The Raptors are rolling again. After a brief slip-up against the Bucks they appear to have gotten right back into the swing of things, as they’ve won each of their last three games by substantial margins. The short win streak has put them at 9-1, leading the East and tied with Golden State for the best record in the entire league. And tonight, they’ll presumably once again field a full healthy roster for the just second time this season, as their win last night in Los Angeles came absent Kawhi Leonard.
Even if Leonard does suit up tonight against a Jazz team that has laboured out of the gate (they’ve started 4-5) the Raptors may need some serendipity to walk away with the win.
