Hawks vs. Raptors preview

The Hawks and Raptors have faced off three times so far this season, with Toronto coming out on top in each of the contests. However, it's hard to beat a team for a fourth time in any season, but that's what the Raptors will try to accomplish.

The Raptors had good, bad, and ugly from their last game against the Hawks, mainly because they were giving up over 40 points in the second quarter, but found a way to hold the Hawks to just 11 in the final frame.

The Hawks will remember that fourth quarter fondly when they tip off against the Raptors, and they will try to do their best to get the offence back to where they want it to be. It's up to the Raptors to play more consistently on defence. That is where the game will be won and lost, so the Raptors have to show up in that area.

The Raptors win would give them a 4-1 homestand, which would be a huge breakthrough for the team. The offence has looked really strong with RJ Barrett back in the lineup, and he will look to come up with a decent showing after his 29-point performance in the last game against the Hawks.
