Toronto Raptors vs. Denver Nuggets preview

The Toronto Raptors have enjoyed a successful Summer League and remain unbeaten. In their first game, they faced fellow Eastern Conference rivals the Chicago Bulls, securing a blowout 116-72 victory. They followed it up with a win against another team from the East, beating the Orlando Magic by a three-point margin.

In both games, two-way player A.J. Lawson led from the front, averaging 21.5 points. He recorded 22 points against the Bulls and followed it up with a 21-point performance against Orlando, shooting an impressive 100% from the field.

On the other hand, the Denver Nuggets have struggled so far. Facing the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday, they suffered a heartbreaking 90-89 loss, which was followed by an 11-point defeat to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Their losses have been a product of their slow starts to games, as they will hope to change that against the Raptors.

In terms of scoring, Denver's most consistent performer across two games was Hunter Tyson, averaging 12.5 ppg. However, in their last game, Spencer Jones led them from the front, recording 19 points while shooting 8-for-12 from the field.
