Profile Position: Point guard Height: Six-foot-one Weight: 180 pounds Comparisons: Tyus Jones, Marquis Teague, Earl Watson Raptors Comparisons: Fred VanVleet (not as good defensively), Jose Calderon (smaller and not as good of a passer) Strengths Perimeter-shooting Anderson has a case for being the best shooter in the draft. That lone selling point should be enough […]

For Toronto Raptors supporters, this time of the year means becoming familiar with the array of players potentially available at pick 19. In part one of a weekly mock […]
Although the heartbreaking loss in game 7 was a sad way to end the season, it’s hard to find a Raptors fan that isn’t full of hope for next season. Already they outperformed in almost every metric, they clinched the playoffs (a feat that hasn’t been achieved since 2022) and phenomenal performances from the younger […]
Now entering its eighth season, the Canadian Elite Basketball League continues to deliver everything it promises: development of Canadian players, a fun experience for fans, and some truly incredible basketball. With more of everything we’ve loved in previous years and some great new changes to league structure, let’s dive into why you should be tuning […]
The reality of being the only Canadian team in the NBA is one of highs and lows for the Toronto Raptors. It means having the entire country (except *maybe* Vancouver) united to cheer for the team, and the spirit of an entire nation behind the squad. It also means a gulf between the Raptors and […]
With the Raptors’ offseason begun in full force, the franchise has seen its rookie receive the team’s first major individual award of the 2025-26 season. Collin Murray-Boyles has been named to the All-Rookie Second Team, the first Toronto player to receive the award since Scottie Barnes in 2022. It has been a stellar season for […]
The Raptors were a team of questions this year, and while it might be hard to answer every single one, it’s a good bet that a right answer might start and end with Scottie Barnes. Who was the team’s best player? Scottie Barnes. Who anchored them defensively? Scottie Barnes. Who stepped up when things looked […]
The Toronto Raptors aren’t supposed to be here. But they are anyway, and it’s the best-case scenario for a team surviving mostly off their instincts. They’ve learned to live with injuries to key players and miraculously adapted to the harsh environment of playoff basketball. They have one last mountain to climb in their Game 7 […]
It was win or go home for the Toronto Raptors on Friday night as they hosted game six IN the 6ix against Cleveland. After losing game five, the Raptors either had to win to force a game seven or be eliminated from the playoffs. There were a few tough blows for the Raptors before the […]
Brandon Ingram has been downgraded to doubtful ahead of Game 6 between the Toronto Raptors and the Cleveland Cavaliers, according to Sportsnet’s Michael Grange. The forward has reportedly been dealing with heel inflammation since March 23, during which he missed the 143-127 win over the Utah Jazz. It was the second game of a back-to-back. […]
Game 6 hasn’t necessarily been kind to The Six. The Toronto Raptors have a mixed-bag of results in game six of playoff matchups: For the Raptors to extend their current series to a seventh game, they must exorcise a familiar demon in the Cleveland Cavaliers. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. EST on Friday. This […]
Toronto went to Cleveland with a singular mission. They wanted to do something neither team has done yet in this series: Win on the road. A challenging task on a regular day, even more so in the playoffs. The crowd is unwelcoming. The opponent is more comfortable. It’s no surprise they weren’t able to overcome […]
After the electric atmosphere of the Toronto Raptors game three win, hopes were high going into Sunday’s game four that the Raptors could even out their series against the Cavaliers. While Thursday’s game was a must-win to keep Toronto alive in this series, Sunday was their last chance to get a win in a non-elimination […]
The Toronto Raptors are in a weird spot. From a circumstantial point-of-view, they’re not supposed to win this series against the Cleveland Cavaliers. This is the franchise’s first playoff appearance since the 2021-22 season and the move they made at the trade deadline was for tax reasons. Meanwhile, the Cavaliers went all-in with the blockbuster […]
When Jamison Battle scored his first two points nearly one minute into the fourth quarter, the Toronto Raptors caught a glimpse of something intriguing. Over the course of the final frame, the Raptors continued to slow-drip Battle into more actions, before eventually unlocking a new page of the offensive playbook. By the final buzzer, Battle […]
Playoff basketball has returned to Toronto! After losing the first two games of the series in Cleveland, the Raptors returned to Scotiabank Arena to try to get a game on the board and keep their playoff hopes alive. It’s been a little bit of a rough series for Toronto — turnovers, offensive droughts, injury — […]
Change. That’s what Game 2 was meant to bring after Saturday’s rough showing against Cleveland. That might have looked like a bigger role for Brandon Ingram, more responsibility for CMB, or any number of defensive changes to better contain James Harden and Donovan Mitchell. Yet, as the Raptors began the game that would end in […]
When the Toronto Raptors stepped into the Cleveland Cavaliers’ arena on Saturday, the 3 year playoff drought ended for the country of Canada, quickly replaced by a feeling of dread as the third quarter saw the Raptors begin to get blown out on the road. The Cavs just couldn’t be stopped at home, taking game […]
The Cavaliers protected home court this afternoon, handily defeating the Raptors 126-113 on the strength of Donovan Mitchell’s and James Harden’s combined 54 points. The Raptors have been branded as optimistic underdogs in this series. While sweeping Cleveland in the season series 3-0, those losses came early in the season before their acquisition of James […]
The Toronto Raptors kick off the 2025-2026 NBA Playoffs, drawing the matinee matchup in their best-of-seven series against the four-seed Cleveland Cavaliers. This will be Toronto’s first postseason appearance since 2022. In regular season games, Toronto swept Cleveland 3-0. While this is promising, all of those matchups were in a four week span in late […]
One last game in the regular season for the Raptors, and it was to secure their place in the playoffs — without having to endure the play-in tournament. Pretty big stakes for a Toronto team that could use a week off to rest a few injuries. Luckily, they were playing the already-eliminated Brooklyn Nets on […]
The Toronto Raptors will play their final game of the 2025-26 NBA regular season at home against the Brooklyn Nets after receiving a thrashing from the New York Knicks on Friday. It’s fitting that a matchup with Brooklyn is how this team finishes off this season, characterized by the end of the rebuild begun two […]
The Raptors have one more road game, and one more home contest before the season is over, both against the two New York teams. The bad news: they’ve got to play the 52-win Knicks in Madison Square Garden, a must-win game to keep any type of breathing room between them at the Play-In. The good […]
Before the game, Miami Heat Head Coach, Erik Spoelstra hinted at a better game between desperate teams after a “disappointing” matchup on Tuesday. Unfortunately for Erik, none of his players got the memo. Toronto routed Miami for the second game in a row, winning 128-114. The Raptors were led by Brandon Ingram, who finished with […]
