With Ingram and Zion Williamson limited to only 32 combined performances and Dejointe Murray off the season with a torn ACL, New Orleans finds itself at the bottom of the Western Conference position of 12-39.

Ingram had played well when available, an average of 22.2 points, 5.6 rebounds and 5.2 assists. His production is similar to a few new teammates: Scottie Barnes (20.2 PPG, 8.0 RPG, 6.4 Acts) and RJ Barrett (21.6 ppg, 6.6 RPG, 5.7), giving Toronto one of one of NBAS more versatile Trios.

Despite a similar position as New Orleans near the bottom of the east table, Raptors have shown significant signs of life recently with eight wins in their last 11 games.
