In the midst of a home stand, the Toronto Raptors will host the Phoenix Suns for their first of two matchups this season. The last three years, they’ve split, with each team taking one win. Toronto will come into this game with both a home court advantage and a rest advantage as Phoenix travels after a win in Chicago last night.
Toronto is coming into this matchup after a challenging overtime loss to Miami. Despite strong performances from Barrett and Quickley, Scottie had an injury scare and only managed to cash in 13 points. Rookies Shead and Walter helped from the bench substantially, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the Heat.
