Raptors Game Tonight: Raptors vs Nets Odds, Starting Lineup, Injury Report, Predictions, TV Channel for Dec. 14
By Mike Luciano
The Toronto Raptors were a Justin Champagnie tip-in at the buzzer away from winning five straight home games, as they have successfully made up ground after a poor West Coast road trip. Unfortunately, the latest Raptors odds don’t make it seem like they’ll pick up their fifth win in six tries.
Toronto will head to New York to tussle with Kevin Durant, James Harden, and the Brooklyn Nets on the second night of a back-to-back. Toronto has been playing well lately, but this team has tons of firepower.
The Nets are currently the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference even though Kyrie Irving has been barred from rejoining the team. Toronto needs to play a near-perfect game to overcome this level of firepower.
Will the Raptors stay hot after a win against Sacramento and upset the Nets? Will Brooklyn lean on their superior scoring talent and end up beating Toronto for the second time this season?
Brooklyn Nets vs Toronto Raptors Odds, Spread, Over/Under
The latest odds from WynnBET have Brooklyn as -8 favorites against the spread, with this squad -110 (bet $110 to win $100) to cover. Brooklyn is -340 on the moneyline, while Toronto checks at +280 (bet $100 to win $280).
The over-under in this contest is 216, with the under coming in at -110 and the over also listed at -110. With Toronto fresh off their best offensive half of the season and the Nets as good as they are, Vegas is expecting points.

Raptors Injury Report
In addition to the fact that OG Anunoby, Precious Achiuwa, and Khem Birch are still out, Dalano Banton will not make the trip to Brooklyn due to a non-COVID illness. This leaves the Raptors with just 10 players.
Toronto Raptors vs Brooklyn Nets Prediction
A fully-rested squad would have a very tough time taking down a Nets team with this much star power. Playing them on the second night of a back-to-back in Brooklyn just days after Durant dropped 51 points might not give Nick Nurse and the team a ton of confidence.
While the Raptors hung with the Nets, save for a nightmare third quarter in which everything got away from them, earlier in the season, playing this team with just 10 healthy players could lead to a very tough evening for Toronto.
Nets 113, Raptors 101
