What happened

Toronto enters Monday’s home game with a 5-1 record against sub-.500 opponents, but it is 0-4 against teams above .500 this season.

Memphis started 6-0 before dropping three straight in November, leaving the Grizzlies as an unpredictable opponent for the Raptors at Scotiabank Arena.

LINEUP CONTEXT

Toronto’s home matchup looks like a test of whether its current rotation can handle stronger competition, while Memphis’s recent slump leaves its exact level uncertain.
