Chris Bosh of the Toronto Raptors and LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers combined for 78 points when the teams met last Saturday in Cleveland.
Each has suffered an injury since, and in each case participation in Friday's game between the teams at the Air Canada Centre was a game-time decision.
A couple of other Raptors were expected to play Friday after the morning shoot around - point guard T.J. Ford and forward Andrea Bargnani.
James merely watched his teammates take part in the shoot around on Friday morning after he suffered a sprained left index finger in the first half of Cleveland's loss to the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday.
Bosh did not practice Thursday with the Raptors and instead was undergoing diagnostic tests for a strained right groin, an injury that developed in Tuesday's practice and forced him to leave Wednesday's victory over the Memphis Grizzlies in the first quarter.
