Who’s next?

Up next for the Herd are the Raptors 905, who they’ll take on Saturday afternoon in another matinee game at 1 PM central time in Mississauga, Ontario (this time, the game will be broadcasted on Eleven Sports or can be watched on the Go90 app for your conveinence).

This will mark the first meeting between both teams this season and it comes at an interesting time, considering both teams have taken different trajectories after their respective starts to the 2017-18 G League season.

After starting slow out of the gate to follow up their championship run last season, Raptors 905 have easily become the hottest team in the league as they’ve gone 13-2 over their last month of games, dating back to their 104-99 victory over the Windy City Bulls back on December 16.

Under the guidance of head coach and one-time Bucks wing Jerry Stackhouse, the Raptors 905 stand as an incredibly balanced team as they sport seven players who are averaging double figures in points per game at this point in the season.

For all those reasons, facing the Raptors 905 will stand as a tough test for a stumbling team like the Herd currently and they’ll certainly have to put their best foot forward to get back on the right track Saturday afternoon.
