Raptors' Serge Ibaka: Leads team with 17 in win

Ibaka posted 17 points (8-14 FG, 3-8 #Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds and one assist across 34 minutes in Friday's 87-75 win over the Pistons.

Analysis:

While it was expected that DeMar Derozan would consistently be on fire during Kyle Lowry's (wrist) absence, offensive production has spiked at other positions instead, and Friday Ibaka was Toronto's top scorer. Ibaka's done rather well since his trade from Orlando, averaging 13.8 points, 6.5 rebounds and 44.4 percent from the floor. Often there's a period of adjustment for a traded player but it has only resulted in a slight dip in production for the veteran forward. The Raptors face the Pacers on Sunday, and n three games against the Pacers Ibaka has averaged 9.3 rebound and 14.3 points per game. His rebound output alone makes him an interesting DFS play as he's priced reasonably.
