This season the Nets are 6-11 at home and the Raptors are 10-9 on the road.
Toronto Raptors
The Raptors are led by their defense, which ranks 5th in the league in opponents’ points allowed and they rank 19th in scoring. However, their D has struggled as of late giving up 115 and 122 points, respectively, in their last 2 games. In those games their opponents shot over 51% from the field .
This is the first meeting of the season between these 2 teams and the Nets have won the last 2 meetings.
The key to stopping the Raptors is playing solid perimeter defense on the guard dup of Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan, who are the 2 leading scorers for Toronto and each is averaging over 20 ppg.
One of the key match ups in this game is at the C position where Toronto’s Jonas Valanciunas (11.7 ppg 9.1 rpg) will ge facing Brooklyn’s Brook Lopez, who is the Nets leading scorer.

The Raptors had won 2 straight and 4 of their last 5 games before their recent 2 game skid.
Brooklyn Nets
No surprise the Nets are 14 games below .500 since they only rank 26th in the league in scoring and 21st in opponents’ points allowed.
The Nets suffered a big blow in their last game losing starting PG Jarrett Jack for the season with a knee injury.
While the Raprots are led by their backcourt the Nets are led by their frontcourt with the top 2 scorers being Lopez and PF Thaddeus Young, who are combining to average 35 ppg.
Jack is the 3rd leading scorer for the Nets and with him gone there is more pressure on Joe Johnson and Bojan Bogdanovic to take up the scoring slack.
