What Raptors Need For 50-Win Season

The Toronto Raptors are 32-23 going into the second half of the season.

This means that the Raptors will need to win 18 of their final 27 games to reach 50 wins for the first time since the 2019-20 campaign. The Raptors have a chance to win two of three games for the rest of the season, but they will need to make some changes.

"We were too low on the Toronto Raptors ahead of the season but dialed things in by December. Fueled by a pair of All-Stars in Scottie Barnes and Brandon Ingram, Toronto is scoring just enough to make its sixth-ranked defense count," Bleacher Report contributor Grant Hughes wrote.

"Rookie Collin Murray-Boyles' versatility on D has made him a viable starting center against most lineups, and the point guard combo of Immanuel Quickley and Jamal Shead assure the Raps have real depth that goes beyond their rangy wings and forwards.

"If Toronto can work its way to the foul line more often while scaling back its foul-happy ways on the other end, it could go a long way toward making a 50-win season possible. So far, the Raptors have allowed over 100 more opponent free-throw makes then they've collected themselves."
