The Raptors and Heat face off for the second time in three days. How will two of the league’s top head coaches, Nick Nurse and Erik Spoelstra, adjust their rotations and tactics?
A rematch of last year’s playoff series, where Toronto put a scare into Philly but came up short in 6 games. James Harden looks reinvigorated to start the season, and the Raptors will need to find a way to slow down lighting fast guard Tyrese Maxey. Toronto has been starting a small lineup and defending big men with Scottie Barnes; we’ll see how he does against 7-foot superstar Joel Embid.
The Raptors host the 76ers for another early season matchup of division rivals. Rookie Christian Koloko has earned some early season minutes off the bench but will be thrown into the fire if he’s matched up against Joel Embid, last year’s MVP runner-up.
