OKC vs TOR Dream11: Toronto Raptors head to the West for a regular-season matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder at Chesapeake Energy Arena on Thursday morning. Both the teams are in the playoff position in their respective conferences, and amongst favourites to qualify for the postseason.
That said, the Raptors have lost more games recently than they would have liked. Last game also ended in a defeat for the champions, this time at home as Santonio Spurs defeated Nick Nurse’s team 104-105 at Scotiabank Arena. Raptors are 25-14 in the season now and fourth in the Eastern Conference ranking.
