Raptors

What would be another team’s nightmare could end up being a blessing in disguise for a young group in the first year of a rebuild, Josh Lewenberg writes.

RJ Barrett scored a season-high 39 points, Jakob Poeltl had 30 points and 15 rebounds for his third straight double-double as the Raptors snapped a seven-game losing streak. Pascal Siakam had 25 points and 10 rebounds against his former team as the Pacers lost for the third time in four games.

If you want to quickly find Ochai Agbaji during a Toronto Raptors game, just look for the other team's best player. He's likely guarding them.

A bright spot for the lowly Toronto Raptors has been the play of sophomore swingman Gradey Dick. He had a career-high 32 points in Toronto's 99-85 loss to the Bucks in Milwaukee. He's second only to RJ Barrett of Mississauga, Ont., on the team in scoring with 20.1 points per game.

Gradey Dick has surprised many around the NBA with his quick progression in his second season, including his own teammate, Ochai Agbaji. Head coach Darko Rajakovic has noticed the variety he has added to his game while Dick says his energy on the court has been important for him.

Ochai Agbaji has been enjoying a breakout season for the Raptors which has been a bright spot in an otherwise difficult start to the season for Toronto. Agbaji has scored in double digits in all but three games this season and his inclusion in the starting lineup has given him a chance to set the tone.

Norman Powell is having a career season for the Los Angeles Clippers, and a game against his former team in the Raptors shouldn't slow his pace. TSN's Wesley Cheng takes a look at the betting odds as the Raptors take on the Clippers.

Toronto Raptors rookie guard Ja'Kobe Walter re-sprained his AC joint and will be held out at least a week, reports TSN's Josh Lewenberg. Lewenberg adds Walter will then be re-evaluated from there.
