The Toronto Raptors finished an underwhelming 2022-23 season as the ninth seed in the Eastern Conference, meaning they'll have to navigate the NBA play-in tournament to reach the actual playoffs. The odds are stacked against them but there's still a chance for the Raptors to sneak into the postseason.
First up is a clash with old friend DeMar DeRozan and the Chicago Bulls at Scotiabank Arena on Wednesday with tip-off scheduled for 7:00 p.m ET. The winner of that matchup will earn a road date with the Miami Heat — who lost to the Atlanta Hawks in the East's first play-in game — on Friday.
