Toronto Raptors vs Brooklyn Nets Prediction
The Toronto Raptors have been one of the best preseason teams dating back to last season, with wins in 7 of their last 9 games. The Raptors are also shooting healthy this preseason and have a lot of back of the rotation players who are showing off a bit. The Brooklyn Nets haven’t played much defense this preseason, and their results are spotty across the board. Even on the road, the Raptors have been the more impressive team, so I’ll lay the bucket on Friday night.
