Toronto Raptors VS Brooklyn Nets
- Toronto Raptors (-3.5 Points) Handicap
Brooklyn Nets won’t have Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant or Ben Simmons in their match up with the Raptors. In their last two home games without Irving, they lost to Boston by 23 and to Washington by 14. They aren’t going to be able to rely on Seth Curry and Andre Drummond to carry them against a Raptors team that is much better than most people realize.
Indiana Pacers VS Orlando Magic
- Indiana Pacers to win
Indiana pacers have won 2 of their last 3 matches, where the 1 loss came in overtime. The Pacers stopped Celtics surge of wins after beating them by 21 points. With Malcom Brogdon back in the line-up 2 games ago, the team is completely different and the players around him benefit. Orlando has been arguably the worst team in the league this season.
Charlotte Hornets VS Milwaukee Bucks
- Milwaukee Bucks to win
- Giannis Antetokounmpo 12+ Rebounds
- Bobby Portis 3+ Made 3 pointers
Milwaukee should still have enough to get the job done in front of their home fans, but the Hornets will put up some resistance. Giannis has become main beneficiary for collecting rebounds both defensively and offensively, without Brook Lopez in the side. In February he’s averaging 11.8 rebounds per game and against the Hornets, he is on a streak of 7 straight games with 12 or more rebounds. He has had 12+ rebounds in 13 of his last 15 games against the Hornets. Coming off a 30 point scoring against Brooklyn draining 8 3-pointers off 11 attempts, Bobby Portis will look to replicate his shooting form coming up against the Hornets.
