Raptors upgrade Patrick Patterson (knee) to probable for Tuesday

Toronto Raptors power forward Patrick Patterson (knee) is probable to suit up against the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday.

What It Means:

Knee soreness has sidelined Patterson for 10 of Toronto's last 12 games, so he may not be back to his full complement of minutes right away, and with a deep front-court that recently got Jared Sullinger back, the Raptors can afford to ease Patterson into things.

Our models do account for Patterson seeing a sizable workload tonight, and project him for 6.6 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 24.4 minutes of action against the Spurs.
