Toronto Raptors’ Scouting Report

The Toronto Raptor’s enter tonight’s contest on a three-game winning streak.  Their record this season is four wins and one loss.  They are one of the Eastern Conference’s top teams and their only loss this season is a three-point defeat to the Cleveland Cavaliers.   Below is a highlight video from that contest to give you a glimpse of what Toronto brings to the court.

DeMar DeRozan enters the contest as the Raptors’ leading scorer.  He has been on fire this season averaging 35.8 points per game on 55.1% from the field and 84.4% from the line.  Expect those numbers to regress, but facing that hot of a hand is never an ideal scenario.

The Raptors feature a strong roster anchored by two-time NBA All-Star and 2015-2016 All-NBA team member Kyle Lowry.  Lowry has started this season a little slow, but expect him to be manning the point and leading Toronto deep into the playoff this season.

The Raptors look strong this season and the Kings are catching them at a very bad time.  Here is to hoping Sacramento can slow down the red-hot Raptors in Toronto tonight.
