Game 59: Jazz at Raptors

After a grizzly game against the Pistons on Sunday the Raptors are back at home tonight to kick off a 7 game homestand against the Utah Jazz


  • Kyle Lowry rested and sat out Sunday's game. I fully expect Lowry to back on the court and bring the intensity to this game that he is known for
  • The Jazz are in a battle in the West right now as they are currently 1 game back from the last playoff position that is 8th place, behind the Rockets. Expect the Jazz to come out in full force tonight
  • Though their force won't be totally full as they'll be without Dante Exum. Alec Burks and Trevor Booker are both questionable to play tonight as well
  • On Monday the Raptors waived Anthony Bennett and signed Jason Thompson for the remainder of the season. Bennett has had a tough NBA life from having the spotlight thrust upon him by being chosen as #1 by Cleveland in 2013 and then bouncing around a few teams before Toronto decided to pick him up. There was just not enough playing time for him to develop and Thompson is an already established player. Fare thee well Bennett! Good luck with all your future endeavors!
Tonight's Raptor Track!

Canned Heat - "Utah"

Canned Heat have had about a million members since their inception back in the Sixties. Technically a rock band, they have been known to incorporate aspects of blues, folk and bluegrass music into their songs. "Utah" is the final track off their 1971 album Historical Figures and Ancient Heads.
