Through 3 Quarters

The point spread is against the Brooklyn Nets, but thus far the points are on their side. Sitting on a score of 89-81, they have looked like the better team out there today, but there's still one more quarter to play.

Brooklyn hasn't had any offensive standouts so far with all players held to 14 points or fewer. Another thing to keep an eye out for is Bruce Brown's foul situation as he currently sits at four.

Power forward Scottie Barnes (16 points) and power forward Pascal Siakam (16 points) have been the top scorers for the Toronto Raptors. Pascal Siakam has also picked up four fouls, though.

Toronto has lost 81% of the time when they were down heading into the fourth quarter this year, so this one seems just about wrapped up

What to Know

After five games on the road, the Toronto Raptors are heading back home. They and the Brooklyn Nets will face off at 7:30 p.m. ET March 1 at Scotiabank Arena after both having played games yesterday. The Raptors have the odds in their favor, so they'll need to guard against complacency.

Brooklyn is out to make up for these teams' game on Monday. Toronto put a hurting on the Nets on the road to the tune of 133-97. The matchup was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 71-48. Toronto's power forward Scottie Barnes was on fire, dropping a double-double on 28 points and 16 rebounds in addition to five steals. Barnes hadn't helped his team much against the Atlanta Hawks this past Saturday, so this was a nice turnaround for him.

Toronto's victory lifted them to 33-27 while Brooklyn's loss dropped them down to 32-30. We'll see if Toronto can repeat their recent success or if Brooklyn bounces back and reverse their fortune.
