GT#46 RAPTORS @ KINGS on Wed, Jan 21, 2026 @ 10 PM EST on TSN4/1050

[C_Money]

Ingram has made 20 of his last 41 three point attempts.

He's shooting 49% over his last 9 games (on 4.6 attempts per game). (36% on the season)

Insane numbers.

Both him and Scottie should be All-Stars.

Very timely 3’s as well. Like when the team is starting to blow the lead Ingram knocks down a much needed 3.

[Duffman100]

RJ is supposed to be back.

CMB thing is rumored to be long-term.

Nooo, where do you see that rumour?

Grange basically ruled him out for the West Coast trip.
And he's underdoing multiple evaluations and seeking multiple opinions on his thumb.
Had one in SF yday, is seeing another doctor today.

I'm thinking he might be done till the All-star break.

Ugh, I hope it isn't a surgery type situation.

[johanliebert]

How are we such huge favourites on the road without CMB/Poeltl and maybe RJ?

I suggest you take your pills if you believe CMB’s absence is moving a spread.

I'm thinking it might be. That thumb was already injured and wrapped up. Then Luka decided to smack the remaining HP out of it.

[johanliebert]

West coast trips used to be a harbinger in a bad sense. Now it’s just old and slow teams in only worried about the OKC game.

If CMB is out for a long period and Poeltl is no where close. We need a big body.

[MiamiSPX]

Raps have not submitted their injury report yet. Kings are a joke though.

[TorontoBarneys]

I know it's a b2b but we gotta get this W because the next 4 games after this one won't be easy at all.

[Kingsway_fan]

Could we see
Barnes
Ingram
Barrett
Iq
Shead

... starting tonight ?

I just hope Bobby isn't dumb enough to trade IQ/RJ for Sabonis.

I feel Scottie has struggled in b2b this year. Or maybe recency bias from the 76ers.

[LoveMyRaps]

Could we see
Barnes

Darko is gonna overthink it and likely start Dick or Ochai.

Gotta get them hot for trade value.

IMO even if he doesn't need surgery, you keep him out until after the ASG and make sure he comes back better healed than rushing him back.

You have to protect health, for sure. But in order to survive doing that, we need an alternate option. And like DUff was noting earlier, we need someone anyway because Poeltl isn't any sort of ironman.

You're right, as I was only commenting on the state of our promising young rook and what's best long-term. For the team this season? Yes we need a more reliable - and dare I say dynamic - C option than Poeltl has been.

Of course; I suspect we're all in agreement here. We shouldn't rush injured guys back, but we need more real frontcourt depth. Ideally not just undersized guys.

I don't know that we need a more "dynamic" C than Poeltl, but we need someone who is available and can do the basic things we want from a big.

[Kingsway_fan]

We have legit chance at second seed in East if we can get a bit healthier ...

If the Pelicans love Queen so much, I wouldn't mind taking a try for Yves Missi. I'm hoping for a trade for a young back up C.
