Raptors' Kyle Lowry: Not expected to play Tuesday

Lowry will dress for Tuesday's game against the Nets, but isn't expected to play for rest purposes.

Analysis:

Lowry has apparently been playing through some bumps and bruises, so the Raptors will use the front end of the back-to-back set to build in some rest for the point guard, who is averaging a career-high 37.2 minutes per game on the season. Cory Joseph is on tap to start in his stead and should be in line for a sizable uptick in playing time, but look for Lowry to return to action in his usual starting role Wednesday against the 76ers.
