RAPTORS NOTES

• The Toronto Raptors continue a three-game homestand (Nov. 1-5) Tuesday night when they host the Miami Heat at Scotiabank Arena. Toronto has won a season-high seven straight games (Nov. 18 – Dec. 1). The Raptors swept the season-series (4-0) with Miami in 2018-19 for the second time in franchise history. Pascal Siakam averaged 18.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 2.8 assists in four victories over the Heat last season. Toronto is 13-5 against the Heat over the past five seasons (2014-19), winning the season-series four times during this stretch.

• Toronto has set a franchise record with nine straight victories at home to begin the season. The Raptors won seven consecutive games at Scotiabank Arena to open the 2018-19 campaign. Toronto is one of just four teams in the NBA still without a loss at home, joining Boston (7-0), Miami (8-0) and Philadelphia (9-0). The Raptors’ average margin of victory at home this season is +15.3 points, with five double-digit victories.

• Pascal Siakam scored a game-high 35 points (14-22 FG, 5-9 3PT, 2-2 FT), including 19 in the first quarter, Dec. 1 vs. Utah. His 19 points in the opening frame tied a career high for points in a quarter. Siakam also scored 19 points in the third quarter Feb. 13, 2019 vs. Washington and Oct. 30, 2019 vs. Detroit.

• Toronto led 77-37 at the half Wednesday night vs. Utah. Pascal Siakam scored 26 points and the Raptors had 21 assists on 29 made field goals in the first two quarters. The 40-point lead was the largest halftime lead in franchise history, the biggest halftime lead in the NBA this season, the largest halftime deficit in Jazz team history, and tied for the eighth-biggest lead at the half in NBA history.

• The Raptors will play 11 of 16 games at home in the month of December after playing eight of 13 on the road in November. December is Toronto’s busiest month of the season and includes three back-to-back sets. The Raptors’ 11 games at Scotiabank Arena tie the franchise record for most home games in a calendar month – Toronto also played 11 games at home in March 2016.

• Pascal Siakam has now scored 30 or more points in eight of the first 19 games of the season, including three times in the last five games (Nov. 23 – Dec. 1). Siakam’s eight 30-point outings in the first 20 games are second most in Raptors history behind only DeMar DeRozan who scored 30+ points 10 times in the first 20 games during the 2016-17 campaign.

• The Raptors shot a season-high .528 (19-for-36) from three-point range Dec. 1 vs. Utah. Toronto has made 51 three-point field goals over the last three games, shooting .443 (51-for-115) from beyond the arc. Fred VanVleet (12) and Pascal Siakam (11) have combined for 23 threes during this stretch. Toronto currently leads the NBA in three-point percentage (.389) and ranks fourth in three-pointers made per game (14.5), Houston (15.7), New Orleans (15.0) and Dallas (14.5).

• Fred VanVleet has scored 20 or more points in five of the past six games (Nov. 20 – Dec. 1). VanVleet is averaging 21.8 points, while shooting .468 (44-94) from the floor and .409 (18-44) from three-point distance during this stretch. VanVleet has now reached the 20-point mark nine times this season; something he did seven times in his first three seasons combined (2016-19).
