Two teams outside the play-in zones in their respective conferences clash as the Toronto Raptors return from a three-game trip to host the Golden State Warriors, who continue their road this week. Both lost their last games in a dreary season, with Toronto on a five-game skid. While Golden State started the season well, injuries to star players and a complete loss in form have led to a drastic slide down the standings. To begin with, the Raptors never got into the season and are currently the worst team in the East save the Washington Wizards. Golden State is the bookies’ favorite to win in Toronto.

Toronto Raptors
The Toronto Raptors continue to post negative statistics after losing a fifth straight game with the 123-114 defeat at the Detroit Pistons.

Against Detroit on Sunday, the Raptors led 66-65 at halftime but were behind at the end of the 3rd quarter. Toronto, which had seven players in double figures, managed to tie the game with five minutes left before a slate of missed free throws condemned them to another defeat. Immanuel Quickley led the Raptors with 25 points, Scottie Barnes had 16 points while RJ Barret, Chris Boucher, Bruce Brown, Jamal Shead and Gradey Dick scored double figures.

The Golden State Warriors lost the second game of their four-game trip 108-96 to the Indiana Pacers with a depleted team with All-Star Steph Curry, Draymond Green, and Andrew Wiggins on the bench for injury-related reasons. The Warriors’ bench played hard but ultimately lost against a Pacers side that is beginning to find its rhythm. Former Pacers star Buddy Hield led Golden State with 17 points, and Pat Spencer added 17 in a season-high tally. The Pacers won the first half and held on to the lead until the end of the game. Golden State is now out of the play-in spots after being as high as second in the Western Conference standings. They are 1-3 in their last four.
