Looks like they'll decide **right** before tip-off.

I'm of mixed mind about this. On one hand, I feel like we can't risk spotting Toronto a game. It's important to protect home court, and playing with Klay complicates that.

On the other hand, it would suck if he plays too soon and hurts himself even more, and is out for the rest of the series. So there's something to be said with resting Klay, and then have him and KD come back on Friday.

And if we do play without Klay and **still** manage to win the game, that would be crushing for Toronto.

I will say that so far that bench players who have been asked to step up generally have so far, starting from the end of the Houston series. And hopefully Cousins will be even better this game.

Regardless, I wouldn't be surprised if in either scenario we see lots of minutes for McKinnie and more minutes for Jacob Evans.
