Toronto Raptors

The Toronto Raptors have gotten off to a rocky start this season and are hoping to escape after two games after falling painfully short in a 127-125 overtime loss to the Nuggets on Monday. Scottie Barnes led the team with 21 points, 12 rebounds, nine assists and five steals, RJ Barrett added 20 points while Jakob Poeltl and Davion Mitchell each scored 16 points. As a team, the Raptors shot 45 percent from the field and 10 of 35 from the 3-point line, but it was as if the wind had been taken out of their sails when the Nuggets' Jamal Murray scored the game-winning basket at the buzzer knocking out the Raptors by 15 points. Then the Raptors meet the Lakers.

Charlotte Hornets

Meanwhile, the Charlotte Hornets are in similar shape as they, too, look to make a two-game stretch after being trounced by the Heat in a 114-106 loss on Saturday. LaMelo Ball led the team with 27 points, eight rebounds and seven assists, Miles Bridges added 16 points with nine rebounds, while Seth Curry contributed 15 points on six of 12 shooting. As a team, the Hornets shot just 43 percent from the field and 13 of 41 from the 3-point line while showing plenty of fight to cut a 14-point deficit to just three points late in the fourth quarter the balls ran out of time.
