Recap of Game 2

The Raptors defeated the Nets 30-19 in the final quarter to get a hard-battled 104-99 win on Wednesday. We anticipated that the Nets would play far superior to in Game 1, and they nearly stunned the Raptors.

Fred VanVleet and Norman Powell drove the Raptors with 24 points each, and Kyle Lowry included 21 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, and two takes in a noteworthy exertion.

Toronto Raptors

The Raptors needed to remain sound all through the seeding games, and they did precisely that. They made sure about the second spot in the Eastern Conference all the while. The exertion level and intensity that this team shows on each game are honorable.

This team has a profound list, recognition, chemistry, and experience. Fred VanVleet, Pascal Siakam, and Kyle Lowry all played very well in the regular season, and they generally delivered in defining moments.

Serge Ibaka, Terence Davis II, Norman Powell, and OG Anunoby all recognize their positions and play them flawlessly. Concerning Marc Gasol, he showed up at Orlando doing an amazing job.

Gasol and Anunoby are the two-star players of the Raptors. Gasol played exceptionally well in the seeding games, yet he battled in Game 2, going scoreless shortly, missing the two shots he endeavored.

The Raptors were outscored by 13 when he was on the court, and he got only rebounds. Gasol needs to play much better.

OG Anunoby (in addition to 1.9 Defensive Box Plus/Minus) significance on defense is unchallenged. He achieved two steals, and two blocks on Wednesday, and keeping in mind that his offense stepped forward in the regular season, he scored only six points.

Anunoby arrived at the midpoint of a career-high 10.6 points per game this season. More stability from him would make the Raptors significantly more dangerous.

Lead trainer Nick Nurse as of late said that teams could set out Anunoby to beat them, which is the reason he needs him to get a couple of more reps unpalatable.

Brooklyn Nets

Very few anticipated that the Nets should end up being seventh in the Eastern Conference and go 5-3 in the seeding games. The Nets are without Spencer Dinwiddie (in addition to 2.6 Offensive Box Plus/Minus), DeAndre Jordan (in addition to 2.8 Box Plus/Minus), Wilson Chandler (in addition to 1.0 Defensive Box Plus/Minus), and Nicolas Claxton.

As drained as the Nets seem to be, they sweep the opponents of their feet, and they showed that in Game 2. Without a second thought, Caris LeVert has been Brooklyn's top-notch player in the NBA. His scoring capacity has never been addressed. Notwithstanding, the Nets likewise required him to be their primary point man, and he accentuated and achieved a team-high 6.7 assists in the eight seeding games.

LeVert had an excellent season, averaging career highs of 18.7 points, 4.1 assists, and 4.2 rebounds in 29.6 minutes over 41 games (35 starts). Moreover, he shot a career-best 36.4 percent from a 3-point range and a breath-taking 42.5 percent from the field.

Brooklyn is something beyond LeVert yet what he can do without wanting to decide whether these series endure more than four games.

Prediction

We assure you with confidence that the Raptors are the better team, and we have explained it here quite well. The question here is, would they be able to cover it?

It is expected that Caris LeVert needs to improve his game. We saw in Game 2 LeVert had 16 points, 11 assists, and 6 rebounds, but dismally he missed his 3-point attempts and was only 5-for-22 from the field. His shot determination needs to improve all together, or the Nets won't have the option to keep up with the Raptors.

The Nets are in dire need of LeVert's scoring. They also can't bear to miss eight free-throws following 27 3-pointers. Taking into account everything, our NBA picks are Raptors 120, Nets 105.
