Playing on back-to-back nights is difficult in the NBA. It’s even worse when your plane arrives late.
Not only are the Raptors catching the Warriors on the second night of a back-to-back tonight, but due to mechanical issues with their plane, the Dubs didn’t arrive at their Toronto hotel until 715 am after their win over the Knicks at MSG last night.

That’s roughly twelve hours before the tipoff of the game between the Golden State Warriors and Toronto Raptors Friday night, where the team will also be without Andrew Wiggins or rookie Brandin Podziemski.
