9. Toronto Raptors

Something has to give for the Toronto Raptors. This is a team that has not performed as many believed they would so far this season and it could result in the team making a big move at the NBA Trade Deadline next month. That said, I don’t believe this team is going to blow up its roster.

They may make a move or two to thin out their rotation but I don’t see this team trading Pascal Siakam or OG Anunoby at the deadline. Especially not with the asking prices that they reportedly have for both players.

The Raptors have too much talent to not rebound during the second half of the season. Even if they don’t climb into one of the top 6 seeds in the Eastern Conference, I believe they will sneak into one of the Play-In Tournament spots.
