- Boston lost last night as did Cleveland, so a Toronto victory today would be just what the doctor ordered to gain some ground in the race for the #1 spot.
- No word on whether Patrick Patterson or Bebe will be available tonight. Patterson has only played 2 games in January since injuring his knee the last time these two squads met. And Bebe got pegged in the eye in Brooklyn and has been dealing with blurred vision. Phoenix might be without Jared Dudley, but other than that their squad is healthy
- Though Phoenix are at the bottom of the Western conference they cannot be taken lightly. They always give Toronto a tough time and have a tall squad with guys like Chandler, Len, Chriss and Bender, it will be tough for the Raptors to match their height. Expect Siakam to get the start.
- FORMER RAPTOR ALERT: The Brazilian Blur himself is back and i'm sure he'll get a warm welcome from the Toronto fans. Barbosa made his way to Toronto when Phoenix first traded him away for the troubled Hedo Turkoglu back in 2010. Barbosa played a few years with Toronto and won us over with his hustle and his infectious smile. We eventually traded him to Indiana for a draft pick that im not sure we used yet. Barbosa would bounce around from Indiana to Boston, back to Phoenix, before landing in Golden State where he helped his team win the Championship back in 2015.
Tonight's Raptor Track!
