Raptors Look to Avoid Sweep Against Nets
Facing a potential sweep at the hands of the Nets, the Raptors must overcome the NBA betting odds this Friday. Toronto dropped its last three meetings against Brooklyn and is in the midst of a shooting slump. We’ll have to go back to the 2002-03 season to find the last time the Nets swept the season series against the Raptors.
Let’s check the latest NBA odds, stats, injury reports, and NBA lines for Nets vs Raptors. We’ve plenty of NBA betting odds for you to consider.
Also check on these NBA betting lines.
Vaughn Has Nets Playing Like Contenders
It has been quiet at the Nets’ front. And no news is the best news for this franchise. Since Jacques Vaughn took over for Steve Nash, Brooklyn has played like a title contender on the online sports betting odds. Brooklyn is in the top 10 in net rating and its defense is the best it has been in the Kevin Durant-Kyrie Irving era.
Speaking of Irving, the combo guard has played well since he returned from suspension: 24.2 points on 50 percent shooting. Most notably, he’s engaged in the Nets’ rededicated focus on two-way basketball. The availability of Ben Simmons also helps and Brooklyn is one of a handful of NBA teams that have most, if not all, of their players active.
Heading to Toronto, the Nets have won eight of their last nine games. On the spread, Brooklyn is just shy of .500 (14-15). But this is a stark improvement from where they were last season – a 38.8 percent cover rate (33-52-2), the second-worst mark in the league.

Deja Vu For Toronto
At 13-15, the Raptors are exactly where they were last season or even two seasons ago. Of course, those two campaigns ended differently. But given this team’s makeup, it is more like Toronto will finish strong. Scottie Barnes, last year’s Rookie of the Year, is in a “slump.”

But if slumps look like that, the Raptors will take it. Toronto is also bricking its 3-point shooting (32 percent). Only two other teams are shooting worse from deep than Toronto. The Raptors have played 13 games where they hit fewer than 30 percent. They went 4-9 in those contests.
Still, this team now has Pascal Siakam and Fred VanVleet healthy. Toronto is still developing and working out the growing pains. But as an underdog, the Raptors are worth betting online.

Nets vs Raptors Picks & Prediction
Given how well Brooklyn is playing and how ugly Toronto’s shooting has been, the betting lines favor the Nets. While Toronto will be scrappy in this matchup, Brooklyn has been much different since Vaugn took over. The Nets dominated Toronto in their last meeting in Brooklyn and will get the better of them again even with a swap in courts.
