Raptors to start Khem Birch against Spurs
Toronto Raptors power forward Khem Birch will start on Wednesday against the San Antonio Spurs, per head coach Nick Nurse.
Birch will presumably replace Gary Trent Jr. (right ankle soreness) in the lineup for his first start in a Raptors uniform, though Chris Boucher is also a potential option. Birch logged 25 minutes on Tuesday and scored 13 points with 7 rebounds, 2 steals, a block, and a triple. Kyle Lowry (rest), Fred VanVleet (suspension), DeAndre' Bembry (hamstring), and Trent are all out for Toronto.
numberFire’s models project Birch for 19.3 FanDuel points versus the Spurs and he has a salary of $4,100 on Wednesday.
