Raptors Analysis
The Raptors have defended home court well, and they’ll be looking for their 10th straight win at Scotiabank Arena tonight, where they are 20-4 on the season.
They’ve been in a battle with Milwaukee for the top spot in the East all season. After losing to the Celtics last season, the Raptors have won two straight against the Suns and Grizzlies.
Against Memphis, the Raptors were without Kawhi Leonard and still won by 29 points. They were led by Danny Green, who has had a great year with the Raptors. He finished with 24 points and seven rebounds and knocked down eight three-pointers.
Normal Powell and C.J. Miles were also big off the bench in limited minutes.

Kings Analysis
Like the Raptors, the Sacramento Kings are getting a lot of offensive help from their bench, but in their loss to the Brooklyn Nets, their starters struggled offensively, especially in the second half as they were outscored 68-34.
Three of their starters managed to score just a combined 25 points, while Bogdan Bogdanovic, who has been a sparkplug off the bench all season, scored 22 points and dished 11 assists.
Justin Jackson also had 14 points, but the Kings will need more than just Bogdanovic and Jackson against the Raptors tonight.
Scoring just nine points in the fourth quarter has to be worrisome for Sacramento, but a win tonight over a tough opponent on the road could do a lot to address any issues, especially if their backcourt duo of De’Aaron Fox and Buddy Hield get going.
