It’s your weekly rundown of Toronto Raptors games you’ll hear on Canada Talks (Channel 167). This week the Raptors have a jam-packed schedule, including a marquee matchup against a budding Canadian superstar…
The Raptors travel to Chicago to take on the Bulls and conclude a home-and-home series. Zach LaVine’s 3-point shooting has been elite to start the season, making over 40% on more than seven attempts per game. As always, DeMar DeRozan will look to put on a show against his former team.
Toronto hosts the struggling Houston Rockets in a matchup of franchises going in opposite directions. Jalen Green will try to break out of his sophomore slump but will have a tough time against O.G. Anunoby and Toronto’s top five defence.
All-star point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder face the Raptors Friday night. Gilgeous-Alexander and fellow Canadian Luguentz Dort lead the scoring charge for Oklahoma City and will seek to continue their torrent start to the year against Nick Nurse, their coach for Canada’s men’s Senior National team.
The Raptors travel to Indiana and tangle with the Pacers on the second night of back-to-back games. Their 6 ‘5 point guard Tyrese Haliburton is the lone bright spot of the Pacers’ season to date and they’ll be hoping the Raptors are fatigued playing their fourth game in six nights.
