Toronto Raptors vs New Orleans Pelicans Prediction

The New Orleans Pelicans are favored simply because the Raptors can't win games, but I'm not laying chalk with a team this banged up. Also, the Raptors aren't winning, but they're 12-6 ATS on the season. The Raptors have been in endless close games this season and could easily be sitting with a better record with a bounce here or there. Also, the Pels haven't won a game in almost two weeks, so there's not much difference. Give me the points.
