Raptors coach Nick Nurse is not afraid to use some unconventional lineups. “We are trying to get away from those traditional centre, power forward type things.”

“I’m hoping to get to an even more versatile lineup where maybe you see Pascal (Siakam), Danny (Green), Kawhi (Leonard), OG (Anunoby) and Serge (Ibaka),” Nurse said before the Raptors embarked on a four-game road trip that continues in Orlando on Tuesday night.
