As they find themselves in different circumstances than ever before, the Toronto Raptors are going to take a different tack to the end of the NBA regular season. They may actually stretch out guards Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan over the final 24 games of the season. “I’m sure it’s coming, whether it’s on purpose or not,” Raptors coach Dwane Casey said of increasing the minutes of his all-stars. “That’s been talked about.” Lowry is averaging about 32.2 minutes per game this season, DeRozan 34.1. “I played like three games with the guys, two games, so it was one of those things where it was weird,” Lowry said.
