"19.3 - The Raptors lead the league in fastbreak points per game at 19.3. What makes this even more impressive is that Toronto's leader in fastbreak scoring is RJ Barrett ( 4.0 per game, eighth in the NBA), who has missed 23 of the team's 46 games this season. Toronto's ability to remain the league's best transition offense without one of its most dangerous open-court players speaks to how committed the entire roster is to its pace and offensive identity."
"12.7 - Toronto also allows the second-fewest fastbreak points per game at just 12.7. Transition opportunities generate the easiest buckets in the NBA, and head coach Darko Rajaković clearly understands that reality. He has built offensive and defensive systems designed to maximize Toronto's transition scoring while aggressively limiting opponents' transition opportunities. With a league-best +6.6 advantage in fastbreak points per game, it is fair to call the Raptors the NBA's best transition team."
"2.15 - This is Toronto's assist-to-turnover ratio, which ranks second in the league. The Raptors have been criticized for lacking a truly elite, go-to scorer, but they compensate by consistently creating high-quality looks and limiting mistakes. Ensuring nearly every possession ends in a shot attempt and prioritizing ball movement has allowed Toronto to succeed against even the league's toughest defenses."
The Toronto Raptors sit 27-19, fourth in the Eastern Conference and on pace for 48 wins despite preseason projections below 40 victories. The team leads the NBA with 19.3 fastbreak points per game, notably while RJ Barrett — the team's top fastbreak scorer at 4.0 per game — has missed 23 games. Toronto allows just 12.7 fastbreak points per game, producing a league-best +6.6 fastbreak margin under coach Darko Rajaković's systems. The roster ranks second in assist-to-turnover ratio at 2.15, emphasizing ball movement and limiting mistakes. Starters have missed a combined 52 games, testing depth and resilience.
