Raptors vs Suns

Looking to avoid a new losing streak, can the Raptors steal one against a Suns team missing key players?

Are team meetings and film sessions enough to overcome the flaws we’ve seen throughout December? Devin Booker is out at least a month with a groin injury (we know about those all too well), while key rotation players Cam Johnson, Cameron Payne and Landry Shamet are also out in Toronto tonight. Question the tactics if you want, but crisis alarms are clearly ringing in the Raptors’ locker room as they sit 15-20 and outside the playoffs as the season nears its halfway point.

When you think of the Raptors, you think of high energy, smart defense, and being well-coached. I just don’t know how you can feel good about backing the Raptors until they show some semblance of consistency. The Raps are also playing the second half of a back-to-back and yet, they are still favored in tonight’s matchup against the Phoenix Suns. Over the last 10 games, the Raptors have ranked 28th in the NBA in defensive rating. the Suns. The All-NBA forward is doing his best to keep this Raps ship afloat. Over those five games, they’ve allowed the likes of Rui Hachimura to go for 30 points, Nikola Jokic to put up 41, Jaren Jackson Jr. The team is coming off an ugly loss to the Grizzlies and has dropped eight of its last 10 overall. Most notably, star guard Devin Booker is out for several weeks with an injury — but can Toronto take advantage of the situation?
