The 4-3 Raptors bring the league’s stronger early-season profile into a Wednesday-night test against Denver’s high-powered offense.
Toronto visits Denver on Wednesday, Nov. 4, at 9 p.m. ET, with the 4-3 Raptors holding the No. 13 power index spot against the 3-3 Nuggets at No. 18. Toronto averages 119.1 points and allows 111.4 per game, while Denver scores 113.3 and gives up 115.7, making the Raptors’ attack a clear pressure point. Nikola Jokic has 132 points, 58 rebounds and 54 assists in six games, while Scottie Barnes leads Toronto with 171 points and 55 rebounds in seven. Denver’s ability to contain Barnes without letting Jokic’s playmaking dictate the pace could decide a matchup shaped by Toronto’s +54 point differential and Denver’s -14 mark; Jakob Poeltl is questionable for the Raptors and Kawhi Leonard is out.
