The Raptors have now lost 12 games in a row, and suffer their second 40+ point loss in March.
The Toronto Raptors welcomed the New York Knicks and some friendly faces to Toronto tonight as the Raptors tried to avoid 12 straight losses and the Knicks tried to hop into the third seed in the Eastern Conference.
Unfortunately for fans, O.G. Anunoby was ruled out of the game due to his elbow injury, but he was still in attendance and welcomed back enthusiastically.
Also unfortunately for fans, the Raptors did lose their 12th straight game.

Only one player involved in the Raptors/Knicks trade from December will be in attendance for tonight’s game.
Surely a lot of people had tonight’s game between the Toronto Raptors and New York Knicks circled on the calendar... but unfortunately it will not be the reunion fans were hoping for.
This is the first time the Knicks have been to Toronto since the trade that sent O.G. Anunoby, Precious Achiuwa and Malachi Flynn to New York in exchange for RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley and a second round draft pick.
Due to injuries and other circumstances, only one player fr ..read more

The Jontay Porter situation was inevitable, it just coincidentally happened to a Raptors player first. The real question is larger: Is gambling causing the sports community to become more toxic?
CW: gambling, addiction, toxic masculinity.
Is the legalization and integration of sports betting into mainstream sports media leading to increased toxic masculinity in the sports community?
Okay, I understand this isn’t an undergrad liberal arts course, but hear me out for a second. It’s International Women’s Month, after all. As a woman in the sports space, I face t ..read more

It will be a battle between the 11th and 12th teams in the Eastern Conference tonight as the Nets visit the Raptors
The Toronto Raptors are back home tonight to host the Brooklyn Nets for the first of three home games to end off the month of March. In the course of one month, the Raptors have only won one game (against Charlotte), and have lost their entire core to injuries and absences.
This of course, came after a near full-team rebuild after the Raptors traded eight players prior to this year’s deadline. The Nets have been going through a similar rebuildin ..read more

Time for a win: a league-worst defence could be the perfect opportunity for the undermanned Raps
The Toronto Raptors will take a single game road trip to face the Washington Wizards in their second matchup of the season. In the first game, back in December, the roster looked significantly different, so despite a dominant 30-point victory the last time around, the playing field has been significantly leveled since their last meeting. Both teams are missing players due to injury and populating the bottom 6 teams in league standings, so this matchup is largely about pl ..read more

Toronto has a tough task ahead of them as the Western Conference-leading Oklahoma City Thunder are in town.
The Raptors are huge underdogs tonight — in fact, the largest underdogs they’ve ever been at home — thanks to a depleted roster and having to face one of the NBA’s best teams.
The Oklahoma City Thunder currently sit atop the Western Conference and second overall in the league, as Canada’s very own Shai Gilgeous-Alexander leads them with an MVP-worthy season.
The young Thunder are on the verge of their first playoff appearance since the 2020 NBA Bubble ..read more

Lots of Canadian talent on display tonight when the Toronto Raptors host the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Every time a Canada Basketball standout faces the Toronto Raptors at Scotiabank Arena, the team takes a moment to celebrate them. There will be two of those tonight with Oklahoma City in town, and one may even garner some MVP chants.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of Hamilton, Ontario and Lu Dort of Montreal, Quebec are both standout players for the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Dort, an undrafted wing out of Arizona State, is known as one of the best defenders in the NBA ..read more

The Raptors host the Kings for their final matchup of the season.
The Toronto Raptors will try to defend home court tonight when the Sacramento Kings visit for the final matchup between these two clubs this season.
The Raptors have only played one game at home in the past two weeks, hosting Orlando last Friday before taking off to visit them for a home-and-home weekend. Hopefully, returning back to Scotiabank Arena for a two game stretch will lead to better results for the Raptors.
The team has dropped seven straight games for their longest losing st ..read more

Toronto welcomes a pair of Western Conference giants before flying to Washington for a game against some Generals
I consider myself a fair man.
I’m not one to cheat or lie. I pay my taxes every year. If someone drops their wallet, I’ll try to locate them and return the lost item (without looking at the cash pocket).
So, when I started putting this weekly piece together and mulling over the outcomes of the games ahead, it felt like the Prediction section was a dropped wallet.
To keep my honour — and dial up the difficulty — I’m altering the predictions to ac ..read more

Nwora and Trent Jr. have strong performances, but it’s not enough to overcome the inspired Orlando team
The Toronto Raptors closed out the series with the Orlando Magic, falling for the third time, and seventh straight. The shorthanded roster continues to try to make the best of a bad situation, taking their opportunities to learn and develop as the season starts to wane.
For Toronto, Jordan Nwora and Gary Trent Jr. were the dominant performers. Nwora had good defensive effort throughout the game, and led the Raptors with 18-7. GTJ chipped in with 15-5-3 and 2 ste ..read more
