Heat's Stoudemire, Raptors' Biyombo start Game 4

Both the Toronto Raptors and Miami Heat were forced to make changes in their starting lineup for Monday night's Game 4 matchup.

Amar'e Stoudemire replaced the injured Hassan Whiteside in the starting lineup for Miami, and the Raptors started Bismack Biyombo at center with Jonas Valanciunas ruled out for the remainder of the series.

With Chris Bosh out for the remainder of the postseason and Whiteside listed as day to day, Miami head coach Erik Spoelstra had a limited number of frontcourt options for Monday night's contest.

Stoudemire started in 36 games in the regular season with the Heat, but has averaged just 9.6 minutes in seven games in the playoffs. The 33-year-old has been largely ineffective, averaging 3.4 points and 3.8 rebounds.

The Raptors went 16-6 with Biyombo starting in place of Valanciunas during the regular season, with him averaging 7.2 points, 12.2 rebounds, and two blocks over 30 minutes in those games. The 23-year-old big man is averaging 4.1 points and 7.7 rebounds in 10 games this postseason.
