27 and 75.
27 games and some combination of 75-105 ping pong balls will help determine the next stage of the Toronto Raptors’ rebuilding process.
As things currently stand, the Raptors hold the 5th-best lottery odds. That’s not a bad position to be in, considering Toronto’s “torrid” January where the Raptors posted a ** gasp ** winning record (8-7).
Every team chasing the Raptors for more lottery balls have recently improved their odds. Brooklyn traded away Dennis Schroder and Dorian Finney-Smith, before waiving Ben Simmons. Philadelphia continues tripping over its own feet. Chicago (finally) traded away Zach Lavine.
