Do the sportsbook lines tell the whole story on Toronto-Charlotte? Tonight's contest at Scotiabank Arena, set to tip off at 7:30 p.m. EST tonight, is technically a pointless game between two teams who cannot make the NBA playoffs. Yet, there's no denying that the Raptors are the team playing like they still have something to prove. Charlotte seems content to go on another long losing streak to finish a disappointing season.
There may be no other NBA matchup in which Toronto would be close to a double-digit point spread pick. The Raptors may be coming off a victory in Brooklyn, but they haven't posted a quality win on Canadian hardwood since Feb. 2, when one of Jakob Poeltl's double-doubles helped Toronto trip the L.A. Clippers 115-108.
Charlotte's 124-100 loss to Memphis on Tuesday was not as close as the score indicates. The Memphis Grizzlies took a 15-point lead into the second quarter. Miles Bridges led the Hornets with a paltry 14 points.

Charlotte Hornets vs Toronto Raptors Predictions and Picks
Toronto flourished from the field in a 108-97 win over Charlotte on March 28. However, many of the Raptors' leading cagers that Friday, including Poeltl and Immanuel Quickley, are now on the injury list.
Don't anticipate that any "Senior Night" vibes are going to get an eliminated squad back together in Toronto. "Scottie Barnes and Jakob Poeltl are both questionable to play for the Toronto Raptors in the final home game (versus Charlotte) Wednesday," reports Aaron Rose of Toronto Raptors on SI.
Toronto's coach, Darko Rajakovic, should cook up a game plan to take the Raptors' customary lead on Bridges and his tanking Hornets. Beyond that, the clubs are likely to trade buckets and feel good walking away with no more injuries logged. Our pick is a prop bet on the Raptors to lead by five-plus after 12:00.
