In this story:

The Raptors will have their work cut out for them Monday night as they head West to take on the Denver Nuggets at 9 p.m. ET.

TSN and the FAN 590 will broadcast in Toronto. Altitude Sports and Altitude Sports 92.5 FM will call the game for Denver.

It'll be Toronto's first look at the two-time reigning MVP Nikola Jokic this year. The 28-year-old may be on the precipice of his third straight league MVP and the Raptors will certainly have their hands full. Expect O.G. Anunoby and Jakob Poeltl to share the Jokic assignment as Toronto does its best to contain the superstar center.
Toronto took two out of three against Chicago and Washington, but this three-game stretch is going to be a lot more difficult with Denver and a pair against the L.A. teams on the horizon. The Raptors are virtually a lock for the play-in tournament, but another two-out-of-three stretch should move Toronto past Atlanta and into the eighth seed in the conference.
Gary Trent Jr. and the bench looked stellar on Saturday night after a lousy showing last Thursday. So much of Toronto's success down this stretch is going to come down to consistent performances from the second unit. If Precious Achiuwa, Chris Boucher, and Trent can perform, the Raptors should be in good shape against some tough teams.

Otto Porter Jr. is the lone absentee for the Raptors.

Denver will be without Zeke Nnaji and Collin Gillespie. Vlatko Cantar is questionable to play and Thomas Bryant is probable.

The Raptors are +6.5 point underdogs with an implied win probability of 31.7%. The total for the game is 227.5.
