There has been a trend for years of less minutes from the starters. Trying to get them to be more efficient and healthy. Benches have become more important even in the playoffs to an extent.
Can only hope that that's where the Raptors advantage is as otherwise it's hoping Lowry and DD finally figure out how to play anything like they do in the regular season.
