The Toronto Raptors have a chance to bounce back Wednesday night when they take on the Utah Jazz at 9 p.m. ET.

Where to Watch

Sportsnet and the FAN 590 will broadcast the game in Toronto. AT&T SportsNet and The KSL Sports Zone will call the game for Utah.

What to Watch For

  • It's a little too early to really dive into the tanking standings, but this could be a big game for the Raptors if that is the direction they choose to go down the road. Utah is beginning to head toward the bottom of the league but is currently three games ahead of Toronto. Losing Wednesday would help grow that margin a little more.
  • It'll be another Precious Achiuwa night for the Raptors who remain without O.G. Anunoby. Achiuwa has looked much improved lately but will have his hands full Wednesday with the surging Lauri Markkanen.
  • Pascal Siakam just finished a month in which he averaged nearly 39 minutes per game, the second-most in the league. It's beginning to take a toll on him as his numbers have dipped slightly. Toronto can't continue running their All-NBA forward into the ground. Limiting his minutes just a tad would go a long way to keeping his efficiency at an elite level.

Injury Reports

Toronto will be without Anunoby and Otto Porter Jr.

The Jazz have ruled out Simone Fontecchio.

Game Odds

The Raptors are +3 point underdogs with an implied win probability of 44.6%. The total for the game is 228.
