Khem Birch starting for Raptors Wednesday in place of injured Gary Trent Jr.

Toronto Raptors forward Khem Birch is in the lineup Wednesday in the team's game against the San Antonio Spurs.

What It Means:

Birch is making his first start with his new team. He'll be replacing Gary Trent Jr. - who is out with an ankle injury - in the lineup. That means the Raptors will put out a big starting five, as Birch will play alongside Pascal Siakam and Chris Boucher.

Our models project Birch for 5.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 19.3 FanDuel points across 25.3 minutes of action.
