Toronto Raptors – Winner
The NBA took Toronto’s “We The North” slogan to heart, gifting the Raptors with two separate 7-game homestands (as you’ve read, Charlotte’s the only other).
Toronto’s schedule lands in the four spot because the second homestand also leads into their only stretch of 4-games-in-5-nights.
Homestand = March 2 – 14; 4-Games-5-Nights = March 14 – 18 (Bulls, @ Bucks, @ Pacers, vs. Celtics).
This is where Masai Ujiri’s offseason moves to build on defense and the league’s top benches will really pay off. Plus……EAST!
