Khem Birch making another start Tuesday for Raptors
Toronto Raptors power forward Khem Birch is in the starting lineup again Tuesday versus the Phoenix Suns, per head coach Nick Nurse.
Birch entered the starting lineup on Sunday in place of Gary Trent Jr. (ankle) and played 21 minutes. Trent is out again Tuesday and Scottie Barnes (knee) is joining him on the sidelines, so Svi Mykhailiuk will likely fill that void in the first unit. Nurse said Precious Achiuwa will back up Birch, meaning fewer minutes at the five for Pascal Siakam.
numberFire's models project Birch for 22.0 minutes and 17.6 FanDuel points, and he has a $4,000 salary on Tuesday's six-game slate.
