Raptors’ Chris Boucher: Re-enters rotation

Boucher recorded 11 points (4-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one block across 12 minutes during Monday’s 138-100 loss to the Pelicans.

Boucher was a healthy scratch in Toronto’s last two contests, but he stepped in with efficient offense and active rebounding in a limited sample during Monday’s blowout loss. Boucher being phased out of the rotation is an interesting storyline given the 30-year-old is the only power forward on the roster besides Scottie Barnes, but it appears that Toronto would rather allocate the minutes elsewhere at this time. Boucher will probably be pushed to the outskirts of the rotation again if Gary Trent (back), RJ Barrett (knee) and Jontay Porter (back) are cleared to suit up moving forward.
