Head-to-Head:

Both teams are already eliminated from playoff contention, but this game provides an opportunity for young players to shine. Toronto has the advantage on paper with a solid mix of veteran leadership and depth. San Antonio, on the other hand, has been struggling, particularly on defense, making this a tough game for them to close out with a win.

Toronto Raptors Breakdown:

The Raptors come into this game with a 30-51 record, sitting 11th in the Eastern Conference. They’ve lost 4 of their last 7 games and are not performing at a high level. However, their depth—especially from young players off the bench—gives them an edge in this matchup. RJ Barrett leads the team with 21.1 PPG, and Toronto will likely rely on their strong bench to pull this one out. With both teams out of playoff contention, Toronto's depth and effort should be enough to get them the win here.

Key Players:

  • RJ Barrett: 21.1 PPG

  • Scottie Barnes: 11.2 PPG

  • Jamal Shead: 5.8 APG

San Antonio Spurs Breakdown:

San Antonio is entering this game with a 33-48 record, having lost 8 of their last 10 games. They are playing without much to gain in the standings, and their defense has been poor, allowing an average of 119.9 points per game. Stephon Castle, the likely Rookie of the Year, continues to impress with 18.4 PPG and 7.2 APG, but the Spurs have been unable to string together consistent performances.

Key Players:

  • Stephon Castle: 18.4 PPG, 7.2 APG

  • Harrison Barnes: 3.0 (52.6%) 3PT
