Will Barton (ankle) likely out for Raptors Tuesday
Toronto Raptors guard/forward Will Barton (left ankle sprain) is doubtful for Tuesday against the Miami Heat.
What It Means:
Barton sprained his ankle during Sunday's game against the Washington Wizards and exited early. Assuming he sits out against the Heat, Barton's next chance to play will be on Friday versus the Philadelphia 76ers. Gary Trent Jr. (elbow) will have more minutes available Tuesday if he's cleared to return. Jeff Dowtin could play more if Barton and Trent are both out.
Dowtin is averaging 18.0 minutes and 13.7 FanDuel points over the last three games with Trent inactive. He finished with 11.4 FanDuel points in 19.2 minutes on Sunday after Barton exited early.
