Latest Odds : TOR -7 O/U 231
The Pelicans are heading into this game after picking up a nice winning streak of 5 games to end out the preseason. On the downside, the Pelicans have to figure out how to win without Zion Williamson, the highly touted rookie who has already been ruled out because of an injury.
The player that will have to step up for the Pelicans in the game will be JJ Redick who has done really well so far. However, the Pelicans have Jahlil Okafor as well who can battle for the boards under the net. At the point guard position the Pelicans have a couple of players who could help the team out between Lonzo Ball and Jrue Holiday to help nurture the younger player along.

Toronto finished the preseason without playing nearly as well as what they did to finish out the year. The Raptors went 2-2 in the preseason and that is definitely something the Raptors would like to improve on this year even more and coming into the regular season the Raptors have a good chance to bring home the win and that will definitely help the team out quite a bit.
One thing that the Raptors do have going for them is the lack of injuries that they have had in the past. The Raptors have managed to rely on a healthy roster again this year to start the season off and that will definitely give them a better chance of getting the win locked down. This year Serge Ibaka and Kyle Lowry come back to help lead the Raptors as they start the defense of the title.
