What to Watch For

• A loss would pull Toronto even with the Memphis Grizzlies for the sixth-worst record in the league and potentially a 46% chance to keep its top-six protected first-round pick. Detroit has been among the worst teams in the league this year, but with the way the Raptors are playing, Toronto could certainly drop this one.
• Toronto does, however, own Detroit’s second-round pick which is now slated for No. 32 with 0.5 games separating Detroit and Washington. A victory for Toronto would pull Detroit even with the Wizards for the worst record in the NBA. 
• Gradey Dick has taken on a bigger share of the offense lately and may have to find a groove without any of Toronto’s traditional starters. It’ll mean a little more on-ball creativity from Dick who had primarily been used as an off-ball threat earlier this season.
