PREVIEW: The San Antonio Spurs arrive in Toronto riding a nine-game winning streak, showcasing elite two-way play that has them ranked second in limiting rim attacks and allowing quality three-point opportunities. Currently holding the second-best record in the Western Conference at 41-16, just three games behind Oklahoma City, San Antonio has become one of the league's most dominant teams. Fresh off a convincing victory over the top-ranked Eastern Conference Detroit Pistons, the Spurs demonstrate resilience even when their star players struggle from the field. The pairing of Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle has proven devastating, with the two combining for an offensive rating of 117.3 and a net rating advantage of 11.8 points per 100 possessions. The Toronto Raptors sit at 34-24 and hold fifth place in the Eastern Conference, but they face a stiff test while playing the second night of a back-to-back after dropping a close contest to Oklahoma City. Toronto operates with efficient rim attacks ranking second and excellent passing ability, yet their offense carries significant limitations with low spacing and an inefficient transition game. The loss to Oklahoma City came with a concerning injury to Scottie Barnes, leaving his status questionable heading into this matchup against San Antonio. The Raptors will lean heavily on Brandon Ingram and Immanuel Quickley to generate offense while hoping Collin Murray-Boyles can hold his own against the elite rim protection of Wembanyama.
