Pre-game news & notes: Lowry rests, Patterson and Lin sit
On the first night of a back-to-back, the Raptors will look to put the Nets away quickly and chill.

Patterson returns to the sidelines. More like sigh-delines, amiright?

Maine Red Claws (15-9); 114-100 | Box Score Assignees: Bruno Caboclo (905) The Raptors 905 set the tone early with their defence, and rode a steady wave of scoring from the entire rotation to coast to a wire-to-wire 110-94 victory, their fourth straight, over the Maine Red Claws…
The assignees carried the day, which is what you want to see.
The second of four meetings, and it sounds as if Raptors fans are quite hungry for this W.
The change in money might not be enormous, but extra roster spots could make a huge difference.
So, last night sucked. I’m not sure there’s much sense revisiting at this point, but the cloud of the loss to the Chicago Bulls is absolutely going to hang over the Toronto Raptors as they set to host the red-hot Houston Rockets on Sunday. The Raptors tasked four of their starters with playing 41 minutes…
At least one Toronto team topped Chicago.
Going 2-0 against a very good team would be a nice line on the "second tier" resume.
