DeMar DeRozan led the Raptors to a narrow win Monday night over the New York Knicks, 92-91. DeRozan shined, compensating for the injured Kyle Lowry, who is expected to be out until the playoffs, by scoring 37 points and grabbing eight rebounds. He also scored the game-winning shot that put the Raptors up by one and eventually sealed the game.
Fantasy Impact
DeRozan and the Raptors will return home and face the Washington Wizards Wednesday night, the first of two consecutive meetings with the team. With Lowry out, expect DeRozan to continue to produce huge numbers. If you can afford him and his increasing price tag, he should be considered a lock and be in every fantasy lineup. Play him.
