With a 37-18 record on the season and a 17-5 mark since the start of 2016, the Raptors are firmly in the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference standings and rank in the top-10 in both offensive efficiency and defensive efficiency.
These accomplishments so far are absolutely worthy of praise. The Raptors aren't perfect, though, and the most pressing area of improvement right now is pretty obvious after looking at the team's individual plus-minus total over since Jan. 1.
| PLAYER | MINS (GP) | +/- |
| 602 (22) | 220 | |
| 558 (22) | 166 | |
| 543 (22) | 140 | |
| 429 (22) | 136 | |
| 847 (22) | 110 | |
| 780 (22) | 34 | |
| 582 (22) | 32 | |
| 305 (17) | 4 | |
| 441 (22) | -69 |
The Raptors have just one player that's a minus during that span, and it's not particularly close.
