Despite notable injuries, the Raptors have fared well thus far while out west. Toronto followed up an exhilarating win against the Lakers with a hard-fought loss to the Clippers. Tonight, the team will look to regain momentum against the underwhelming Portland Trail Blazers. While this matchup is certainly less emotionally gripping than the Raptors’ previous two, don’t fret — there is still plenty of drama here.
After a rough start, the Blazers are desperately looking to reassert themselves as a playoff threat. Toronto, on the other hand, has seemingly proven itself as a resilient squad that continues to fight when circumstances look bleak.
