Norman Powell gets 34 minutes in start for Raptors
Toronto Raptors shooting guard Norman Powell started in Game 4 against the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday, scoring 12 points with four rebounds, four assists, one block and three 3-pointers in 34 minutes.
What It Means:
Powell was basically out of the rotation in the first two games and was thrust into added minutes during Thursday's blowout loss. Powell likely just started as an offensive spark and to allow the Raptors to go with several small-ball lineups, but he held his own on defense against guys like Khris Middleton. With the spark Powell provided in these games, it's almost certain that Norm will get another start on Monday; he'll be an obvious cheap DFS option.
Powell generated 29.00 nERD on Saturday night, per numberFire Live, the second-most on Toronto.
