The Toronto Raptors are struggling through a challenging start to the season, currently sitting at 2-9 and on a four-game losing streak. Their defense has been a major concern, ranking last in the NBA for defensive rating. Despite the challenges, there are signs of promise, particularly with players like Ochai Agbaji showing strong performances.

Coach Darko Rajakovic faces scrutiny for his decision-making during games, which has contributed to the team's woes. With injuries impacting their lineup, the Raptors need to find a consistent rotation and improve their offensive execution to turn their season around.
