What It Means:

Ibaka remained in the starting lineup after Gasol was acquired, but it sounds like Nurse may want to use a more matchup-based approach over the final stretch of the season. Gasol has averaged 10.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.7 steals, and 1.3 blocks over 20.0 minutes through three games for the Raptors.

Ibaka is averaging 31.5 FanDuel points through 55 games (46 starts). numberFire's models expect him to record 16.6 points, 8.2 boards, 1.5 dimes, 0.5 steals, and 1.7 swats per contest over the remainder of the season.
