Starters: Anunoby, Poeltl, Siakam, Barnes, Schroderīench: Trent Jr., Dick, Achiuwa, McDaniels, Flynn By the first quarter, Rajakovic’s decisions made it seem like the ten men would be:

Pregame, Coach Rajakovic told the media that he was going into the start of the season with a ten man rotation, but that he wasn’t “married” to it - meaning things could change game by game. The TImberWolves started (Canadian) Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Mike Conley, Karl Anthony Towns, and Rudy Gobert. The Raptors went with a starting lineup of Dennis Schroder, Scottie Barnes, Pascal Siakam, Jakob Poeltl, and O.G. Luckily, the pieces came together and the Raptors were able to start the season with a 1-0 record, and Rajakovic got his first career win. Which seemed easy enough (ish?) given the Raptors went 4-0 in the preseason. Head Coach Darko Rajakovic kicked off his coaching career with a hefty task - not breaking Toronto’s 18 game winning streak against the TWolves at home. The Toronto Raptors kicked off their season tonight as they hosted the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight in Toronto.
