Expect to see some double PG action tonight. Especially against the smaller Ellis.

Greivis Vasquez has experienced just about every role a point guard could play in his first few years in the NBA. He backed up Mike Conley in Memphis. He excelled as a starter last year in New Orleans. He struggled in the same role early this season in Sacramento, playing ahead of Isaiah Thomas. And so far in Toronto, Vasquez has been used off the bench backing up Kyle Lowry.
But according to Raptors coach Dwane Casey, that's not a role that's set in stone.
Casey tells the Toronto Sun that the Raptors could continue to use a two-point guard lineup that includes both Lowry and Vasquez, as it did against Charlotte on Wednesday. Doing so opens up the options a bit, and allows the team to try some new things.
“We did that to get more ball movement and body movement, more pick-and-rolls,” Casey tells the newspaper. “We could go to that and we will go to that to promote ball movement.”
The more Casey goes with this lineup, the more minutes Vasquez will likely play, and that's music to the ears of plenty of fantasy owners out there.
