The Toronto Raptors will have four starters back in the lineup against the Brooklyn Nets.

Head coach Nick Nurse confirmed that Kyle Lowry, Fred VanVleet, Pascal Siakam and OG Anunoby will all be available for Wednesday's game. The four stars missed Sunday's win over the Oklahoma City Thunder and have been in and out of the lineup for the past week.

Paul Watson, Rodney Hood and Jalen Harris will not be available against the Nets.

Lowry had missed the past four games, with the team only saying he was unavailable due to rest. VanVleet was out of the lineup for six games with a hip injury and a suspension but returned last Friday against the Orlando Magic before being held out against the Thunder. Siakam missed two games to rest a shoulder injury, while Anunoby missed two games with calf and knee issues.

The Raptors enter play Wednesday with a 24-34 record, good for 12th in the Eastern Conference and only half a game behind the Chicago Bulls and Washington Wizards, who are tied for the final spot in the post-season play-in tournament.
