The Toronto Raptors are... good? Okay, maybe not good good, but better than we thought! Between injuries to Scottie Barnes, Immanuel Quickley and now Gradey Dick, the Raptors have not had a healthy starting lineup this season. They traded away their best players of the last few seasons and are ostensibly in full rebuild mode.
And yet, after a few weeks of moral victories resulting mostly in actual losses, the return of Scottie Barnes has pushed some of those results into the win column, with the Raptors winning five of their last eight games.
