Toronto Raptors Schedule 2019 Raptors Schedule

Toronto has a new member this year, and it makes things very interesting. They traded for Kawhi Leonard, which gives them a premium player if he is healthy. The Raptors have 12 back-to-back scheduled this year, which is below average compared to the league. The Raptors took first in the conference last year, but Boston and Philadelphia are their main threats, and they will play them four times each being in the same division. The Raptors went an impressive 12-4, which when factoring in eight games were against Boston and Philly, that is impressive. The Raptors dominated the conference, as a quality one seed should. They went 40-12, and it will be interesting to see if they can duplicate those numbers. Toronto will open up against Cleveland, which isn’t a competitive game anymore. Cleveland losing LeBron gives a clear path for a few teams to make it out of the East now. The Raptors only lost two games against teams below .500. They did struggle against teams above, going 24-21, which we have seen that set them back over the last few seasons. The Raptors went an impressive 19-11 against the Western Conference, which set them up for nearly 60 wins. Toronto is going to compete against Boston, and they square off for the second game of the year. Each Boston game will be nationally televised, alongside a couple of games against Western teams like Houston, San Antonio, Golden State, and Oklahoma City. They finish out the season with some very strong games against Chicago, New York, Orlando, Brooklyn, Charlotte, and Miami. The Heat will be a tough team to some, but likely not the Raptors. Battling with their divisional opponents, they will likely need these important wins down the stretch to decide on seeding.
