Raptors vs. Trail Blazers preview

The Raptors are going into the game against the Blazers with a rest advantage, having last played two nights ago against the Sacramento Kings, while the Blazers hosted the Miami Heat last night.

The Raptors took advantage of a rest advantage against the Golden State Warriors earlier this week, putting the foot on the gas and not looking back. They also won the second night of a back-to-back against the Kings.

While the Blazers have a long injury report with half of their roster dealing with some ailment, they have been one of the stronger teams in the league as of late and are not to be messed with even though they are on the second night of a back-to-back.

This is a winnable game for the Raptors, but if they fall into the trap, it could be an unfortunate loss.
