The Toronto Raptors are in desperate need of a win Sunday evening as they look to end a four-game skid at 6 pm ET against the Golden State Warriors.
Where to Watch
TSN and the FAN 590 will air the game in Toronto. NBC Sports Bay Area and 95.7 FM The Game will broadcast for San Francisco.
What to Watch For
- Well, a win would be nice. The Warriors will be shorthanded Sunday without at least Steph Curry and Andrew Wiggins. Toronto, though, has struggled against just about everyone lately and even an undermanned Warriors team can’t be taken lightly.
- Scottie Barnes was terrible for the better part of three quarters on Friday but then turned things around in the fourth and was borderline unstoppable, shooting 5-for-5 in the quarter with 17 points. Toronto needs that to carry over as Barnes moves away from his post-up touches and more towards attacking downhill.
- Gary Trent Jr. is questionable to play but Malachi Flynn should continue to see playing time, especially alongside Fred VanVleet. It won’t be an extended look, but Flynn has a chance to re-emerge as a bench option following an impressive performance Friday.
Injury Reports
Toronto will be without OG Anunoby, Precious Achiuwa, and Otto Porter Jr. Trent is questionable.
Golden State has ruled out Curry, Wiggins, and Andre Iguodala. Draymond Green and Klay Thompson are probable.
