Fred VanVleet enters Raptors' starting lineup versus Suns in place of Kawhi Leonard (rest)
Toronto Raptors point guard Fred VanVleet will start on Thursday versus the Phoenix Suns.
What It Means:
Kawhi Leonard is getting a breather as the Raptors close out their back-to-back set, so VanVleet will make his 17th start of the season. The 24-year-old is averaging 12.8 points, 3.5 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 0.8 steals, and 2.1 triples as a starter.
numberFire's models expect FVV to score 23.5 FanDuel points, at a cost of $5,000, on Thursday.
