The Toronto Raptors will be right back at it Saturday night on the second night of a back-to-back in Minnesota against the Timberwolves at 8 p.m. ET.RJ Barrett is making the trip to Minnesota
and it looks like he may be cleared to make his season debut. Toronto is certainly going to need him back and healthy after the Canadian forward looked fantastic late last season with the Raptors. The key for Barrett if he plays will be maintaining his offensive efficiency from last season while taking a step forward defensively as Toronto's top on-ball defensive wing.supplanted Bruno Fernando in the rotation on Friday night, and Toronto would be wise to stick with that against Minnesota.
Scottie Barnes did a great job of being aggressive without forcing shots on Friday and Toronto will want to see that again from its All-Star forward against Minnesota's tough paint defense. Barnes picked on the Tyrese Maxey mismatch against Philadelphia and made smart passes when the 76ers brought help. That should be the gameplan against the Timberwolves on Saturday too.Immaniel Quickley, Kelly Olynyk, Bruce Brown, and Ja'Kobe Walter are all expected to be out for Toronto.
