The Toronto Raptors are the hottest team in the Eastern Conference, currently 8-2 in their last ten games! They are locked into 6th seed 1.5 games behind the Philadelphia 76ers. This sustained success is a revelation for a team that, at one point during the season, was 14-17, coming off a short-handed but devastating loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Now, if the Raptors continue to play at this level of success, it’s not out of the realm of possibility that they could be hosting a first-round playoff series if the standings break their way during the home stretch.
