The Toronto Raptors will have a short bench this weekend. Fred VanVleet, Pascal Siakam, OG Anunoby, Malachi Flynn, and Patrick McCaw are all in health and safety protocols and are unavailable this weekend.
Down three starters, the Raptors will have to turn to veterans and role-players as they play back-to-back games against the Charlotte Hornets and Chicago Bulls. The Raptors are listed at +2 against the Hornets tonight, with a total set at 234.
Toronto has used various lineups this season, so it’s unclear what the starting lineup with look like. Kyle Lowry and Norman Powell will figure prominently.
