Starting Lineups: Nov. 24
The Toronto Raptors are playing like they can't be stopped. Winners of four straight, the Raptors have made a big comeback against Utah, edged a shorthanded Memphis team, set a franchise record for margin of victory against Milwaukee, and owned the Cavaliers in Cleveland.
Phoenix is the next test for the 11-2 Raptors, and the Suns visit The North on a four-game winning streak of their own. The potential for dueling three-guard lineups is simply too much to pass up on a night with seven games that's a little thin on marquee matchups.
Speaking of the Cavaliers, they'll look to right the ship when they host the Magic, while the 76ers aim for their first win and Carmelo Anthony gets a taste of what life in Houston could have been like.
