Can Raps regain offensive spark against Grizzlies?

The Raptors have failed to put up over 100 points in their last two games, but did register 126 the last time they played Memphis last week. Can Toronto get their offensive game back? TSN NBA analyst Jack Armstrong has more.

Marcus Smart scored 21 points, Al Horford had 17 points and 11 rebounds and the Celtics beat the short-handed Raptors, who played without OG Anunoby and Gary Trent Jr. Fred VanVleet led Toronto with 27 points, Scottie Barnes had 21 and Pascal Siakam added 18.

Scottie Barnes was nearing the end of his first long NBA road trip and he could feel it, even if he didn’t care to admit it afterwards.

Domantas Sabonis had 23 points and 18 rebounds, and the Indiana Pacers beat the short-handed Toronto Raptors 114-97 on Friday night.

Toronto Raptors forward Yuta Watanabe has been added to the injury report and listed as questionable for Friday’s game against the Indiana Pacers.

The Toronto Raptors say Khem Birch (right knee swelling) will miss Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers, while OG Anunoby (left hip pointer) is questionable.

Kyle Lowry still thinks of Toronto as home, and plans to retire as a Raptor. The former Raptor, a fan favourite and arguably the greatest player in franchise history, told "The Undefeated" recently he still has strong ties to the city he represented for nine seasons.

Since their surprising 6-3 start, the Toronto Raptors have dropped seven of their last nine games as they near the quarter pole of the 2021-22 NBA season, and the obvious culprit is their ailing defence, Josh Lewenberg writes.

Jordan Poole had his second straight 30-point performance with 33, Andrew Wiggins added 32 points and seven rebounds, and the Golden State Warriors beat the Toronto Raptors 119-104 on Sunday night.

Both OG Anunoby and Yuta Watanabe have been ruled out for Sunday night's clash against the Golden State Warriors.

Pascal Siakam scored 18 of his season-high 32 points in the first half and the Toronto Raptors continued their recent dominance in Sacramento, thumping the Kings 108-89 on Friday night.

CJ McCollum had 29 points and Damian Lillard added 24 to lead the Portland Trail Blazers to a 118-113 victory over the Toronto Raptors on Monday night. OG Anunoby had 27 points for the Raptors, who have lost five of six. Pascal Siakam added 20.

It appears Toronto is going to be a difficult team to face, and a hard one to get a read on. The Raptors, though, appear to be a team that should be in the play-in mix all season long in the East.

The Toronto Raptors were without Fred VanVleet and Precious Achiuwa Saturday night against the Detroit Pistons and they could be even more shorthanded Monday in Portland.

Jerami Grant scored 24 points, including two key three-pointers in the fourth quarter, and Dwane Casey's Detroit Pistons beat the Toronto Raptors 127-121 on Saturday. The loss was the fourth in five games for the Raptors.

Gary Trent Jr. and Fred VanVleet hit back-to-back 3-pointers over the final 1:10 to lift the Toronto Raptors past the undermanned Philadelphia 76ers, 115-109 on Thursday night.

Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers for rest.

Jayson Tatum had 22 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists in the Boston Celtics' 104-88 victory over the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday night. The loss was Toronto's first on the road this season after four wins to start the year.

The Toronto Raptors will have Pascal Siakam for at least the first half of their back-to-back games this week, though it's unclear if he'll play again in the second half.
