Toronto at New Orleans

Premium Pick

The Toronto Raptors certainly do not get enough credit for how far they have come. I believe that this team is still improving, and remain under the radar. The Raptors own a 30-16 record in their last 46 games, which certainly places them amongst the elite teams in the league, but they are not thought of that way. New Orleans is just 5-12 in their last 17, but what stands out is that none of those wins were against a team over .500. You have to turn the calendar all the way back to February 1st to see when the Pelicans last beat a winning team. Toronto has been too good for quite a stretch, and the New Orleans' track record vs. a good team speaks for itself. Take Toronto straight-up.
