The Toronto Raptors have had a wild two-week stretch of weirdness in recent weeks .

The Raptors blew a fourth-quarter lead in Chicago and blew it in overtime in Chicago .

Toronto blew a late lead in Orlando to beat the Magic two games later.

On Friday , with Utah in town, Raptors rested Jakob Poeltl and RJ Barrett , but played Scottie Barnes and Immanuel Quickley .

Barnes can only miss three more games the rest of the way to be eligible for a supermax designation on his extension signed last summer .

That would take the deal from being worth around $225 million U.S. to around $270 million .

Barnes’ inconsistent offensive season, especially shooting the ball, will likely mean his making the third team is a long shot.
