Toronto Raptors vs Charlotte Hornets Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 11/29/25

Brandon Ingram to Toronto is turning out to be quite the Cinderella story, at least for now. Canada’s only team occupies 2nd place in the East with a 14-5 SU record, they are one of the biggest overachievers so far through the first quarter of the regular season. They are heavy favorites once again on Saturday, as they make the trip to Charlotte to face the Hornets. This will be the 2nd time these two teams play each other, a little over a week ago Toronto won by only 2 points at home thanks to RJ Barrett who came up big in the clutch. He won’t be available in Saturday’s game, so it’ll be interesting to see how the Raptors handle business here.

Charlotte is playing on a 2nd night of a back-to-back here, so far this season they’ve split their 4 games when playing in this scenario. The two wins came against Washington and Utah, both lottery teams. The Hornets did surprise a lot of people last night with a win over the high scoring Chicago Bulls. Miles Bridges, Brandon Miller and Collin Sexton all scored over 20 points, showing that this team has the scoring potential on select nights. Tonight they go from facing the 23rd to facing the 4th best defense, scoring on these Raptors has proven to be quite difficult for the rest of the NBA.

On paper, Toronto looks like a fairly safe bet here. They have the rest advantage and are on a 9-game win streak winning by an average of 11.5 points which is only 2nd to the Oklahoma City Thunder during this stretch. They also have the superior head-to-head record with 6 wins in 7 meetings, they’ve also covered in 10 of 15 against Charlotte. I’ll take the Raptors on Saturday.
