As the Toronto Raptors gear up for Friday's gme against the Orlando Magic, they'll once again take the court without All Star guard DeMar DeRozan. The 27-year-old shooting guard will miss his third game in a row with an ankle injury.
This season, DeRozan has once again been a tremendous part of Toronto's success with his usual hot shooting. DeRozan, who averages 27.8 points, 5.4 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game this season, is sixth in the NBA in points per game.
The news hurts for Toronto who is in the midst of a bad 10-game skid, but should result in increased usage for Kyle Lowry in a solid matchup and amkes for a very nice DFS play. If you need a cheap guard who should get a lot of minutes, Norman Powell is a DFS option who should see plenty of minutes tonight.
