Noteworthy
• The Toronto Raptors continue a seven game home stand (Jan. 18-30) Sunday evening against the Los Angeles Clippers. The home stand equals the franchise high set last season (Nov. 7-21) and in 2012 (Mar. 21 – Apr. 3) and 1999 (Nov. 30 – Dec. 14).
• Toronto has an opportunity to record the second-longest winning streak in team history with a victory Sunday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Toronto's last eight game winning streak was Mar. 22-Apr. 9, 2002 as part of a franchise-record nine straight wins.
• Toronto has won 18 straight games when holding opponents under 100 points, the second-longest streak in team history. The Raptors won 27 straight games when holding their opponent below the century mark from March 2009 to March 2010.
• Toronto is 8-7 against Western Conference teams this season, including six wins against the top-6 teams in the West - San Antonio, Oklahoma City, L.A. Clippers and Dallas (2X).
• The Raptors completed a stretch of 13 straight games against Eastern Conference teams (Dec. 27-Jan. 22) with a 10-3 record. Toronto began this stretch ranked fourth in the East with a 18-12 record and have moved up to second place in the standings.
• DeMar DeRozan has matched a career-high by scoring 30+ points in three straight games (Jan. 18-22). He led the team with a game-high 33 points on 12-of-26 shooting from the field Jan. 22 vs. Miami and recorded a season-high four three-pointers against the Heat.
• Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers will mark the 21st consecutive sell out at Air Canada Centre this season. The Raptors have sold out 59 consecutive games overall (including playoffs) since Nov. 11, 2014 – the longest streak of consecutive sell outs in team history.
