We’re in the stretch run of a difficult, oft-joyless Toronto Raptors season. The play-in tournament is out of reach and there are far more looks ahead to the draft in our comments section than evaluations of the current crop. The stretch run is not the finish line itself, and we’ve got four more Raptors games before 2020-21 is put to bed.
Here are 10 things I’d like to see over the Raptors’ final week.

It’s possible by Sunday, the Raptors have locked in sole possession of the seventh-best lottery odds. If that’s the case, their game against Indiana won’t matter, freeing them up to play whatever lineup they choose.
