2. Raptors return to the postseason
The Toronto Raptors have been a staple in the postseason for years now. They struggled with some inconsistencies last year and this caused them to miss it out. It is time for the Raptors to return after a one-year hiatus.

This is not impossible when looking at their track record. Both are impressive players that have experience on the biggest stage.
The addition of Scottie Barnes is big and OG Anunoby is continuing to improve for Toronto. If Anunoby has a breakout season as many expect, that goes a long way
