Toronto (15-12) at Seattle (7-19)

When: 7:30 p.m., KeyArena. TV: FSN. Radio: 770-AM.

Series: Seattle split the season series with the Raptors last season, winning at home, 110-97, and losing in Toronto in overtime, 120-119.

Scouting the Raptors: Toronto is in the middle of a seven-game trip through the Western Conference. The Seattle stop is the Raptors’ third game on the road.

Toronto defeated the L.A. Clippers, 80-77, on Tuesday but lost to Portland, 101-96, on Wednesday.

Toronto point guard Jose Calderon, who had a season high-tying 19 points and nine assists against the Blazers, has emerged as a consistent contributor after regular starter T.J. Ford suffered a head injury in a win over Atlanta on Dec. 11. Ford probably will not play, which means Calderon should extend his run as a starter to six straight games tonight. He’s averaging 13.8 points and 9.2 assists in the five games Ford has missed.

Toronto also is a good 3-point shooting team, leading the league in 3-point, field-goal percentage at 42.8 percent a contest. Seattle has struggled defending the 3-point line so far this season.

Seattle head coach P.J. Carlesimo said the Sonics will have to defend the pick-and-roll tonight, with Toronto running 55 to 60 of them a game. Making it harder on the Sonics is the Raptors have several players who can shoot from beyond the arc, so Seattle will have to vary who comes to help off the pick and roll. Listen to Carlesimo talk about the matchup here.

Chris Bosh leads the Raptors in scoring (19.1 points a game) and rebounding (8.9 rebounds a contest).

Scouting the Sonics: Starting small forward Damien Wilkins has struggled recently. Since his 41-point outburst in Seattle’s double-overtime win over Atlanta on Nov. 16, Wilkins scoring average has fallen from a high of 17 points a contest to a season-low of 12.2 a game.

Wilkins said he had lost confidence in his game, but he said he's starting with a clean slate this week. Wilkins talks about his struggles here.

Delonte West (plantar fasciitis) shot with the rest of the team during pregame and looks closer to being able to return.

Chris Wilcox draws the tough matchup tonight, starting out on Bosh, a versatile big man who can hurt you in the paint and on the perimeter. Wilcox should have the quickness to stay with Bosh, but will need some help in dealing with the Georgia Tech product inside.

Next: 5 p.m. Tuesday at Portland, Rose Garden.
