The Toronto Raptors' All-Star backcourt of Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan won't be on the floor Saturday against the San Antonio Spurs as they have been given the night off to rest.

This will be just the third game of the season Lowry doesn't take part in. He was rested against the Detroit Pistons on Feb. 28, and sat against the Boston Celtics on March 23 due to a sore elbow.

Toronto came up short in both of those outings, and are 5-8 when he's not in the lineup dating back to last season.

DeRozan, who is listed as active but won't play, is averaging 23.7 points and 4.4 rebounds in 74 appearances.

The Spurs are a perfect 38-0 at the AT&T Center and 63-12 overall. Toronto remains the only team they have yet to defeat this season.

Lowry and DeRozan combined to score 49 of the team's 99 points in a four-point win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday.
