The Toronto Raptors have lost three straight games to teams they shouldn’t have, and now get to host the red-hot San Antonio Spurs, who have won 11 of their last 14.
A win for the Raptors against such a strong Spurs team would be just what the doctor ordered to get them back on track, but that won’t be easy.
This will be the first of two games that All-Star DeMar DeRozan is expected to miss with a sprained ankle, and the team has already been without their glue guy, Patrick Patterson, for six straight games.
