Command Analysis
Toronto Raptors
CanadaCurrent form
Toronto is having a bad season and is among the outsiders of the Eastern Conference. There are clearly problems within the team, as the team plays extremely inconsistently, and only recently the Raptors were able to improve their game. Three wins in a row became a breath of fresh air.
It is especially worth noting the confident victory over Orlando (109:93) and successful matches against Atlanta. The Canadian club, unexpectedly for many, began to demonstrate discipline and stability. The main role on the court is played by Scottie Barnes and RJ Barrett, who consistently score points and help the team fight.
Darko Rajkovic hasn't been able to take the Raptors to the next level yet, but the team is showing character. The hosts will have a great chance to extend their winning streak in the next game, especially considering the visitors' poor form.
Disqualifications and injuries
The team approaches the meeting with an optimal composition.
Interesting facts for betting
In the last five matches, the reptiles celebrated victories four times.
Probable lineup: Barnes - Barrett, Peltle - Mitchell, Dick.
New Orleans Pelicans
USACurrent form
New Orleans continues to stall, being among the outsiders of the Western Conference. The team suffers from the absence of its leader, Brandon Ingram, without whom the attacking potential has seriously weakened.
The Pelicans have looked weak in recent games, losing to Memphis (126:139) and Charlotte (92:123). The loss to the Hornets in particular was a wake-up call, as New Orleans looked absolutely helpless on offense, and the defense made many mistakes. Will Green is trying to rebuild the game, but at the moment the Pelicans look unprepared for serious resistance.
The match against Toronto will be away, which is also a negative factor, since the team plays extremely insecurely in away games.
Disqualifications and injuries
Herbert Jones and Brandon Ingram will not play in the next game due to injuries.
Interesting facts for betting
The Pelicans have won four games on the road this season.
Projected lineup: Williamson - Murphy, Missy - Hawkins, McCollum.

In 1 of the last 5 head-to-head games, more than 57 points were scored in the first quarter.
1.82Tip and bets
At the moment, Toronto looks preferable. The Canadian club, although it failed the season as a whole, has shown confident play in recent matches. The home parquet and the support of the stands are another plus for the hosts, who will certainly try to extend their winning streak.
In turn, New Orleans remains in crisis. Without Brandon Ingram, the team is weak in attack, and defensive mistakes lead to failures. On the road, the Pelicans do not shine, so they are unlikely to surprise the Raptors. In our opinion, the home team will continue their winning streak.
Our prediction is Toronto win with overtime at 1.80
Bet on total
In recent games, both teams have made mistakes in defense, but Toronto plays more confidently at home and will try to set the pace of the game. New Orleans is unlikely to sit back in defense, because the team needs to score points and break the losing streak. We expect open basketball with a lot of attacks, so the total in the game should be broken.
Betting Tip - total over 230 points for 1.76
Bet on statistics
The Raptors are playing at home, in good shape and have every chance to show themselves in attack against a weakened opponent. The team has gained confidence, and key players Barnes and Barrett are in the ranks. New Orleans is having difficulties with defense, which gives Toronto an excellent chance to play a productive match. In our opinion, the hosts will beat their individual total.
Prediction - Toronto individual total over 117 points for 1.90
