Toronto Raptors guard Terence Davis, centre, celebrates with teammates during a win over the Chicago Bulls on Feb. 2, 2020. the Raptors are looking for their 12th straight win against the Indiana Pacers on Feb. 5, 2020.But despite a banged-up roster, and boasting no bona fide superstars, the Raptors are poised to set a franchise-best winning streak. And the adversity they’ve faced this season makes it that much sweeter.
The Raptors’ sizzling stretch came despite missing several key players, and the injury misery continues. Marc Gasol reaggravated his hamstring injury and could be out until after NBA all-star weekend. Norm Powell broke a finger last weekend, and had it heavily bandaged at Tuesday’s practice. The Raptors could be in tough against an Indy team that’s flown under the radar in the Eastern Conference, sitting just five games behind Toronto.
“He’s not in a rhythm yet, so that’s good. Hopefully he stays out of rhythm,” Lowry said of facing Oladipo. “But I’m happy any time a guy like that comes back, a good guy, a guy who worked so hard to become who he was. I’m happy for him, honestly.”
