As the Raptors jockey for position in the Eastern Conference playoff race without Kyle Lowry , DeMar DeRozan has taken the reigns . DeRozan followed up a 43 - point outing against Boston with a team - high 33 in Toronto 's win over Portland on Sunday . DeRozan shot a stellar 9 - of - 16 and a very impressive 15 - of - 16 from the free - throw line . Newly-acquired Raptor Serge Ibaka , meanwhile , shot 8 - of - 15 for 18 points and came away with 10 rebounds , two steals , and a blocked shot . The Raps as a whole shot a very impressive 54 percent from the field . Portland , meanwhile , saw a nice 28 points and eight assists from star point guard Damian Lillard . Lillard shot 10 - of - 20 from the field and knocked down four three - pointers . Backcourt partner C.J . McCollum had another 17 points but shot just 6 - of - 19 . As a team , the Blazers hit only 44 percent of their shots . The host Toronto Raptors edged out the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday , 112 - 106 . Toronto ( 35 - 24 ) has now won three straight after a complete collapse during the month of January . The Raps are tied with Washington for third in the East and trail Boston by three games for the second seed . Despite missing star point guard Kyle Lowry , Toronto was able to hold on for the win on Sunday . This was largely due to the play of All-Star DeMar DeRozan , who led the team with 33 points on 9 - of - 16 shooting and a stellar 15 - of - 16 from the free - throw line . The Raptors offense as a whole functioned at a very high level throughout the game . The team shot almost 54 percent from the field and saw an additional 18 points come from newly - added big man Serge Ibaka . Ibaka also had 10 rebounds , two steals , and two blocks . Portland ( 24 - 34 ) is quickly losing ground in the tight Western Conference playoff race . Sunday did the team no favors , as they were defeated quite narrowly by the Lowry-less Raptors . Damian Lillard led the team with 28 points and shot an efficient 10 - of - 20 . He added eight assists . The team was relatively quiet on the inside , due in part to center Jusuf Nurkic being limited to just 21 minutes of play . Nurkic , a relatively new Trail Blazer who was acquired in a trade with deadline , had two teeth knocked out during a collision in the game . It did not keep him out of commission for too long , however , as the young big man simply handed the teeth to a trainer and readied himself to play again . The Blazers will visit Detroit on Tuesday while Toronto will see New York .
