Raptors vs. Watch the Nets LIVE tonight at 7:30pm ET/4:30pm on TSN1, the TSN app and TSN.ca.

Toronto (25-54) is looking to get back into the win column after falling to the Indiana Pacers 140-123 on Tuesday night. The Raptors have won two games after a 15-game losing streak and are hoping to finish the season on a high note.

“It's been a tough season,” Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic said before Tuesday's game. “Everybody in this organization is working really, really hard to change that.

“They're all excited about the summer and the opportunities ahead of us, and we're really focused on getting better and winning a lot more games in the future.”

Point guard Javon Freeman-Liberty scored a career-high 20 points on Tuesday, adding eight rebounds and two assists in the loss.

“It's not a position he's used to playing a lot, so he's playing out of position,” Rajakovic said. “He does a really good job of keeping us organized, communicating and learning quickly.”

“Just go out there and play my game, be aggressive,” Freeman-Liberty said as he approached. “Don't try to go out of the ordinary or do too much. Just take what the defense gives me, honestly.''

The 24-year-old signed a two-way contract with the Raptors in July, and the deal became a multi-year contract with the NBA on March 1. Raptors this season.

Mississauga, Ont., native RJ Barrett scored 23 points in Tuesday's loss and has now reached the 20-point mark in six games and 10 of his last 11 games. The 23-year-old has averaged 21.3 points, 6.2 rebounds and 4.1 assists since being acquired in a trade from the New York Knicks in late December.

The Raptors are 12th in the Eastern Conference and have the sixth-worst record in the league and must maintain their current position in the standings to increase their chances of retaining a first-round pick this summer.

The conditional pick was traded to the San Antonio Spurs last season in exchange for center Jacob Poeltl. However, if he goes in the top six of the draft lottery, the Raptors will keep the pick. If the Raptors finish the season with the sixth-worst record, the pick has a 45.8 percent chance of landing in the top six. The Raptors are six games ahead of the Portland Trail Blazers (21-58) and two games behind the Memphis Grizzlies (27-52).

The Raptors will once again be without Scotty Barnes, Jacob Poeltl, Chris Boucher and Jontay Porter. Guard Immanuel Quickley (rest) did not play Tuesday.

The Nets (31-48) lost to the Sacramento Kings 107-77 on Sunday. The Nets currently have the ninth-worst record in the league, but do not have a first-round pick because their 2024 first-rounder was traded to the Houston Rockets for James Harden.

“We just have to keep building,” Brooklyn swingman Mikal Bridges said. “Keep playing right, keep playing hard.”

After today's game in Brooklyn, the Raptors close out the season with back-to-back games in Miami on Friday and Sunday.
