The Toronto Raptors face off against the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday. This is their first game since Saturday. Here are three things to watch for.

The Toronto Raptors are having a solid season so far. With a record of 12-7, they find themselves currently sitting at fourth in the Eastern Conference.

Tonight they are facing off against the Charlotte Hornets, a team that has shown they can beat top-tier teams. They have been able to pick up wins against the Milwaukee Bucks and Minnesota Timberwolves this season.

For tonight’s game, the Hornets will more than likely be without Kemba Walker, who is probably their most important player. This means that the Raptors should have no problem getting the win tonight, especially since they are at home where they have a record of 6-1 so far this season.

If they are able to win this game, that will bring their record 13-7. It is also worth noting that they are 7-3 in their last 10 games.

Before tonight’s action, let’s break down three things to watch out for during the game from the Raptors.
