STUDS OF THE NIGHT

DUD OF THE NIGHT

WHAT'S NEXT

Raptors (12-3) at Celtics (8-6) 7 p.m. ET —  Is it crazy to think the Warriors' biggest competition for the NBA title this season will come from the Eastern Conference? It might not be. The Raptors are playing great with newly added Kawhi Leonard and the Celtics still have possibly the deepest roster in the NBA. The two teams match up Friday.
