Novak will get the start at small forward for the injured DeMar DeRozan, the Raptors' official site reports.

Analysis:

Novak, along with John Salmons and Julyan Stone were in contention for the opening in the starting lineup, and just because Novak is getting the nod doesn't mean he'll see enough minutes to be a solid fantasy option. DeRozan doesn't have a timetable yet for a return from a sprained ankle, but even if Novak sees a few more starts, it's hard to recommend him in standard leagues.
