Scottie Barnes, Toronto Raptors<\/p>\n

The Toronto Raptors<\/a> wrapped up a blowout loss on the road against the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday, March 31.<\/p>\n

As the Raptors struggled to overcome the Eastern Conference\u2019s top team, the veteran star Scottie Barnes had a tough outing.<\/p>\n

In 27 minutes against the Pistons, Barnes shot 2-8 from the field. He scored just five points. As a playmaker, Barnes thrived with 12 assists to four turnovers. On the boards, he only had one rebound.<\/p>\n

The Raptors lost to the Pistons 127-116.<\/p>\n

Now, the Raptors might lose Scottie Barnes for the second night of their back-to-back set.<\/p>\n

The Raptors are exceeding expectations in 2025-2026.<\/p>\n

Last year, many questioned their personnel decisions throughout the year, but they were making contender-caliber acquisitions with the future season in mind. The future is here, and the Raptors have gone from lottery team to playoff squad.<\/p>\n

However, the Raptors have to protect their standing in the top six. That has been a difficult task as of late.<\/p>\n

Recently, the red-hot Atlanta Hawks<\/a> jumped the Raptors for the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference. Now, the Raptors are getting threatened by the Philadelphia 76ers<\/a>, who are 1.0 games behind them.<\/p>\n

Heading into the Kings matchup, the Raptors are 42-33. Meanwhile, the Kings are the last seed in the Western Conference with a 19-57 record. They\u2019ve lost four straight games and are just 3-7 over the past 10 matchups.<\/p>\n

Barnes\u2019 availability for Toronto is a big question on Wednesday night. The Raptors and the Kings will battle it out at 8 PM ET.<\/p>\n
