Key Matchup:
The Toronto Raptors dismantled the Detroit Pistons on Monday, and head west for a showdown with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Kyle Lowry was stellar against the Pistons (25 points, 7 assists), sealing the win with help from Terrence Ross coming off of the bench (18 points, 4 rebounds). This game on Wednesday will be the last for the Raptors before the All Star Weekend in Toronto. Occasionally teams will dial down their effort on the court when the All Star festivities draw near. The question is, will the Raptors fall into this trap? They will need to maintain their focus against the likes of Andrew Wiggins and Karl-Anthony Towns, two younger players eager to prove themselves and cement their status as future stars of the NBA. The first half of the season is coming to a close!
