2016 Toronto Raptors preseason schedule
CanadianCrossing.com NBA coverage
The team had its most successful season last year, bringing plenty of pressure to climb even higher. The Raptors kept together the starting background of Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan.
The Toronto Raptors will have fewer distractions. No game in London. No All-Star Game at the Air Canada Centre. But this team does have expectations, very high expectations.
The Raptors start out with a 3-game homestand welcoming Detroit, Cleveland, and Denver. Those last 2 games are on U.S. television. The first road game will be at Washington on November 2. Toronto plays 5 of the first 6 games in Canada.
TSN and Rogers Sportsnet will split the Raptors games again this season. Truly, check your local listings.
