The 2014-15 regular season schedule was released on Wednesday.

The 21st season of Raptors basketball is less than three months away. Tip-off is set for Oct. 28 at home against the Indiana Pacers. For a full list of games, click here.

Evidently, the league wanted to capitalized on that hot “Luis Scola vs. his former employer” storyline. A juicy one, that.

After the home opener, the Raptors will travel to Boston to play Amir Johnson (</3) and the rival Celtics on Oct. 31. The match against the Celtics will mark the first of 11 away games in the span of 14 contests. The Raptors will also duck the Air Canada Centre for most of early February in preparation for the 2016 NBA All-Star Game.

The string off away games will be offset by two separate runs of seven consecutive home games.

Some more schedule highlights:

  • Jan. 20 (home) – Amir Johnson returns home
  • Dec. 17 (away) – Bismack Biyombo comes home
  • Dec. 5 (home) – The reigning champions are in town
  • Feb. 24 (home) – Wiggins comes through
  • Nov. 28 (away) – First crack at redemption against the Wizards
  • Nov. 11 (away) – Raptors obliterate the 76ers, Drake drops his 7th Meek Mill diss track
  • Feb. 13-15 – NBA All-Star Weekend
  • Jun. 7 (away) – Raptors sweep Warriors for first their first ever NBA championship; Bruno Caboclo wins Finals MVP
