Brooklyn Nets vs Toronto Raptors Prediction 4/12/2026 Today’s NBA Picks

The Brooklyn Nets and the Toronto Raptors collide at the Scotiabank Arena on Sunday night. Here’s a Brooklyn Nets vs. Toronto Raptors Prediction. This article will include a Brooklyn Nets vs. Toronto Raptors Pick.

Brooklyn Nets Betting Preview 

The Brooklyn Nets have been in rough shape as they’ve lost 14 of their last 17 games overall and they will be hoping to avoid a third straight defeat after getting trampled by the Bucks in a 125-108 loss on Friday. Tyson Etienne led the team with 23 points; Malachi Smith added 19 points with eight rebounds and 10 assists, while Ben Saraf chipped in with 15 points.

As a team, the Nets shot 45 percent from the field and 18 of 45 from the 3-point line as they got off to a terrible start and were always fighting an uphill battle after leaking 38 points in the first quarter to fall into an immediate double-digit deficit. The Nets never led at any stage and trailed by as many as 23 points in another blowout defeat. 

Toronto Raptors Betting Preview 

Meanwhile, the Toronto Raptors have been in decent form as they’ve split their last 10 games, but they will be eager to bounce back in this one after having their two-game win streak snapped by the Knicks in a 112-95 road defeat on Friday. Sandro Mamukelashvili led the team with 17 points off the bench; Brandon Ingram added 16 points with six assists, while Scottie Barnes and Ja’Kobe Walter each scored 15 points.

As a team, the Raptors shot 49 percent from the field and 10 of 25 from the 3-point line as they struggled for offense early on and scored just 15 points in the second quarter to fall behind by 15 points at halftime, which was a shame because the Raptors were much more competitive in the second half but the damage was already done.

Brooklyn Nets vs Toronto Raptors Prediction

The Nets are still missing Michael Porter Jr., Nic Claxton, Ziaire Williams, Noah Clowney and Terance Mann, while the Raptors are keeping an eye on Collin Murray-Boyles and RJ Barrett. The Raptors have already beaten the Nets twice this season, but the Nets won the last meeting by 96-81 back on Dec 21. The Raptors haven’t been at their best lately, but surely they can get some revenge against the Nets, who don’t even have winning as a priority in this contest.
