Forward Jamario Moon has been quite a find for the Raptors due to all of the injuries they have suffered this season. The rookie has played in 25 games so far this season and he is averaging 28.1 minutes, 7.7 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.0 assist and 1.6 blocks per game. Look for Moon to keep getting solid playing time as long as he’s playing well.

Anthony Parker and Kris Humphries are off to good starts in December for the Raptors. Starting shooting guard Anthony Parker has been hot so far this month. He has started all 5 games this month for the Raptors and he has averaged 29.2 minutes, 15.0 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.6 steals per game. Parker also is shooting a smoking 50.8% from the floor this month. Humphries is getting increased minutes due to injuries across the front line of the Raptors and he’s making the most of it. He has played in 4 games off of the bench so far this month. In those 4 games, Humphries has averaged 17.8 minutes, 11.3 points, 5.8 rebounds and 0.8 assists per game. He is also shooting an incredible 65.4% from the floor in December!

The Raptors have survived a lot of minor injuries to important players so far this season. The Raptors are sitting in second place in the Atlantic Division of the NBA with a 11-10 record which has them 7 games behind the Celtics. The Raptors offense hasn’t clicked on all cylinders yet this season as they are averaging 98.9 points per game but their defense has been a little better than most expected as they have allowed 96.1 points per game so far this season.

Juan Dixon is getting lost in the shuffle due to the depth of the Raptors current roster. The only way his playing time will increase is if he starts shooting the ball better soon. Dixon has played in 10 games this season and he’s averaged 15.9 minutes, 6.5 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game. That just won’t cut it. He also is only shooting 37.9% from the floor and that will need to improve.
