TORONTO RAPTORS

The Raptors bounced back from three straight lottery seasons with a 46-36 finish in 2025-26 after acquiring Brandon Ingram at the deadline, returning to the playoffs as a fifth seed before falling to Cleveland in seven games. Scottie Barnes cards gained traction as he made his first All-Star team alongside Ingram, while RJ Barrett's value held steady following his strong 2024-25 debut with Toronto after the OG Anunoby trade. The departure of Pascal Siakam in January 2024 cooled his Raptors rookie cards, though the franchise's quick turnaround from 30-52 to playoff contention elevated Barnes and the Ingram addition as the new collecting focal points.

Where they stand: Toronto's 2025-26 campaign ended with a hard-fought first-round loss to the Cavaliers, capping a 16-game improvement from the prior year. The team enters August 2026 in the early stages of the offseason with their core of Barnes, Ingram, Barrett, Quickley, and Poeltl locked in under tight cap constraints, while facing decisions on free agent Sandro Mamukelashvili and navigating limited roster flexibility after releasing longtime president Masai Ujiri following the 2025 draft.
