The Toronto Raptors will travel to the Magical Kingdom to face the Orlando Magic in the NBA on Sunday (December 11).
The Raptors cannot shake the injury bug and are missing several key components. Having Pascal Siakam back makes all the difference for the Raptors, though, as he provides veteran leadership both on and off the court.
Meanwhile, the Magic continue to build youth and develop their young players. Paolo Banchero has been better than advertised. The Magic's do-it-all swingman is the face of the franchise, and it's only his rookie season.
