Gameday: Raptors @ Pistons, October 16th - Raptors Republic

The Toronto Raptors will play their final preseason game against the Detroit Pistons tonight, and we will not see them suit up again until their season begins on October 21st against the Chicago Bulls. Toronto’s preseason has been full of exciting moments over their last two games, and has given the Raptor faithful plenty to be excited about as the season rapidly approaches. With this being the second leg of a back-to-back it remains to be seen if Toronto’s starters will suit up again, but if they don’t it will give the younger players on the roster a chance for some extended minutes. Raptors OutlookRecord: 2-2Offensive Rating: 116.2 (6th)Raptors previous results: New York Knicks vs Toronto Raptors  – 120 – 122 LToronto’s offense during this preseason has looked potent and refined and it has been easy to see the benefits that adding Kawhi Leonard has brought and he has been fully bought into the movement system that Darko Rajakovic has built. Scottie Barnes has looked comfortable as well in this offense and he and Leonard have shown that they can coexist on the floor together in their limited minutes on the floor thus far.
