Twenty-five games are generally a sample size that gives you a solid understanding of how the league is shaping up. So far, the Toronto Raptors have been a pleasant surprise.
After a hot start to the season and a cold start to December, the Raptors sit at 20-8. That puts them fourth in the Eastern Conference behind the Boston Celtics, Miami Heat, and Milwaukee Bucks and ahead of the Philadelphia 76ers.
As of now, FiveThirtyEight projects Canada’s team to win 55 games which would place them fourth behind Boston, Philly and Milwaukee.
