The Toronto Raptors continue a seven-game homestand on Tuesday when they host the Memphis Grizzlies.
To open this extended stretch at home, Toronto suffered a 12-point loss to the Boston Celtics on Sunday, a game in which the shorthanded Raptors simply did not have enough on either end of the floor.

With OG Anunoby, Khem Birch and Gary Trent Jr. sidelined due to injury, the Raptors' rotation was thin against the Celtics and the team's bench was outscored 32-13, with Chris Boucher receiving a DNP-CD. Anunoby and Birch will remain out against the Grizzlies but Trent is listed as questionable as of 7:30 a.m. on Tuesday morning.
Having lost two in a row, the Raptors will now look to get back on track against a Grizzlies team they saw less than a week ago. Last Wednesday, Toronto outscored Memphis 67-42 in the second half to earn a 13-point road win.

Just six days later, things are much different for the Grizzlies, who will be without star point guard Ja Morant Tuesday. In a loss to the Hawks last Friday, Morant avoided a major injury but still suffered a sprained left knee that will keep him sidelined for a few weeks.
In the first game without their leading scorer, it was Mississauga's Dillon Brooks that led the way for the Grizzlies, scoring 21 points in a blowout win over the Sacramento Kings. Brooks, who should have plenty of friends and family in attendance, will look to keep it rolling as he's averaging 18.6 points through seven games this season.

Can the Raptors improve upon their 2-7 record at Scotiabank Arena or will Brooks make himself at home to get the Grizzlies (10-10) back above .500?
