The Golden State Warriors will make the third stop of their four-game road trip in Toronto to take on the Raptors on Monday. Both teams have struggled as of late, as Golden State enters the matchup with a 1-3 record over their last four games, while Toronto is amidst a five-game skid.
The Raptors are near the bottom of the Eastern Conference after 39 games, coming into Monday night's matchup with an 8-31 record and the 14th seed in the standings. Toronto is enduring a tough stretch, emerging victorious just once dating back to Dec. 5. In that span, the Raptors are just 1-16.
Golden State has tumbled down the Western Conference standings following a 12-3 start to the season. The Warriors are just 7-16 since then, hoping to re-enter the playoff picture as the 11th seed.
Monday night will mark the first of two matchups between these teams this season. The second matchup is scheduled for March 19 from Golden State. Despite just eight wins on the season, several key injuries in Golden State's locker room could tip the scales in the Raptors' favor.
Here's a look at the projected starting lineups and depth charts for each side entering tonight's contest.
