7. Toronto
Record: 24-13
Last week: 6th
Toronto suffered a tough loss Sunday night, losing at home to the Rockets despite DeMar DeRozan scoring 36 points and DeMarre Carroll adding 26. Houston, thanks in large part to Patrick Beverley, was able to keep Kyle Lowry under wraps for most of the game, and when Lowry isn't at his best the Raptors are going to have issues. However that hasn't been the norm this season, with Lowry playing at an All-Star level, and in Houston the Raptors faced the NBA's hottest team. Tuesday's home game against the Celtics is of far greater importance, as Boston is just one game out of first in the Atlantic Division. (Getty)
