The Toronto Raptors will take on the Atlanta Hawks for the third time this season on Sunday. Toronto is hoping to get a 2-1 edge and also snap out of a four-game losing slump. The Raptors will be looking to start a six-game road trip with a victory against the also struggling home team.
Like the Raptors, the Hawks are in a slump, losing their last four games. Atlanta was a victim of Luka Doncic’s NBA season-high 73 points on Friday but can’t get complacent versus Toronto. “Luka Legend” will not line up against them on Sunday but they better play well or suffer another loss to Toronto.
The Raptors will be without guard Immanuel Quickley, which will be a key absence for them. The former New York Knicks guard has been playing well but can’t suit up due to a right quadriceps contusion. Beating the Hawks on the road will be a tall order without him.
