Canada has one NBA team, but it has a story: the 2019 title, led by Kawhi Leonard. The trade bringing him back to Toronto was finalized on September 14, 2026, after a league investigation into his contract with the Clippers. First trip back to Los Angeles: November 2. See our Raptors guide.
With 82 games and back-to-backs, rest matters: check who's playing before you bet, especially on the second night of a back-to-back.
