Scottie Barnes starting for Raptors in Game 5 in place of injured Fred VanVleet
Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes is in the lineup Monday in the team's game against the Philadelphia 76ers.
What It Means:
Fred VanVleet left Saturday's Game 4 win early due to a hip injury and entered Monday with a questionable tag. He was ruled out early in the day, leaving a massive vacancy at starting point guard in a must-win matchup. For now, that role will go to Barnes, who came off the bench in Game 4 as he recovered from a sprained ankle.
Our models project Barnes for 1.1 hits, 6.3 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 26.4 FanDuel points across 30.1 minutes of action.
