Fresh off his rookie of the year victory, Raptors forward Scottie Barnes will suit up for Game 4 against Philadelphia.
Barnes has been out since suffering a left ankle sprain in Game 1.
If this were a regular season game, he would likely still be out. But with his team down 3-0 in the series he's pressed into action at less than 100%.
His SIC score is 68 for Game 4, according to our panel of ProBasketballDocs.
The do-it-all forward will likely play limited minutes and could be targeted on the defensive end because of his restricted mobility.
When the initial injury occurred, the ProBasketballDocs projected that Barnes would miss multiple games and possibly be out the whole series.
It's good news that the 20-year-old has made it back, but he will not be at full capacity for the remainder of the series, even if the Raptors rally and take it to Game 7.
The Raptors are 2.5-point favorites for Game 4 and the over/under is 213, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.
