It’s Quickley, Trent, Agbaji, Barrett and Olynyk for Toronto against McCollum, Jones, Ingram, Williamson and Valanciunas for New Orleans. That’s a significant size issue between the sides – 7:10 PM

Agbaji gets another start in the Barnes spot and Olynyk starts for Poeltl. It’s Quickley-Trent-Ochai-Barrett-KO vs NOLA. Pretty small lineup vs a big and very good Pelicans team. Should be… interesting. – 7:08 PM

Here’s a fun fact: the last time Zion Williamson played basketball in Canada it was for Duke against University of Toronto. RJ Barrett was his teammate. They won (Duke did). – 6:20 PM

Raptors Finger Updates: Poeltl seeing a specialist, no timetable available; Barnes is not being ruled out for the entire rest of the season but not not being ruled out, too. They’d love him to play a few games but they’re way, way from that determination, – 6:04 PM

Trey Murphy’s shooting slump appears over w/ two fantastic shooting displays in last three games, but did you know he’s been as dependable as they come in fourth quarters all season?
1st: 40.8 FG%/29.5 3PT%
2nd: 41.4 FG%/36.4 3PT%
3rd: 41.2 FG%/29.2 3PT%
4th: 49.4 FG%/46.3 3PT% – 4:17 PM

“I’ve wanted to be here since I was four years old.”
The Raptors wanted Kelly Olynyk, Kelly Olynyk wanted to be a Raptor, and getting an extension done early made good sense for both player and team: tsn.ca/nba/lewenberg-… pic.twitter.com/YlRmvHUnaX – 3:12 PM
