Raptors Look for Development vs Pelicans: Where to Watch, Injury Reports, & More

The Toronto Raptors will be without Scottie Barnes & Jakob Poeltl as they take on the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday: Where to watch, injury reports, and more

The Toronto Raptors will have their work cut out for them Tuesday night when Zion Williamson and the New Orleans Pelicans come to town for a 7:30 p.m. ET tipoff at Scotiabank Arena.

Where to Watch

Sportsnet and the FAN 590 will broadcast for Toronto. Bally Sports New Orleans and News Talk 99.5 will call the game for New Orleans.

What to Watch For

• The Raptors now have some certainty when it comes to Scottie Barnes' future as he underwent surgery to repair the fracture in his left hand Monday. Now Toronto can turn its attention toward everyone else with plenty of extra opportunities up for grabs these days.
• Jakob Poeltl's finger injury will keep him sidelined as well, meaning Toronto will have to rely on Kelly Olynyk and Jontay Porter against a tough Pelicans frontcourt. It won't be easy, but more playing time should be enlightening as Toronto tries to figure out just how good Porter is moving forward.
• Ochai Agbaji was thrust into the starting lineup on Sunday and got up 20 shots in his expanded role. He and Jordan Nwora will likely be the biggest beneficiaries of Barnes' absence and have a chance to prove themselves heading into a big summer.

Injury Reports.

Toronto has ruled out Barnes, Poeltl, and Bruce Brown Jr. who continues to battle a right knee injury.

The Pelicans will be without Dyson Daniels.

Game Odds

The Raptors are +9.5 point underdogs with an implied win probability of 23.8%. The total for the game is 228.5.
