Enter you, the readers of Raptors Republic.
You’ll be setting our expectations for the game. Simply leave a comment with your final score prediction, the game’s high scorer as well as a “Key Storyline,” and later in the afternoon (time permitting) I’ll curate some of the best or most frequent answers into a brief preview.
For reference, the game is at 7 p.m. on TSN and sees the 38-26 Memphis Grizzlies visit the 36-27 Toronto Raptors.
