Has the Phoenix Suns’ contending window closed for good? Now that is an interesting question that could take us in plenty of interesting directions. Their crushing loss to the Dallas Mavericks in last year’s playoffs, to go along with choking away a 2-0 NBA Finals lead against the Milwaukee Bucks in 2021, appears to be […]

The Memphis Grizzlies are a franchise on the rise, gradually improving year to year since drafting Ja Morant second overall in the 2019 NBA Draft. With the title race as wide open as it has ever been in quite a while, the Grizzlies have all the looks of a championship team. Armed with suffocating perimeter […]

Since the Raptors are no longer in the play-in picture, this season is getting out of control. They could shut it all down and strive for a high lottery pick if they can’t improve matters in the next weeks. There’s a chance they’ll be big sellers or actually be idle at the trade deadline. Recall […]

With the February 9th NBA trade deadline just around the corner, the clock is ticking on any big moves. Organizations such as the New York Knicks are in the thick of a heated playoff race, so any last-minute addition could make a big difference. One of the names connected with the Knicks is OG Anunoby […]

Toronto Raptors wing OG Anunoby has found his name in trade rumors for months and with the deadline quickly approaching, it appears Masai Ujiri and the front office are willing to potentially move him. Per Shams Charania, the Raps are starting to take calls for the 25-year-old, with the Phoenix Suns showing serious interest: The […]

Deandre Ayton and the Phoenix Suns got the better of Scottie Barnes and the Toronto Raptors on Monday night, in a game that featured some theatrics between the two stars. Ayton and the Suns got the last laugh, defeating the Raps 114-106 at the Footprint Center in Phoenix. Ayton was unhappy with the way Barnes […]

The fates of some contending teams with the trade deadline fast approaching appear to be at the hands of the Toronto Raptors. The Raptors reportedly have made all of the members of their core except Scottie Barnes available in a trade. Thus, a potential bidding war could ensue for the likes of Pascal Siakam, OG […]

The Toronto Raptors could potentially turn into the most interesting NBA trade deadline team as the rumors gain steam ahead of February 9. The Raptors almost definitively have the most number of impact players that have had their names thrown around in trade rumors. While nothing has come to fruition just yet, the latest rumors […]

OG Anunoby did not do much to dispel the recent trade rumors that have linked him to a looming move away from the Toronto Raptors. While he did deny the validity of the said rumors, all he said was that, “no, it is what it is,” which doesn’t exactly inspire confidence for Raptors fans who […]

The Toronto Raptors have undoubtedly been one of the NBA’s most disappointing teams this season. Despite coming into the 2022-23 campaign with playoff expectations, the Raptors currently own a 23-28 record, just the 12th-best in the Eastern Conference. Toronto wouldn’t even qualify for the play-in tournament if the regular season ended today. Because of all […]

The NBA trade deadline is less than two weeks away, and it seems like we could be entering an extremely chaotic deadline across the league. There aren’t many teams that are really out of playoff contention right now, which may encourage teams to be aggressive in pulling off deals. There are many players who are […]

NBA action continues on Monday night as the Toronto Raptors (23-28) head out west to face the hot Phoenix Suns (26-25).

“What have you done for me lately.” Those words, or something hopefully a bit classier, could be what Toronto Raptors head coach Nick Nurse hears at the end of the season. The former golden boy could be on the hot seat, per Shams Charania of The Athletic. The dilemma is just one unforeseen development for […]

The interest in Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby is seemingly growing as the NBA trade deadline gets nearer. Apart from the New York Knicks, another potential suitor for Anunoby has come out to the surface in the form of the Phoenix Suns (h/t Shams Charania of The Athletic). “The Knicks and Suns are among the […]

The Los Angeles Lakers aren’t done wheeling and dealing ahead of the NBA trade deadline as they attempt to surround centerpiece LeBron James with the right supporting cast. As a result, Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. is rumored to be on their radar, according to Yahoo Sports Jake Fischer. However, speaking to NBA insider […]

The Toronto Raptors are on the west coast to take on the Portland Trail Blazers. It’s time to continue our NBA odds series with a Raptors-Blazers prediction and pick. It’s been a season to forget for the Raptors and it’s not even the All-Star break. They sit in last in the division and 12th in […]

In a money conscious league, it’s only fitting that Toronto Raptors point guard Fred VanVleet knows his worth. As the veteran dialogues with the Raptors front office about a contract extension, he “denied reports that he turned down a four-year, $113 million extension from the Raptors before the season,” per Fox Sports’ Rich Bucher. Explaining […]

The Toronto Raptors face the Portland Trail Blazers Saturday night on the second leg of a tough back-to-back. Nick Nurse’s team fell to the Golden State Warriors 129-117 in San Francisco on Friday, losing touch with the defending champions midway through the fourth quarter. OG Anunoby left the Raptors’ loss early in the second quarter […]

Toronto Raptors swingman OG Anunoby was forced to exit Friday’s game against the Golden State Warriors due to wrist injury and didn’t return. Anunoby sustained the injury early in the second quarter of what ended a 129-117 defeat for the Raptors. As he attacked the basket past Jordan Poole, Anunoby fell awkwardly and landed hard […]

There’s recently been a lot of buzz surrounding OG Anunoby and what now appears to be his looming departure from the Toronto Raptors. The 25-year-old himself seems to have already made it clear that he wants out of Toronto, which has sounded the alarm for a handful of opposing teams around the league. At this […]

Below we continue our NBA odds series with a Raptors-Warriors prediction, pick, and show how to watch. Toronto has won two straight games but still sits in 12th place in the Eastern Conference. The Raptors covered […]

It’s not quite clear yet what the Toronto Raptors would decide to do with the NBA trade deadline approaching. But with a 22-27 record, the expectation that the Raptors would sell remains. And if that happens, the Raptors may not have a more attainable and enticing trade asset than 3 and D wing OG Anunoby. […]

Fred VanVleet has found himself heavily involved in trade talks amid the Toronto Raptors’ middling season and his upcoming foray into free agency after he (expectedly) declines his player option for next season. VanVleet then proceeded to fuel more speculation after he parted ways with Par-Lay Sports & Entertainment, his former agency of representation. But […]

The Raptors […]

Toronto Raptors wing OG Anunoby wants to be traded, according to longtime Toronto radio personality Bob McCowan (h/t Esfandiar Baraheni of SDPN Sports). Just heard this on the Bob McCowan podcast: “I talked to an NBA insider yesterday, this is a guy I’ve known for a few years, he tells me… Anunoby wants out of […]

The Toronto Raptors are arguably the most interesting team ahead of the NBA’s trade deadline if they decide to sell. Fred VanVleet is just one of a handful of core players who could be changing uniforms ahead of the deadline or once the offseason arrives. While it’s uncertain what happens to any of their players […]

Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby is good to go for Wednesday’s game against the Sacramento Kings, according to a Tuesday tweet from Raptors NBA Beat Reporter Josh Lewenberg. The MRI the Raptors were awaiting the results of came back clean. “He told me he’s 94%,” Raptors head coach Nick Nurse said. OG Anunoby was ruled […]

One of the most prominent teams to watch out for with the trade deadline coming up in around two weeks’ time is the Toronto Raptors. Armed with a slew of pieces that could help contending teams in Pascal Siakam, OG Anunoby, Fred VanVleet, and Gary Trent Jr., what the Raptors end up doing will dictate […]

This has been a disastrous season for the Toronto Raptors. Pegged as a would-be playoff contender this season, the team has fallen apart from the get-go. Pascal Siakam is having one hell of a season, and that hasn’t mattered at all. They sit 1.5 games behind a Play-In spot, and that frankly seems meaningless now. […]

The San Antonio Spurs have reportedly been “very active” on the trade market ahead of the NBA’s deadline, and more than half a dozen teams have inquired about center Jakob Poeltl, including the Toronto Raptors and Boston Celtics, according to LJ Ellis of SpursTalk. The Austrian center has averaged 12.2 points, 9.3 rebounds and 2.9 […]

At first glance, the Toronto Raptors look like they have all the makings of a team that thrives in today’s NBA. Armed with a plethora of switchable wings with considerable skill, they look like a team that could make the lives of their opponents a living hell on both ends of the floor, capable of […]

After having a rough start to his sophomore year, Scottie Barnes is looking like the Toronto Raptors’ second option they’ve desperately needed. The reigning rookie of the year is averaging over 20 points per game over the last few games on stellar efficiency from all over the court. He has completely redeemed himself after that […]

The Toronto Raptors are about to hit their most crucial part of the season as they embark on a seven-game road trip that will carry them almost all the way through to the NBA trade deadline. For the players on this team, Sunday’s game against the New York Knicks could have very well been their […]

The Toronto Raptors are looking to get back on track as they face the New York Knicks on Sunday. Unfortunately, they are dealing with some key injuries as they continue to struggle. On the official NBA injury report, O.G. Anunoby and Fred VanVleet were both listed as questionable due to right ankle soreness and right […]

The Toronto Raptors (20-27) host the New York Knicks (25-22) on Sunday night at the Scotiabank Arena. Below we continue our NBA odds series with a Knicks-Raptors prediction and pick. Toronto has lost three straight games to put them in 12th place in the competitive Eastern Conference. The Raps have been dealing with some player […]

The Toronto Raptors are straight up not having a good time this season. They have struggled to win games this year, despite the efforts of some of their players. Their last game was loss to the Boston Celtics that could’ve swung in their favor, but ultimately did not go their way. That game featured one […]

The Boston Celtics suffered quite the brutal blow on Saturday after both Marcus Smart and Robert Williams III were forced to exit their game against the Toronto Raptors due to injuries. Fortunately, the issue for both players don’t seem to be significant. Williams got injured in the first quarter after he injured his left knee–with […]

Saturday’s marquee matchup between the Boston Celtics and the Toronto Raptors produced a handful of worrying injuries for both teams. Marcus Smart and Robert Williams exited the game in the first half with respective injuries, and now, it’s the Raptors who were bitten by the injury bug after OG Anunoby was forced to sit out […]
