Time is ticking for the Toronto Raptors. With 19 games remaining in their regular-season schedule, the Raptors don’t have significant runway left to prove they’re more than their reputation.

Before a single possession takes place on the court, the Toronto Raptors are already expected to beat the Dallas Mavericks at home on Sunday.
