Khem Birch coming off Raptors' bench in Game 1
Toronto Raptors forward Khem Birch will play with the second unit Saturday in the team's game against the Philadelphia 76ers.
What It Means:
Pascal Siakam got Sunday's regular season finale off due to rest purposes. But in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Playoffs, he is back in action and ready to roll. Siakam will also immediately return to the starting five, sending Birch back to a bench role.
Our models project Birch for 0.2 points, 0..2 rebounds and 0.4 FanDuel points across 0.8 minutes of action.
