Gameday: Raptors @ Cavaliers, February 26
Before you know it, the Toronto Raptors are suddenly on a 4-game winning streak.
The Raptors will be playing their second night of a back-to-back tonight in Cleveland and will look to stretch it to 5 games with a win.
A huge congrats to Fred VanVleet on his third child. You know what that means Toronto…
Raptors: The Raptors are coming fresh off a win in a tight game against the Detroit Pistons. Pascal Siakam once again took over the game and led the Raptors to a victory.
With and without the absence of VanVleet, Siakam has been a crucial part of this team and the 4 game winning streak the team is currently on.
Siakam finished the night with 29 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks. He stuffed the stat sheet in a meaningful win.
Behind Siakam, Gary Trent Jr was second in scoring.
Here is your daily Trent Jr clutch three. He was a bit inconsistent but stepped up when it mattered most. He ended the game with 19 points.
Scottie Barnes and O.G. Anunoby both had a rough shooting game but will have their chance to bounce back tonight. Jakob Poeltl was solid for the first half of the game but didn’t seem to play as much during the second half for some reason. He ended the night with 9 points and 14 rebounds along with 4 assists.
Precious Achuiwa did bits off the bench, scoring 10 points and added a much-needed boost along with Chris Boucher and Jeff Dowtin Jr. This team with VanVleet is going to be fun.
Cavaliers: The Cavaliers are currently on a 3 game losing streak heading into tonight after playing the Atlanta Hawks two nights ago.
We’ve had their number so far, beating them in all 3 games and it is time for the season series sweep.
The Cavs have loads of talented players to look out for. The main ones are Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland (who scored 33 points last game), Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley.
