Toronto Raptors

  • ’17-18 Record: 59-23
  • ’17-18 Season Series: 1-1
  • ’18-19 Advantage: Raptors

Man, it’s going to be weird seeing Kawhi Leonard in a Toronto jersey next season.

The Raptors are going to be one of the better two-way teams in the league. They have defenders, they have shot-makers, and the depth to make a run. They’ve disappointed in the playoffs over the years, but maybe Leonard can change that.

Utah has to prove that their second-half surge last season wasn’t a fluke, and until then, you can’t put them over a well-established team like Toronto.
