After a sluggish loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday, the Toronto Raptors will complete their three-game homestand Monday night against the Atlanta Hawks and high-scoring Trae Young.
Young scored 42 points in a 123-115 loss to the host Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday night and is averaging 31.5 points per game. He has scored at least 35 points in each of his past three games.
In losing 112-90 to the 76ers, who were without Joel Embiid on Friday, the Raptors were done in by Tyrese Maxey’s career-best 44 points.
The Raptors defeated the 76ers on Wednesday in the opener of the homestand.
Toronto guard Fred VanVleet was 0-for-8 from 3-point range Friday after going 77 straight games with at least one made 3-pointer. He finished with one point on 0-for-11 shooting from the field and 1-for-3 from the free-throw line.
VanVleet agreed he wasn’t himself on Friday.
The Hawks, who lost for the second time in six games on Saturday, led briefly by one point against the Bucks on Young’s 3-pointer with 4:09 to play.
Young said the loss was a learning experience for the Hawks.
