Lucas Nogueira (concussion), Patrick Patterson (knee) remain out Friday for Raptors
Toronto Raptors center Lucas Nogueira (concussion) and forward/center Patrick Patterson (knee) will not play against the Charlotte Hornets on Friday night.
What It Means:
Patterson has only played twice this month while Nogueira will miss his second consecutive game. Jared Sullinger is still playing on a strict minutes limit, but look for Jonas Valanciunas to continue his strong play. Over the past five games, JV is averaging 12.2 points and 15.0 rebounds.
numberFire's metrics project Valanciunas to score 13.3 points and pull down 11.3 rebounds on Friday night versus Charlotte.
