KEY GAME INFORMATION
TORONTO: He was never quite right health-wise late last year (which led to the poor conditioning head coach Dwane Casey cited this summer). Still, if healthy, Kyle Lowry can regain the borderline All-Star form he had two years ago . . . DeMar DeRozan makes a fine living attacking and getting to the line, but he has still yet to add a consistent three-point shot . . . Cory Joseph had quietly developed into one of the league's best back-up point guards in San Antonio, a lock down defender and efficient offensive player . . . Rookie Delon Wright does a lot of things well, but is most likely looking at a developmental year . . . Norman Powell is a big scoring guard who could be a solid bench piece down the line. The Raptors spent big to bring in DeMarre Carroll, a true 3-and-D wing . . . With Amir Johnson signing with Boston, Patrick Patterson has a chance to step into the starting lineup. He's fairly one-dimensional offensively, mostly camping out for corner threes . . . Toronto brought in competition for the power forward spot by signing Luis Scola. He's a mediocre at best defensively, but can take advantage of weaker defenders in the low-post . . . His development seems to have stalled, and Terrence Ross will try to reinvent himself as a sixth man . . . James Johnson has never been capable of handling big minutes, but he's a solid second-unit player who does everything well . . . Bruno Caboclo is still at least a year away from the rotation. Jonas Valanciunas has plenty of talent, but he doesn't do the little things well on offense (like screening) and is a defensive liability. It's why his minutes will continue to be limited . . . Bismack Biyombo is a zero on offense, but he's effective as a rim-protector and rebounder . . . Lucas Nogueira is still coming along as a long-term project.
MINNESOTA: They've found some depth at the point, meaning Ricky Rubio's minutes can be scaled back. He missed 60 games with an ankle injury last year, and he has missed at least 20 in three of his four seasons . . . Minnesota will surely shop veteran scorer Kevin Martin as the year goes on, but he's likely the top scorer in Minnesota as long as he stays in town . . . Zach LaVine showed flashes of being more than a super-athletic dunk artist last season, holding his own at the point for stretches after Rubio went down. He'll assume a combo guard role off the bench this year and is still a work in progress . . . A lack of size and athleticism will make it an uphill battle for local hero Tyus Jones, despite his success in last year's trainwreck of a Final Four. Last year was quite encouraging for Andrew Wiggins, who scored effectively by getting to the line frequently. Now he needs to add a jumper . . . Kevin Garnett said he'll start but be limited to 20 or so minutes per night as he assumes a player/coach role . . . They got a nice addition in 2015 Euroleague MVP Nemanja Bjelica, a skilled power forward who should help the offense run more smoothly . . . Shabazz Muhammad might be able to establish himself as a high-scoring sixth man . . . Minnesota took a flier on Adreian Payne, who struggled as a rookie but has size and decent shooting touch . . . Damjan Rudez gives them a veteran spot-up shooter off the bench . . . Anthony Bennett has shown no signs of being anything better than a dumpster fire . . . Karl-Anthony Towns is the rare rebounder and rim-protector who can also step away from the basket and stretch the floor on the offensive end. His longterm upside is huge . . . Gorgui Dieng gives them a solid defensive presence and a decent mid-range jumper, but might have a tough time meshing with Towns . . . Nikola Pekovic is still a beast on the offensive boards but can't stay healthy. He's trade bait.
PREVIEW
Raptors-Timberwolves Preview
By KEVIN CHROUST STATS Writer

The Toronto Raptors might be earning an extended break more than any other team, but given how they're playing, they might also be the last to want to kill their momentum.

Toronto can head into the All-Star break with 15 wins in 16 games Wednesday night, and there's been no shortage of success against the Minnesota Timberwolves for 12 seasons.

The Raptors (35-16) have won three straight after Monday's 103-89 victory in Detroit. They've taken seven of eight on the road in their 14-1 span while winning three of four to start a season-high six-game road stretch that'll conclude after the break.

Toronto shot 55.7 percent against the Pistons - a season best on the road - and it's 23 of 39 (59.0 percent) from 3-point range in the last two games.

"We're growing a lot," guard DeMar DeRozan told the team's official website. "I think we've got to credit the coaching staff for really staying disciplined with us and understanding no matter how many games we win in a row or what record we stand at in the conference, we've got to play with that sense of urgency every single night."

Kyle Lowry has done that. His 25 points led the way in Detroit, and the guard has averaged 27.0 points and shot 56.3 percent in the last three games, including 14 of 25 from 3-point range. His 21.1 points per game is well up from his career high of 17.9 in 2013-14, and that has plenty to do with a career-best 39.7 percent mark from long range while attempting a career-high 7.1 per game.

Lowry has also had at least two steals in seven straight games, and his season average of 2.25 is a drastic bump from last season's career-best 1.56.

Bench play has also been a significant part of the success, scoring 42 points against the Pistons and hitting 8 of 12 from 3-point range with Terrence Ross scoring 18 and Cory Joseph adding 15 on 7-of-9 shooting. Dwane Casey's reserves have averaged 36.1 points and shot 49.9 percent over the last 13 games.

"I thought Cory and T. Ross came in, (Patrick Patterson) was a plus-23 and he was 3 for 4 from the field so he was doing some energetic things defensively, (he was) active, moving the basketball, he was screening and creating space, and Cory was Cory," Casey said. "Coming in and changing the game with his energy and toughness and grit and grime. The bench really came in and carried us tonight."

The Raptors have won 20 of 21 meetings dating to the start of 2004-05, and a 113-99 victory in Minnesota on April 1 came with Lowry sidelined.

For Minnesota (16-37), Monday's 116-102 home loss to New Orleans ended a two-game winning streak, and it has its opponent scoring average at 110.5 over the last four.

While opponents have shot 40.2 percent from long range in those games, the Timberwolves' perimeter game has been awful over the past six contests while connecting on 25.0 percent and 3 of 24 in the last two.

"We talked less last night," center Gorgui Dieng told the team's official website. "I think that's what coach (Sam Mitchell) was trying to emphasize today, just to make sure we talk more on defense. Talking defensively, especially me and (Karl-Anthony Towns), telling people where they're at. That was a big communication night and we missed it."

Towns has otherwise been a bright spot with eight straight double-doubles while averaging 21.8 points on 60.0 percent shooting with 12.5 rebounds.
