Patrick Patterson (knee) questionable as Raptors prepare for Charlotte

Toronto Raptors forward/center Patrick Patterson (knee) is questionable to play Wednesday versus the Charlotte Hornets.

What It Means:

Patterson has missed five straight games, so it would be odd for the Raptors to play him tonight just before the All-Star break. His minimal fantasy value was put to rest with the arrival of Serge Ibaka.

Patterson's -0.7 nERD is tied for third-worst on the Raptors this season. His 27.3 minutes per game are fourth-most on the team, but that will change with Ibaka in the rotation.
