What you need to know about the Raptors
Meanwhile, winning is just a little bit easier when you work as a team to rack up 19 more assists than your opponent, a fact the Raptors proved on Sunday. They blew past Detroit 142-113, and the Raptors' win was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from Pascal Siakam , who scored 23 points along with seven rebounds and six assists, while Jakob Poeltl dropped a double-double on 16 points and 10 rebounds.
The Raptors have good balance with six players averaging in double-figures. Scottie Barnes leads the way with 20.1 points per game, and he's filling up the box score, ranking in the top 20 of the NBA in rebounds, assists, steals and blocks. However, Siakam has seen his numbers regress a bit as he's averaging 19.4 PPG, which is down nearly five points from his average a year ago. See which team to pick here .
