Hawks vs Raptors NBA Preview
The Raptors don’t seem very dead set on giving Mamukelashvili consistent minutes every night, as his role appears to be very matchup dependent.
He played over 30 minutes last game despite not starting, but logged just 12 minutes in the previous one.
That volatility is a big reason why we’re getting a lower number on him here.
With Kristaps Porzingis set to play in this one, I think the matchup sets up well for Mamu to see 25–26+ minutes.
In a 27-minute projection, I have him at 12.7 points and 6.8 rebounds against a Hawks team that allows the fifth-most rebound chances per game and ranks third in pace.
