Scola (coach's decision) didn't play in Tuesday's 104-99 win over the Nets.

EDGE Analysis

Scola was dropped from the starting lineup in favor of Jason Thompson, but the expectation was that the veteran big man would still be available off the bench. Instead, coach Dwane Casey elected to give Scola a night off for rest, which he intimated could be a regular occurrence as the Raptors close in on the postseason. "It's a long season," Casey said after the game. "I thought giving [Scola] a rest [Tuesday] was important; I second-guessed it there for a little bit, but giving him a rest, we'll do that periodically down the stretch here." Heading into Tuesday, Scola was only averaging 17.6 minutes since the beginning of February, and the threat of more days off over the remainder of the schedule will only further hinder his fantasy value.
