Eric Koreen @ekoreen
To the extent anything about this game has a chance to be interesting from a bigger picture, I am curious how steadfastly Raptors will look to keep O.G. on Durant. – 7:38 PM
Michael Grange @michaelgrange
Flynn, Trent Jr., Anunoby, Thad and Koloko start for under-manned Raptors. – 7:37 PM

Eric Koreen @ekoreen
Notable if not deafening boos for Kyrie Irving from the crowd in Toronto. – 7:36 PM
Aaron Rose @AaronBenRose
This will be Kyrie Irving’s first game IN Toronto since Feb. 26, 2019 – 7:32 PM
Austin Krell @NBAKrell
I see the way Plumlee shoots after changing hands and I wonder how difficult it would be for Ben Simmons to just test out shooting free throws as a righty push shot if he bought into actually giving it a try. – 7:19 PM
Doug Smith @SmithRaps
Raptors are starting Flynn, Trent, Anunoby, Young, Koloko
Bench will be Boucher, Hernangomez, Birch, Dowtin and Harper – 7:16 PM

Nets starters for tonight’s game at Toronto:
Simmons, Irving, Durant, O’Neale and Claxton – 7:05 PM
Jeff Goodman @GoodmanHoops
Arizona wins the Maui Invitational with a 81-79 victory over Creighton.
Wildcats lost Benn Mathurin, Dalen Terry and Christian Koloko early to the NBA.
Certainly belong in the Top 10 after wins over Creighton and San Diego State.
Oumar Ballo was sensational with 30 and 13. – 7:01 PM

Having spent a relaxing afternoon watching a tremendous performance of White Christmas at the Shaw Festival, back to learn no VanVleet (illness), Barnes (knee), Banton (ankle), Siakam (groin), Porter (foot), Achiuwa (ankle), Champagnie (back) vs Nets tonight
And, alas, no Yuta – 6:13 PM

TJ Warren has progressed and gone 3-on-3 against other players. #Nets6:06 PM

Yuta Watanabe who is OUT tonight vs Raptors will also be out on Friday night vs Pacers, per @Brooklyn Nets HC Jacque Vaughn. – 6:05 PM
Brian Lewis @NYPost_Lewis
Yuta Watanabe got an MRI in Philadelphia and has a hamstring strain. Out tonight at #Raptors and Friday at #Pacers. #Nets6:03 PM
Vivek Jacob @vivekmjacob
Being the soccer fan he is, it would’ve been cool if Nash was still the Nets coach and here in Toronto on this day. He’s probably happier he was able to sit back, relax, and watch the Canada-Belgium match in peace, though. – 6:03 PM
Aaron Rose @AaronBenRose
The shorthanded Raptors were surprisingly -2.5 point favorites against Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and Ben Simmons earlier today but the Fred VanVleet news has Toronto +2.0 underdogs now on @BodogCA. Still crazy to me that it’s so close. The Nets are just bad, eh – 6:02 PM
Nick Friedell @NickFriedell
Nick Nurse says the Raptors have ten healthy players tonight. Scottie Barnes and Fred VanVleet also out tonight for Raptors. – 5:48 PM
Eric Koreen @ekoreen
Scottie Barnes (knee soreness) is out. Fred VanVleet is out with a non-COVID illness, as is Dalano Banton. Raptors have 10 available. – 5:47 PM
Brian Lewis @NYPost_Lewis
Scottie Barnes & Fred VanVleet are out vs the #Nets. The #Raptors will play with ten. – 5:47 PM

Scottie Barnes is OUT vs Brooklyn… and, surprise, so is Fred VanVleet, who will miss tonight’s game due to illness. – 5:47 PM

VanVleet, Barnes and Banton are all Out vs. Nets. – 5:47 PM

Yuta Watanabe, the former Raptor who is leading the NBA in 3pt % (57.1!) for the Nets has a pulled hamstring and will miss tonight’s game, is still getting his on-court work in. pic.twitter.com/EcKemgEF9t5:43 PM

Casey Holdahl @CHold
Justise Winslow will get the start tonight versus the Cavaliers in place of Shaedon Sharpe. Chauncey Billups feels like the team hasn’t gotten off to good starts on the defensive end and hopes inserting Winslow into the starting lineup will change that. – 5:40 PM
Eric Koreen @ekoreen
Dalano Banton is out, per the injury report online. – 5:37 PM
James Plowright @British_Buzz
Over the past 10 seasons there have been 22 teams who started out 4-14 or worse. Of those 22 teams 0 have made the playoffs, the 2013 Raptors were the only team to finish in a “Play in” spot (10th).
The average number of wins among that group of teams was 23 pic.twitter.com/FmBK1TaRuM5:31 PM

Also, Mannix claims his pastrami sandwich is superior to Thanksgiving food. I righteously defend the turkey-stuffing-cranberries holy trinity.
