd effects their play. I am still taking the Hornets against the spread. I feel Charlotte will either take this game or lose by 1 or 2 points.
