Gameday Thread: Toronto Raptors vs. Portland Trail Blazers

Welcome to the Gameday Open Thread at Blazer’s Edge! This is a place to hang out and enjoy tonight’s festivities with your fellow fans. Treat it as if you’re watching a game at the local watering hole, but hopefully without the language. Expect some disagreements, and a fair amount of changing emotions. But we'll get through it together.

Injury update: For the Blazers, Robin Lopez is out until at least late January with a fractured hand, and Meyers Leonard (shoulder sprain) is deactivated. LaMarcus Aldridge (illness) returns tonight, but in limited minutes:

LaMarcus @aldridge_12 will play tonight, though Terry Stotts says he probably won't play his usual minutes
