Cousins is expected back before Durant, and he creates a big problem for the Raps. Gasol is the only guy who can match up with him and not get run over, so you probably need to minute match like with Embiid. But since Cousins is likely to come off the bench, you probably have to start Ibaka, who has been the best and most consistent bench performer this postseason. So do you sacrifice an already thin offensive bench for a better matchup? Tough call for Nurse.
