Before you make making any Nets vs. Raptors picks, you NEED to check out the NBA predictions from the SportsLine Projection Model.

The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every NBA game 10,000 times and has returned well over $10,000 in profit on its top-rated NBA picks over the past three-plus seasons. The model enters Week 9 of the 2021-22 NBA season on a stunning 44-20 roll on all top-rated NBA picks, returning over $2,000. Anyone following it has seen HUGE returns.

The model knows the Nets have a powerful offense led by Kevin Durant and James Harden. Durant scored a league season-best 51 points in a Sunday win against the Pistons as Harden took his first day off this season. Harden is second in the league in assists per game (9.6) while Durant scores a league-high 29.4 points per contest and Harden chips in 20.8. The Nets are first in the NBA in three-point defense (30.8 percent) and second overall (42.8). 

The model also knows the Raptors have five players averaging at least 15 points per game, although top scorer OG Anunoby (20.1) is out indefinitely. Still, Fred VanVleet is averaging 19.7 and has been grinding it out as the team deals with injuries that have sapped its depth. He leads the NBA in playing time at more than 38 minutes per game. The Raptors are 9-2 straight-up in their last 11 visits to Brooklyn, and they play aggressive defense and get 9.1 steals per game (third in NBA). They only allow 104.6 points per game, which ranks sixth in the league.
