Raptors rule out Lucas Nogueira on Monday
Toronto Raptors center Lucas Nogueira (ankle) will not play on Monday versus the Denver Nuggets.
What It Means:
Nogueira has yet to play in the regular season and Jonas Valanciunas has stepped up to play big minutes in his absence. Jakob Poeltl played 11 minutes and posted seven points and seven rebounds against Cleveland on Friday, so expect the young Aussie to get some playing time while Nogueira is on the mend.
With Nogueira out, our models expect Valanciunas to be a solid DFS option once again on Monday, with 12.5 points, 9.9 rebounds and 1.9 blocks in just under 30 minutes against the Denver Nuggets.
