We’ll get to celebrate another homecoming of sorts tonight as the Toronto Raptors host the Houston Rockets. Former Raptor Fred VanVleet and Canadian Dillon Brooks will both be welcomed as they face off against the home team. The Raptors enter this matchup on a six-game losing skid, still battling injuries, while Houston continues to see success, winning 3 of their last 4 games.
It’s not all bad for the Raptors despite their record, as we continue to see lots of encouraging things from the younger talent on the roster. Ja’Kobe Walter continues to impress, with an intriguing midrange game, some solid corner shooting and decent defence.
