Raptors 905 News Release
The NBA Development League announced Thursday the schedule for the 2016 NBA D-League Showcase presented by Samsung. Raptors 905, the NBA D-League affiliate of the Toronto Raptors, will face the Sioux Falls Skyforce on January 7 followed by the Rio Grande Valley Vipers on January 9. The start time for both games will be announced at a later date.
The Santa Cruz Warriors, the affiliate of the Golden State Warriors, will host the NBA D-League Showcase at Kaiser Permanente Arena for the second consecutive season. The 19-game Showcase will run over five days, from January 6-10, and feature the league's 19 teams playing two regular-season games apiece.
The 12th annual NBA D-League Showcase will crown a champion based first on a team's overall win-loss record at the event. The advanced basketball statistic Net Rating (calculated by subtracting Defensive Rating from Offensive Rating) will be used as the first tiebreaker. Offensive Rating is calculated by dividing a team's total points by its total offensive possessions, while Defensive Rating is derived by dividing a team's total points allowed by its opponent's total offensive possessions. Any remaining ties will then be resolved using a team's Strength of Schedule, as determined by that team's pre-Showcase opponents' winning percentage.
