Key Storylines

Toronto enters this matchup off a dazzling offensive showing, with Scottie Barnes posting historic numbers. He had a 23-point, 25-rebound, 10-assist triple-double against Golden State. Brandon Ingram and Immanuel Quickley also provided strong scoring contributions, giving the Raptors multiple threats in that victory. The key question for Toronto will be how refreshed they are after the overtime game and whether a minutes restriction for RJ Barrett will cause them any problems in his return to action.

The Magic come in after a home win over the Denver Nuggets in their last game. Orlando’s backcourt and wings have been solid contributors with Desmond Bane and Paolo Banchero leading the way, and Anthony Black offering a secondary scoring option. However, the Magic have been impacted by injury absences, with forward Franz Wagner out and Jalen Suggs listed as questionable. A shorter bench could test Orlando’s depth, especially late in this contest north of the border.
