Thunder vs. Raptors preview

The Raptors have won their first two games after the All-Star break by beating the Chicago Bulls and Milwaukee Bucks, but they will now face some real competition in Thunder, the only top six team that Toronto has beaten so far this season.

The Raptors have struggled against some of the top talent in the league, but they have found ways to pull out wins where they can get them. They have been resilient all year long, and now it is time to showcase that when playing against the best teams in the league.

The Raptors will get a bit of a reprieve as the Thunder will be without reigning MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who has been dealing with an ab strain. Jalen Williams is also out with a hamstring injury, and standout guarding Ajay Mitchell should also be missing the game.

If the Raptors can take advantage of that, they should be able to pull out the win and remain undefeated in the second half of the season.
