For the first time this season, Toronto has ruled out Jakob Poeltl and RJ Barrett for “rest” ahead of Friday’s game against the Utah Jazz. Both starters will sit as the Raptors continue their descent toward the bottom of the standings against one of the league’s worst teams.

The Toronto Raptors have proven they can win and learn at the same time, and they aim to continue the trend Friday night against the visiting Utah Jazz.
