Raptors vs. Nets Picks
Point Spread Pick for Raptors vs. Nets
- Brooklyn Nets +4 (4 Units)
The Nets have won three of their last five home games, while the Raptors have split their last four road games. Brooklyn has the edge here because they’re playing well offensively, scoring more than 110 points per game in their last three games, while making over 45 percent of their shots. They’ve also done a better job at the charity stripe, making over 80 percent of their free throws during that span, while the Raptors made less than 70 percent of theirs. They rebound the ball well and grab 12 offensive rebounds per game at home, which will give them more scoring chances. They also cut down their turnovers in recent games and won’t give up many easy-scoring chances. The Raptors struggle defensively on the road, and they will be dealing with fatigue from playing their second game in consecutive days, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down the Nets. Take Brooklyn to cover the spread.
Over/Under Pick for Raptors vs. Nets
- Under 225.5 (4 Units)
The Raptors average 116.3 points per game on the road. They play at the 21st-fastest pace in the league, averaging 103 possessions per game, and they’re facing a team that gave up 102.3 points per game in their last three games. The Nets average 109.6 points per game at home. They play at the 28th-fastest pace in the league, averaging 101.2 possessions per game, and they’re facing a team that gave up 106 points per game in their last three games. Don’t expect these teams to score enough points to push the score over the total. The Nets and Raptors played under the total in three of their last four meetings.
