Tonight is Raptors at Trail Blazers, 10 PM tipoff. Our Raps have won their last two games and Jermaine O'Neal is coming off his best game of the season. During the last match-up between these two teams JO had 26 points to go along with 8 rebounds and 6 blocks, and last night against the Kings he had his highest scoring output in two seasons. Hopefully he can keep it up and Chris Bosh can bust out of his slump to give Portland big men a hard time.

What to Watch for:
- The Raptors have arguably the best big man combo in CB4 and JO, but Portland boasts several talented post players themselves: Joel Pryzbilla, LaMarcus Aldridge and rookie Greg Oden. The battle down low will be very important in this game.
- Brandon Roy's fantastic start has been slowed recently, but he dropped 22 in the Blazers' previous game and is always a threat to dominate the scoreboard. The Raps' perimeter defense will need to stay focused to keep him from taking the game over.
- The Trail Blazers have one of the best home records in the league at 10-3. Hopefully our boys can hang around and steal one on the road.
