The Brooklyn Nets take on the Toronto Raptors at Scotiabank Arena on Saturday night.

The Nets (13-11) continue their mostly solid play despite some key backcourt injuries, and they'll check into Saturday's game with four victories in their last six contests overall. One of those two losses came their last time on the court, however, as Brooklyn dropped a 113-108 decision to the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday night. Spencer Dinwiddie led the way with 24 points, complementing them with six assists, five rebounds and one steal. Jarrett Allen generated a 21-point, 10-rebound double-double that also included two assists and one block. Theo Pinson totaled 12 points, while Garrett Temple poured in 11 points.

The Nets will be without Kyrie Irving (shoulder), Caris LeVert (thumb), Nicholas Claxton (hamstring) and Wilson Chandler (suspension) on Saturday.

The Raptors (16-8) have enjoyed a strong start to their title-defense season overall, but they'll come into Saturday's contest in one of their poorer stretches of the season. Toronto has dropped four of its last five games, with its most recent stumble coming against the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night. Pascal Siakam led the way for the Raptors with 24 points, adding four rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal. Norman Powell tallied 22 points, three rebounds, one assist and one steal. OG Anunoby provided 13 points, seven boards, two blocks and one steal. Terence Davis led the bench with 10 points.

The Raptors will list Fred VanVleet (knee) as doubtful for Saturday's game, while Stanley Johnson (groin) is likely to carry the same designation. Matt Thomas (finger) will remain out.

Friday's game marks the first of four meetings between the teams this season. The Raptors won the four-game 2018-19 season series by a 3-1 margin.
