Kyle Lowry to take a breather for Raptors versus Suns
Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry (rest) will sit out Thursday's game against the Phoenix Suns.
The Raptors are opting to take things easy on the second night of a back-to-back set at home against the 11-34 Suns, as Lowry and Kawhi Leonard are both being given the night off. Fred VanVleet will likely draw the start in place of Lowry and Delon Wright should see more action off the bench. Lowry scored 10 points (3-of-10 field goals, 3-of-3 free throws) with 6 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, and 1 triple in 33.5 minutes of Wednesday's loss to the Boston Celtics.
Lowry is averaging 36.7 FanDuel points through 35 games. numberFire's models expect him to record 16.8 points, 3.7 rebounds, 6.9 assists, 1.4 steals, and 1.1 triples per contest over the remainder of the year.
