The Toronto Raptors<\/a> will try to get back on the winning track on Wednesday as they host the Sacramento Kings<\/a> in the second half of a back-to-back.<\/p>\n

Watch the Raptors and Kings LIVE tonight at 8 p.m. ET\/5 p.m. PT on TSN4, the TSN App, and TSN.ca.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Raptors are coming off a 127-116 road loss to the Eastern Conference-leading Detroit Pistons<\/a> on Tuesday. Jalen Duren<\/a> had 31 points for the Pistons, who have won six of eight games since star Cade Cunningham<\/a> went down with a collapsed lung.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe did not make enough shots to keep up with them. They had a great night,\u201d Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic said in his post-game media availability. \u201cThat\u2019s a really great team, especially when they shoot the ball like they were tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brandon Ingram<\/a> returned from a one-game absence on Tuesday and scored 22 points on 7-of-15 shooting. Collin Murray-Boyles<\/a> also returned from a one-game absence against the Pistons, pouring in 14 points to go along with 10 rebounds, two steals and a block in the loss.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe played the last couple of games without BI. He just came back and that changes the dynamics. CMB missed a couple of games and now he\u2019s back. Usually when that happens we need a couple of games to get organized and get on the same page,\u201d said Rajakovic. <\/p>\n

The Raptors will make the short trip back to Scotiabank Arena for Wednesday\u2019s game, where they will try to extend their home winning streak to six games. Toronto has not lost a game at home since a 111-95 loss to the New York Knicks<\/a> on March 3. Since then, the Raptors have rattled off five wins against the Dallas Mavericks<\/a>, Phoenix Suns<\/a>, Pistons, New Orleans Pelicans<\/a> and the Orlando Magic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The win over the Magic this past Sunday was the Raptors best performance of the season, as the club went on a historic 31-0 run, the largest unanswered scoring run since the NBA began tracking play-by-play data 30 years ago, in a 51-point victory.<\/p>\n

Toronto (42-33) will look to find the same winning formula at home on Wednesday as they try to finish off the season sweep of the Kings. The Raptors won the first meeting between the teams, 122-109 on Jan. 21.<\/p>\n

The Raptors currently sit sixth in the Eastern Conference, one half game behind the fifth-place Atlanta Hawks<\/a> and one game ahead of the Philadelphia 76ers<\/a>, who occupy the first spot in the NBA\u2019s Play-In Tournament. <\/p>\n

Point guard Immanuel Quickly did not play Tuesday as he continues to manage plantar fasciitis. There has been no update on his status for tonight\u2019s contest. <\/p>\n

The Kings (19-57) are 6-32 on the road and are playing out the remainder of a difficult season.<\/p>\n

They will be without Domantas Sabonis<\/a> (back), Russell Westbrook<\/a> (foot), De\u2019Andre Hunter (eye), Zach LaVine<\/a> (finger), and Drew Eubanks<\/a> (thumb), who have all been ruled out for the season. Forward Keegan Murray<\/a> will also remain out with an ankle injury.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Toronto Raptors will try to get back on the winning track on Wednesday as they host the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":552654,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3770],"tags":[23475,7,6,681,59685,680,476,47315,3820],"class_list":{"0":"post-692076","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-toronto-raptors","8":"tag-apple-news","9":"tag-basketball","10":"tag-nba","11":"tag-raptors","12":"tag-sacramento-kings-sports-basketball-team-team-statscom-23","13":"tag-toronto","14":"tag-toronto-raptors","15":"tag-toronto-raptors-sports-basketball-team-team-statscom-28","16":"tag-torontoraptors"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/692076","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=692076"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/692076\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/552654"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=692076"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=692076"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=692076"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
