Toronto had enough points to win and then some against the Charlotte Hornets on Monday, taking their contest 116-101. It was another big night for the Raptors’ power forward Pascal Siakam, who almost dropped a triple-double on 24 points, 11 boards, and eight assists.

Meanwhile, OKC received a tough blow on Monday as they fell 110-98 to the Golden State Warriors. Small forward Luguentz Dort (26 points) was the top scorer for Oklahoma City.

Toronto is the favorite in this one, with an expected 9.5-point margin of victory. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread as they are currently on a six-game streak of ATS wins.

Toronto is now 29-23 while the Thunder sit at 17-36. Two offensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Raptors have only been able to knock down 44.10% percent of their shots, which is the fifth lowest field goal percentage in the league. OKCs have had an even harder time: they have only been able to knock down 41.80% percent of their shots, which is the lowest field goal percentage in the league. It could be a slow night.
