The Rap-Up: Kicking off the NBA Cup
Briefly

"As luck would have it - or bad luck, depending on your team (real or fantasy) - multiple teams have been ravaged with significant injuries. This week alone, Ja Morant, Kevin Durant, Chet Holmgren, Zion Williamson, Tyrese Maxey, and Aaron Gordon went down with injuries and are expected to miss the opening of the NBA Cup."
"The theme of the week is to tread lightly. When the schedule was released, the Raptors' slate was widely viewed as one of the most difficult. With 22 of the first 25 games against playoff teams last season, Toronto had little to look forward to before the NBA Cup playoffs."
"Ironically, the Raptors' first game of the NBA Cup may not be as daunting as first perceived. Milwaukee's record is just 2-4, with losses to lesser teams. Their victories are over a depleted 76ers team and the worst team in the West."
