Both teams are coming off of wins, but the Raptors have been up and down since Kyle Lowry’s injury– mostly down. Toronto has lost three of their last five, and Oklahoma City is riding a three-game win streak.
Toronto has home court, but that is usually meaningless in the last few meetings between these teams.
