The Raptors don’t have anything to play for today — aside for a chance to ruin Dwyane Wade’s afternoon. It’s their final home game of the regular season, and it’s at noon, which is a rather ungodly hour for a professional basketball game. At this point, Toronto just wants to stay healthy and sharp as they prepare for next weekend and Game 1 of their opening round series in the 2019 playoffs.
Well, actually, as I was reminded pre-game, Toronto does have one far out thing to compete for in the post-season: home court advantage in the Finals.
