The Raptors are prioritizing playoff seeding ahead of rest entering the final week and a half of the NBA regular season.
INDIANAPOLIS—The end of the NBA regular season is in sight but the Toronto Raptors still have things to do and big games to play so there isn’t going to be an awful lot of rest.
The Raptors, with four games left after a date with the Indiana Pacers here Tuesday night, are in fight with the Washington Wizards for third in the Eastern Conference and will also have a say in how the bottom of the playoff seedings will shake out, giving coach Dwane Casey every reason to keep using his regulars.
