The days are growing dark in Raptorland, as the losses pile up and we struggle to remember if this team could ever really defend anyone to begin with.
Looking for a pick-me-up? Something to distract you from your troubles? How about a one-day fantasy basketball tournament, presented by FanDuel, SB Nation, and Raptors HQ?
Tonight's 13-game NBA slate should keep things plenty interesting with all the lineup possibilities and you'll have the chance to win some real money with the one you chose to submit. That should keep your mind off the loss column!

Want a Raptor in your lineup? How about:
Greivis Vasquez ($3,900)
Kyle Lowry is not likely to suit up for this one, as he's still having his back tested by team doctors and the Raptors won't want to rush him back this time with the playoffs only a few weeks away. Vasquez started Wednesday's game against the Bulls in Lowry's place and posted 22 points, two boards, three assists, one steal, and only two turnovers in 31 minutes of action - good enough for a cool 28.9 fantasy points. At a near-minimum salary of $3,900, that kind of production makes Greivis a very enticing option tonight, as he'll likely start at the one for the Raptors once again. Throw in the fact that the Lakers are dead last in the NBA in fantasy points allowed to opposing point guards (via RotoGrinders.com), and Vasquez becomes something closer to a must-play option.
It's time. Let's jump into the comment section and work together on constructing some winning lineups.
Note: This is a sponsored post from FanDuel, a site that features all sorts of one-day fantasy basketball tournaments like this one (which costs only $2 to play and features $10,000 for first place). All of the opinions in this post are my own, and as an FYI, FanDuel gave me some cash to play its daily fantasy games.
