Dis no be just any ordinary game oh, as dem don turn di heat up since di blockbuster trade wey carry OG Anunoby go New York in exchange for RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley. Each team dey carry di drama of dis transfer enter di court, adding more fire to di rivalry wey dey between dem!
Raptors don hold di top seed for Group A and dem need to capitalize on dia home court advantage to snap out of dia recent three-game losing streak (abi na one week dem dey lose?).

One funny twist wey fit happen be di “Trade Bowl” – OG Anunoby go need to focus well to contain Brandon Ingram, di man wey dey fire for Toronto for attack. If Anunoby wan shine, he gatz make sure Ingram no dey chop points anyhow, else na Barrett and Scottie Barnes go carry di scoring load (!).
For backcourt area, Immanuel Quickley go dey face im former mentor, Jalen Brunson. Quickley gatz step up to manage di offense dem and still push di pace while challenging Brunson for di defense straight! E get beta make dem na dem show muscle instead of just gym flex.
Scottie Barnes, wey just receive di Defensive Player of di Month title, go also play key role. Di guy fit roam well, but di Knicks’ offensive schemes go try test am small. And make we no forget Jakob Poeltl, wey go need fight dia battle inside di paint wey go fit decide who dey control di board.
As dem dey hype for di game, di Raptors matter no fit fall behind o. Dem don dey anxious to turn di tides after losing five straight to di Knicks on dia home court.
