Thunder and Raptors Tangle in Toronto
The Oklahoma City Thunder takes on the Toronto Raptors at Scotiabank Arena on Wednesday night.

The Thunder (7-16) have endured plenty of misery thus far this season, but their last time on the floor saw them notch a 114-103 win over the Detroit Pistons that snapped a nine-game losing streak. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the way for OKC with a 30-point, 13-assist double-double that included two rebounds and two blocks. Luguentz Dort furnished 28 points, two rebounds, two steals and two blocks. Josh Giddey and Kenrich Williams posted matching 12-point contributions while recording five and three assists, respectively.

The Thunder comes into Wednesday's game without any injuries to report.

The Raptors (11-13) had recently been mired in a multi-game skid themselves, but they've bounced back from it with two straight wins. Their most recent success came Sunday night, when they toppled the Washington Wizards by a 102-90 score. Pascal Siakam led the Raptors with 31 points, supplementing them with six rebounds and three assists. Chris Boucher provided 14 points, six rebounds and one assist. Scottie Barnes supplied 11 points, six boards, one assist and one block. Precious Achiuwa and Fred VanVleet generated matching 10-point tallies, with Achiuwa pulling down 14 rebounds.

The Raptors will continue without OG Anunoby (hip) and Khem Birch (knee) for Wednesday's contest.

Wednesday's game marks of the first of two meetings between the teams this season. The clubs split the two-game 2020-21 season series.
