The Portland Trail Blazers and Toronto Raptors [submitted their injury lists](https://ak-static.cms.nba.com/referee/injury/Injury-Report_2025-04-02_05PM.pdf) for Thursday’s game in Canada, and the list is extensive. Toronto will be resting multiple key players, while the Blazers provided a similar injury report to recent games. Anfernee Simons missed Tuesday’s game after being questionable. Portland’s current “core three” of Deni Avdija, Shaedon Sharpe, and Toumani Camara are all expected to be active. The same cannot be said for Toronto’s core.

In the teams’ first contest a few weeks ago, Toronto [pulled Poeltl and Barnes early in the fourth quarter](https://www.blazersedge.com/2025/3/16/24387113/raptors-tanking-scottie-barnes-jacob-poeltl-blazers), surrendering a lead to the Blazers in the final minutes. The same players may not be active at all Thursday.
The Toronto Raptors, who are 5-5 in the last ten games, are close to locking in the 7th spot in the NBA Draft Lottery, being three wins ahead of the Brooklyn Nets and 3 wins behind the San Antonio Spurs. The Trail Blazers, who beat the Hawks Tuesday after four straight losses, are currently in the 9th spot in the lottery, two wins ahead of the Spurs, but just one win behind the Chicago Bulls and Miami Heat, and two wins behind the sinking Phoenix Suns.
