This is a favorable matchup for Pascal Siakam. Charlotte generally struggles against power forwards, who average 26.3 PPG against them this season. Siakam went over this line in their previous matchup this season at 25. With plenty of Charlotte players game-time decisions, and Miles Bridges likely unable to travel to Canada, this becomes an even more favorable matchup for Siakam.

This is the second time in 10 days that the Raptors will have played the Hornets. In their last meeting, Barnes scored 31 points over 36 minutes. Over his last seven games, he has scored at least 22 points five times. The Hornets have the worst defensive rating in the league, so I expect Barnes to have similar scoring success in their rematch.
