As the second seed in the Eastern Conference, the Toronto Raptors (58-24) have drawn the seventh-seed Orlando Magic (42-40) in the first round. It’s an interesting matchup for the Raptors, as they split the season series (2-2) with the Magic this season – though one of those losses came without Kawhi Leonard in the lineup.
