In their last meeting, the Raptors took down the Cleveland Cavaliers by a 20 point margin. Coach Nick Nurse elected to start Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and bring OG Anunoby off the bench to snap both players out of funks.
In Anunoby’s case, he responded swiftly with 12 points, connecting on 2 of 3 perimeter shots and was more active in general. Hollis-Jefferson scored 14.
Kyle Lowry continues to lead the team looking every bit the player who garnered repeated All-Star nods and scored a team high 24 in the win over the Cavaliers.
Terence Davis registered 19 points tying a career-high while Fred VanVleet scored 12 points. Serge Ibaka chipped in a double-double of 20 points and 10 rebounds.
Patrick McCaw got injured on the first play which appeared to be his leg but the report lists an arm issue although it’s a moot point as he’s listed as probable.
Pascal Siakam (groin), Norm Powell (shoulder), Marc Gasol (hamstring) all remain out as do Dewan Hernandez (ankle) and Matt Thomas (broken finger).
Miami Heat
The Heat posted the second best record in December tying the Thunder with 11 wins and four losses and ranked behind only the Bucks for the month.
Miami had won five in a row and nine of their last 11 entering their match Monday versus the short handed Wizards. It was a classic trap game although five Heat players scored in double figures.
