Prediction: Raptors in 4
Make no mistake about this, the Nets are going to make this series uncomfortable for the Raptors. Even though Brooklyn has been absolutely gutted by injuries, the Nets have proven in the NBA’s restart bubble that they’re not just going to roll over. Led by Caris LeVert, this is a team that has come together as of late.
Interim head coach Jacque Vaughn has done a great job in bringing the team together and competing with the players that they still have on its active roster. In the end, though, Brooklyn’s fight and spirit won’t be enough to overcome the onslaught that the Raptors have. And that’s perfectly fine.
I’m not even sure many expect the Nets to do much in this series anyways. Toronto will win this series in four games. With that said, it wouldn’t surprise me if the Nets won a game or two in this series. Brooklyn went 5-3 in the bubble and had impressive wins over the Bucks and Clippers.
The Raptors start on the right foot as they prepare for a deep playoff run. Toronto in 4.
