The NBA playoffs are fast approaching, with many teams’ regular-season outlook set in stone. One of these teams is the Toronto Raptors, who have clinched a spot in the play-in tournament and will attempt to earn a matchup with a top seed in the playoffs.
Raptors’ Season Performance
The Raptors have a 40-40 record, going 6-4 in their last 10 games. They rank 23rd in the NBA in scoring, averaging 112.9 points per game, but hold opponents to just 111.3 points per game, making them the fourth-best defensive team in the league. Toronto also excels at steals and offensive rebounding, ranking first and second in these categories, respectively.
Key Players
Pascal Siakam leads the team in scoring, averaging 24.3 points per game, along with 7.9 rebounds and 5.9 assists. Other key contributors include Fred VanVleet, OG Anunoby, Gary Trent Jr., and Scottie Barnes, who each average 15.5 points per game or more.
Playoff Prospects
With their spot in the play-in tournament secured, the Raptors will need to continue their strong defensive play and rely on their key players to make a deep run in the playoffs. However, facing a top-seeded team won’t be an easy task, and they will need to maintain their momentum from the regular season to achieve success in the postseason.
