Key Matchup:
The Toronto Raptors' 11 game winning streak ended with a screeching halt after getting blown out by the Denver Nuggets, led by their starting center Nikola Jokic (27 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists). The Raptors struggled in the unfamiliar habitat of the Denver mountains, shooting a mere 37.2% on field goals, and 69% on free throws. Their road trip continues as they descend into the Phoenix desert, where they can hopefully catch their breath and make up for their brutal outing on Monday night. With Phoenix missing some key players in Brandon Knight and Eric Bledsoe, the Raptors look to once again assume the role of predator rather than prey.
