The Toronto Raptors entered this game without CJ Miles and Norman Powell, but have Kawhi Leonard return from injury. Toronto has not been 100% healthy as a group in a long time and Nick Nurse has had to juggle the lineups and keep the train chugging along. The Sacramento Kings are no slouch of a team as they have the highest pace in the NBA, but are also above .500 which has not happened in a long time. The Raptors turned the ball constantly and did not shoot the 3-ball well, but their defense and rebounding kept them in the game and eventually win. Pascal Siakam has scored in double-digits in 7 straight games and is emerging in front of our eyes. Another solid game from the Raptors frontcourt: Siakam (21pts), Leonard (25pts & 11rebs), Ibaka (14 pts & 14 rebs), JV (11 pts & 10 rebs). Tune in to the RaptorsRapUp for the full breakdown.

The Toronto Raptors were mathematically eliminated from the playoffs and had nothing to play for in tonight's game. Nick Nurse decided to roll with the young guys and look for development. They started and fought hard until the fourth quarter where the deficit kept on extending. Kawhi was in the zone from the tip and led his team to the easy blowout.

The Toronto Raptors have not gone into overtime all season until now. The Washington Wizards and Toronto Raptors always have great games against each other. This lived up to the expectations. An overtime shootout where defense was nowhere to be found and triple doubles were involved and including game tying shots and career tying nights. All of it in a great game where two teams were also battling to see who would make to the playoff play-in game. Lots of stakes on this game. Tune in for all the details on the RaptorsRapUp podcast.

The Toronto Raptors faced off against the Los Angeles Lakers. Both teams are short-handed and the Raptors on a back-to-back. Raptors came out flat and the Lakers jumped on them early. Marc Gasol dissected the Raptors in the first 12 minutes. He showed off all his skills and looked like exactly what the Raptors are lacking this season. But this entire game was in the shadows because of the scuffle between the two teams. Tune in for all the details. Like, share and subscribe to the RaptorsRapUp podcast.

The Raptors steal an important playoff seeding game against the Washington Wizards thanks to the heroics of the newcomer, Gary Trent Jr!!! The young kid got the rebound and while hounded by the Wizards still pulled off a well balanced three point shot off and nailed it. It was beautiful to watch and this will be one of those moments later in the season where you look back at and notice that is when this team started to gel together better.

The Toronto Raptors absolutely crushed the Golden State Warriors. It was a close game after the first quarter but it was soon a laugher in the second half. The lead ballooned to as much as 61 points in the third quarter before the Raptors threw in their bench guys to finish off most of the second half. Great dominating win over the undermanned Golden State Warriors. Tune in for all the records that were broken. Like, share and subscribe to the RaptorsRapUp.

The Toronto Raptors faced off against the rebuilding Oklahoma City Thunder. The Thunder have multiple injuries and resting their veterans to evaluate their young talent going forward. They were without four starters and the Raptors were without Kyle Lowry. However, the Raptors came up embarrassingly short of a win once again. So many problems and not much to look forward to.

The Toronto Raptors lose to the 20-losing streak Houston Rockets in a blowout. This is the rock bottom for this team and it doesn't seem like this team will be together for much longer. The trade deadline is a couple days away and Powell and Lowry are on the block. The Rockets couldn't sniff a win during this stretch but took care of the Raptors handily. Nurse and Siakam experiencing some conflict behind the scenes doesn't help. Tune in for the full breakdown and analysis.
