The set-up: Both teams are "hungry" for a victory here and I expect this competitiveness to result in a lower-scoring defensive battle. Toronto has lost five of six. The Raptors average 113.2 PPG, while allowing 111.8.

The pick: The Hornets have won five of their last eight. Overall Charlotte averages 112.5 PPG, while allowing 112.9. Toronto's still a banged up team. The only chance the visiting side has is to grind out a win a here. Expect a slower pace and for this one to fall "under" the number once it's all said and done.

This is a 10* TOTAL DESTRUCTION on the UNDER Raptors/Hornets.
