KEY MATCHUP
Valanciunas vs. Nowitzki
This isn’t the greatest of matchups for Jonas Valanciunas, who will have to move farther from the basket than he’d like to cover Dirk Nowitzki, one of the league’s great scorers, but the Raptors centre will have some help from Serge Ibaka, back from his one-game suspension.
