Raptors' P.J. Tucker: Will start Thursday

Tucker will draw the start at power forward for Thursday's tilt against the Heat, Doug Smith of the Toronto Star reports.

Analysis:

With Serge Ibaka (suspension) out for Thursday's game, coach Dwane Casey has opted to insert Tucker into the starting five. The 31-year-old has averaged 5.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.0 assists, and 1.2 steals across 24.6 minutes per game since the All-Star break, but could see closer to a 30-to-35 minute workload in Ibaka's absence -- making him a solid option for DFS.
