Toronto is coming off a tough 102-99 loss to Memphis on Friday in the opener of a four-game homestand, as Jerryd Bayless scored 18 points and James Johnson added 14 in defeat. Leandro Barbosa chipped in 13 for Toronto, which has dropped six of eight games and was playing its 17th straight contest without leading scorer Andrea Bargnani because of a left calf injury. “We had trouble scoring, we turned the ball over and we couldnt make buckets,” Raptors coach Dwane Casey said of the third quarter. “Every time we turned the ball over they turned up the heat.” The Raptors shot a decent 52.8 percent, but Memphis scored 24 points off 16 turnovers. Toronto is 5-12 as the host and will also entertain Orlando and Houston up north on the current homestand. DeMar DeRozan is averaging 16.8 points in 17 home games this season.

Monta Ellis scored 20 points and handed out seven assists for Golden State, which is 2-2 on a six-game road trip and had won three of four games before losing to the Sixers. Dorell Wright was the only other scorer in double figures with 10 points. “They got whatever they wanted. We didnt come out of the locker room with the right mind set,” Warriors head coach Mark Jackson said. “They jumped on us and took total control of the basketball game.” Golden State is 5-10 away from Oakland this season and will close out the road swing Monday at Washington. Warriors guard Stephen Curry has missed two of the last three games with a strained tendon in his right foot and is listed as questionable for Sunday. Lees 19.3 points per game rank fourth among power forwards. Ellis leads the team with 22.2 ppg. Toronto and Golden State are meeting for the first time since the Warriors swept a home-and-home set a year ago.
