Serge Ibaka comes off bench, struggles in season debut

Serge Ibaka provided nine points in 27 minutes off the bench on Wednesday, adding on seven boards, one assist, two steals and three blocks in a Toronto victory.
Fantasy Impact:
The 27 minutes for Ibaka on Wednesday were actually higher than both of his froncourt teammate starters, Jonas Valanciunas and Pascal Siakam. This should be the norm for Ibaka as he will likely consistently be the first player off the Raptor's bench and should be seeing close to that allotted playing time on a nightly basis. Ibaka struggled with his shot Wednesday only connecting on 2-of-10 total attempts but he salvaged his fantasy output with the additional box score stats. On most occasions Ibaka won't hurt you in fantasy with his safe floor but at this point in his career he no longer carries the upside he once did.
