For the first time this season, Toronto has ruled out Jakob Poeltl and RJ Barrett for “rest” ahead of Friday’s game against the Utah Jazz. Both starters will sit as the Raptors continue their descent toward the bottom of the standings against one of the league’s worst teams.

The Toronto Rptors are 19-42 in the season and own the third-worst record in the Eastern Conference, although their future is bright. Scottie Barnes has remained a star, they added Brandon Ingram, and young role players like Immanuel Quickley, RJ Barrett, and Gradey Dick have all continued to improve.

Ja’Kobe Walter swished a contested 3-pointer with 0.5 seconds remaining and the Toronto Raptors edged the Orlando Magic 114-113 after blowing a 12-point lead in the fourth quarter.
