"After meeting in the opening game of the season, the Toronto Raptors and Atlanta Hawks are back at it. This matchup, however, comes in the form of the NBA Cup, where both teams are 1-0 and top the group. The winner of this one between the pair of overall 4-4 squads will have a solid chance to win the group and advance in the tournament, something the Raptors have never done."
"It was an opening night to remember for the Raptors when these pair of teams squared off - especially if you attended Raptors Republic's watch party - with Toronto dismantling the Hawks. It was the first time since 2011 that the Dinos didn't start a season north of the border, and only the seventh time in the franchise's 31-year history they began a fresh campaign on the road."
Toronto Raptors and Atlanta Hawks meet again in an NBA Cup matchup with both teams 1-0 and leading East Group A. The winner will have a strong chance to win the group and advance; the Raptors have never advanced in the Cup. Atlanta sits 1-0 (+20) and Toronto 1-0 (+11), with Washington, Cleveland, and Indiana following.

Brandon Ingram is averaging 21.1 points on 54.5/36.7/86.7 shooting splits for a 63.0 percent true shooting, and Toronto’s record stands at 4-4 with noted offensive and defensive ratings.
