Raptors Continue Trip vs. Jokic's Nuggets: Where to Watch
The Toronto Raptors be in tight Monday night when they take on Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets: Where to watch, injury reports, and more
The Toronto Raptors will continue their road trip Monday night when they head to Denver to take on Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets at 9 p.m.
Where to Watch
SportsNet and TSN 1050 will broadcast for Toronto. Altitude Sports Radio 92.5 FM and Altitude Radio will call the game in Denver.
What to Watch For
- The Raptors are going to have their hands full against Jokic without Jakob Poeltl around to help out. It could get ugly as Toronto will have to rely on Kelly Olynyk and Jontay Porter to carry the goal in the frontcourt.
- Chris Boucher has been impressive since he rejoined the rotation last week. It's been a tough season for the Canadian forward, but he's shown he's still a valuable NBA bench player and should be viewed as much this offseason.
- It'll be another big night for Immanuel Quickley who will be tasked with running Toronto's short-handed offense Monday night. He's put up some gaudy numbers lately and the Raptors will need that to continue against Jamal Murray and the Nuggets.
- Expect Javon Freeman-Liberty, Ochai Agbaji, and Jordan Nwora to all vie for guard minutes in Toronto's rotation moving forward. Nwora and Freeman-Liberty in particular are contending for backup spots next season.
Injury Reports
Scottie Barnes, Poeltl, DJ Carton, and Mouhamadou Gueye are all out. Boucher, RJ Barrett, and Bruce Brown are all questionable to play for Toronto.
Vlatko Cancar is the lone injury for the Nuggets.
Game Odds
The Raptors are +13.5 point underdogs with an implied win probability of 13.3%. The total for the game is 225.5
