TV: Sportsnet One
RADIO: TSN Radio 1050 Toronto
PROBABLE STARTING LINEUP:
Toronto: Kyle Lowry, Danny Green, Kawhi Leonard, Pascal Siakam, Serge Ibaka.
Memphis: Mike Conley, Garrett Temple, Kyle Anderson, Jaren Jackson, Marc Gasol.
KEY MATCHUP
Lowry vs. Conley
Both the Raptors and the Grizzlies have a number of facilitators, but the bulk of the play runs through Lowry and Conley. Lowry continues to be the king of assists this season, leading the league with 10.4 per game to Conley’s 16th-best 6.6. But Conley has the edge in scoring, averaging 20.3 points per game to Lowry’s 15.2 a night.
NEED TO KNOW
The Grizzlies will be looking to bounce back after back-to-back losses, including an unexpected 103-98 defeat at the hands of the 7-14 New York Knicks on Sunday . . . Memphis has only lost two games at home this season . . . The Raptors will also have their hands full with Marc Gasol, who has put up 20 points or more in six of his last 10 games and is averaging career-highs in rebounds (9.7), steals (1.6) and made threes (1.8) . . . A win for Toronto would secure the team’s third six-game win streak of the season; they have yet to put together seven straight victories . . . Norman Powell (shoulder) is still out for the Raptors.
