Pascal Siakam and the Toronto Raptors (34-30) will take on Dejounte Murray and the San Antonio Spurs (25-40) in part of the Wednesday NBA slate.
Despite the many ups-and-downs of the season for the Raptors, they remain very much in contention holding a play-in spot. While the Brooklyn Nets also are in that same mix, there is multiple playoff spots up for grabs using the play-in tournament.

In the midst of a rare losing season, the Spurs are looking to maximize the development of Dejounte Murray and Keldon Johnson along with no shortage of other members of the roster.
