Welcome back to “Every Game is the Most Important Game of the Season”! The Toronto Raptors, who currently sit 2.5 games ahead of the now nearly-full-health Brooklyn Nets, are primed to take on the team that currently sits one game ahead of them, the Cleveland Cavaliers. Not only do the Cavs sit a game ahead of Toronto, they also reside in the final, guaranteed playoff seed. To say the Raptors need this one would be an understatement, as a 1-game play-in would be best avoided.
Both teams come into the game banged up.
