The Toronto Raptors have to feel good about their chances to contend in the wide-open Eastern Conference, as their white-hot run following a 2-8 start has them as the No. 6 seed in the East. With consecutive wins over Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks, Toronto has all the momentum in the world.
The Raptors switched up their lineup, choosing to move much-maligned big man Aron Baynes to the bench in favor of starting OG Anunoby at power forward and Pascal Siakam at center.
