    • The Toronto Raptors begin a four-game Western Conference road trip by visiting the Phoenix Suns. The Raptors have won six consecutive meetings against the Suns dating back to Dec. 5, 2018. Toronto's three straight wins at Phoenix Suns Arena is the longest streak in franchise history. Phoenix won 14 straight games against Toronto from 2004-11, since then the Raptors have won 11-of-17 meetings.

The longest losing streak the Raptors have encountered during this stretch was five games Jan. 18-25, 2017. Toronto has not lost more than three straight road games since then. The Raptors will also visit Sacramento, Golden State and Portland during this trip.
    • Fred VanVleet scored a season-high 35 points Jan. 4 vs. Boston by shooting 13-20 from the field, 6-9 from three-point range and 3-4 at the free throw line. VanVleet has scored 25 points in a career-high three consecutive games (Dec. 31-Jan. 4). The last Raptor to score 25 or more points in four straight games was Kawhi Leonard as part of a six-game streak Mar. 1-17, 2019. Through six games VanVleet has scored 25 or more four times. He had a career-best eight games with 25 or more points last season.
    • Fred VanVleet has made at least one three-pointer in 38 consecutive games (Dec. 20, 2019 - Jan. 4, 2021), tying C.J.

            I trust Lowry and FVV will inspire others for us to remain relevant at least against the sub .500 teams, we should get this.

                PHX have a .714 winning percentage and have won 13 of their last 15 games going back to the bubble. Plus, they made a big upgrade at PG to CP3. In other words, Suns aren’t an easy out anymore.
