Jakob Poeltl had 21 points and 14 rebounds, Scottie Barnes had 21 points and 11 boards, and the Toronto Raptors beat the New Orleans Pelicans 113-104 on Monday night for their first four-game winning streak in almost two years.

Averaging career highs in both points (14.7) and rebounds (10.4), Jakob Poeltl's trade value is at an all-time high. He has been linked to the Los Angeles Lakers, Golden State Warriors, and San Antonio Spurs, and is set to make $19.5 million through the next three seasons.

In some ways, comparing Scottie Barnes and Zion Williamson is like a basketball philosophy test. As the two squared off Monday, Barnes showed why the Raptors feel their star is only getting better.

Here we will discuss the two best trades that the Toronto Raptors must make before the 2025 NBA trade deadline.

Jakob Poeltl had 21 points, 14 rebounds and three blocks as the Toronto Raptors defeated the visiting New Orleans Pelicans 113-104 on Monday night to stretch their winning streak to four games.

The Raptors have reeled off four wins in a row and have posted victories in six of their past seven games in what has inarguably been the best stretch of basketball played under second-year head coach Darko Rajakovic. A winnable game in Washington awaits Wednesday night followed by another winnable game Friday when Chicago comes to town.
