The Toronto Raptors have a golden opportunity to make up some ground on the two teams ahead of them tonight. That’s because those two teams — the Cleveland Cavaliers and he Chicago Bulls — are playing each other while the Raptors host the Indiana Pacers.
If the Bulls win, and the Raptors win, Toronto will leapfrog the Cavs for sixth. And if the Cavs win, and the Raptors win, Toronto will be tied, record-wise, with the Bulls for sixth (Chicago hold the tiebreaker).
So, a loss would be a costly one!
