1 p.m. start today on Easter Sunday for the season finale against the Hawks. Even though a Hawks loss and Raptors win would leave them tied, the Hawks have the tie-breaker, so the game is as meaningless as it gets.
Jaylen and Al are definitely out. Marcus, Tatum, and Bob are all "questionable."
Will they completely empty the bench or actually try to work on stuff in this final game, with so much time until Game 1 of the playoffs? With coach Joe, good luck guessing!
So, what might the team be playing for?
Sam Hauser needs 14 points to get to 500 for the season (Brogdon hit 1000 on the nose last game), and 1 rebound to get to 200. Remarkably, both Brogdon and Hauser have hit the same number 3s: 132. Similarly, Smart and Granite have both hit 115 threes on the year, even though Marcus launched 51 more of them.
Luke Kornet hits 250 with just one more point, while Payton is at 240 (10 internet points for you if you predicted before the season that Luke would outscore Payton in the first 81 games).
Finally, Derek White, when he checks in, will have played in all 82 games of the regular season, which seems like quite the accomplishment in this day and age. What a trade.
