The Raptors are coming into this game with a 17-32 record this season and they have not been playing well in their recent games. They have lost their last 2 straight as well as 7 of their last 8 games. They have been losing a lot of games in that span against teams with losing records as they have not had the toughest schedule recently and they have also been awful on the road this season as they are 7-19 on the road and have lost 7 of their last 8 games on the road as well. They are also coming into this game in an awful spot as they are playing this game on a B2B with it also being their 3rd game in the last 4 days, and their game last night against the Thunder went to overtime as well so fatigue is going to settle in late for the Raptors in this game. They are going up against a Pelicans team that is 28-21 this season and has been playing much better in their recent games. They have won their last 2 straight after losing 3 straight and they are well rested for this game as well having last played on Friday. This is also their 1st game back at home from a 4 game road trip and they have been rested since Friday so they will be hungry to come out strong here at home and get rolling as they try to climb the standings in the Western Conference. The Pelicans are well rested at home and catching the Raptors in an awful spot here which will affect them later in this game. The Pelicans will cover the spread in this game.
