Maybe it’s just me, but it is becoming very challenging to write these game previews. Less because the Raptors are losing games — despite last night’s victory — and more because it’s unclear who on the roster will or won’t be playing for various reasons.
Twenty-four hours before tipping off against Cleveland last night — a game the Raptors won 135-115 — Kyle Lowry was questionable, then downgraded to doubtful and ultimately did not play because of his lingering foot injury. Fred VanVleet (hip) and Pascal Siakam (rest) were also out last night, along with some of Toronto’s other bench players.
