The Toronto Raptors and Golden State Warriors lock horns for the 40th time in franchise history on Wednesday. Here's a look at the matchup, past and present, brought to you by Elias Sports Bureau, Inc.

--

• The Raptors host the Warriors tonight after losing at Cleveland last night. This is the first time that Toronto will play the two defending conference champions on consecutive days. The only other NBA team that is scheduled to do so this season is Brooklyn (December 22–23).

• The Warriors are 3–0 this season in games in which they did not play the previous day but their opponent did. Last season, Golden State was 11–1 in games it played under those circumstances. 

• The Warriors have been credited with assists on an NBA-high 70 percent of their field goals this season, compared to the league average of 57 percent. The Raptors have the lowest percentage of assisted field goals in the NBA this season (47 percent).

• Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson each scored 30 points in the Warriors’ victory over the Suns on Sunday night. It was the tenth time that Curry and Thompson both scored at least 30 points in one game for Golden State (and the first time this season). The Warriors have won each of those games (one in both 2013–14 and 2014–15, seven last season, and one this season).

• Kevin Durant is one of the six NBA players who have blocked at least one shot in each of their team’s games this season. The other players who have done that are Giannis Antetokounmpo, Anthony Davis, DeAndre Jordan, Karl-Anthony Towns and Hassan Whiteside.

Durant is the first player to block shots in each of his first ten games for the Warriors since Ronny Turiaf began his Golden State career with blocks in each of his first 18 games with the club. 

• Stephen Curry scored 44 points in his last game against the Raptors (Dec. 5, 2015). Since then, the only player who scored that many points in one game versus Toronto is Damian Lillard (50). 

Curry’s career scoring average against the Raptors, 30.0 points per game, is the highest for any player in NBA history. Next best are Allen Iverson (29.7) and LeBron James (27.4). 

Curry’s career average of 8.4 assists per game versus Toronto is the second-highest average among active players, behind Chris Paul, whose average of 10.6 assists per game against the Raptors is the highest, all-time. 

• Shaun Livingston has missed his last five foul shots; he is 4-for-10 from the line this season.

• The Raptors’ starting guards have combined to average 51.6 points per game this season, the highest scoring average for any NBA team’s starting backcourt. The teams with the next-highest averages are the Trail Blazers (51.4), Thunder (47.2) and Warriors (46.0).

• Kyle Lowry scored 41 points in his last game against the Warriors. Since then (Dec. 5, 2015), three players have scored more than 40 points in one game versus Golden State: John Wall (41) and Damian Lillard (51) last season, and Anthony Davis (45) this season.

• DeMar DeRozan was the Raptors’ outright leading scorer in each of Toronto’s games this season until last night, when Kyle Lowry outscored DeRozan, 28 to 26.

• Of the 12 NBA players who are averaging at least 25 points per game this season, only DeMar DeRozan (five) and Anthony Davis (three) have made fewer than 11 three-point field goals. 

• Toronto’s Pascal Siakam, Oklahoma City’s Domantas Sabonis and Philadelphia’s Dario Saric are the only NBA rookies who have started every one of their team’s games this season. 

• The Raptors have been outscored in the second quarter of only one game this season. That was against the Cavaliers in Toronto’s second game of the season (October 28).

• The Raptors have a 15–24 all-time record against Golden State but they have a .500 mark (10–10) against the Warriors in games played in Toronto.
