He finished with 15 rebounds in just 25 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only time Toronto came close to slowing down Edey was with Kelly Olynyk on the floor. But Olynyk was dealt to the New Orleans Pelicans just hours after that game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Orlando Robinson, come on down. The undrafted centre is on his third team in three seasons, and he just might get the start for Toronto on Friday due to process of elimination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s get back to Hartenstein for a second. The primary risk for him is the reinsertion of Chet Holmgren into the lineup, but Holmgren hasn&#8217;t played since Nov. 10 and will likely be on a minutes restriction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hartenstein is averaging 12.2 rebounds. And now he&#8217;s facing a squad that doesn&#8217;t have a healthy NBA-calibre centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Facing a Poeltl-less Raptors squad in December, Hartenstein grabbed 16 rebounds in 28 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-479767b6-5872-497b-ac44-239c07c7e3d5\"><strong>Key stat<\/strong>: Hartenstein has gone over 10.5 rebounds in seven of his past nine games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quick pick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Quickley over 4.5 assists (+100):<\/strong> OKC is arguably the best defensive team in the NBA, so this isn&#8217;t a good matchup for many overs on the Toronto side. But I&#8217;m intrigued by this assist number for Quickley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Injuries have plagued Quickley this season, but he&#8217;s not on the injury report for Friday. That means the starting point guard spot is his.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And as a starting PG, isn&#8217;t a five-assist performance awfully reasonable? After all, he&#8217;s averaging 5.7 assists in 12 games this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quickley has cashed this bet in six of nine games since Jan. 1. I&#8217;m hoping Scottie Barnes assumes more of a scoring role tonight and allows IQ to do his thing as a facilitator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Picks made at 11:15 a.m. ET 02\/07\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In their first post-trade-deadline matchup, the Toronto Raptors hit the road to face the Oklahoma City Thunder.
