Jakob Poeltl improved in Game 3 with 8 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 assists, but Collin Murray-Boyles excelled with 22 points and 8 rebounds. Murray-Boyles's performance has led to calls for him to start over Poeltl. ESPN's Tim Bontemps emphasized that starting Murray-Boyles could help the Raptors exploit their advantage in turnovers. Murray-Boyles has averaged 17.7 points per game in the playoffs, showcasing his physicality and versatility, with his playing time increasing each game.
"Collin Murray-Boyles recorded 22 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block, and 1 steal in 28 minutes off the bench. He continues to look better and better the more playoff minutes he gets under his belt."
"That 23 to 8 points off turnovers advantage, if Toronto has any chance of making the series competitive, that's what they have to do. They have to turn the Cavs over."
"Murray-Boyles has barely looked like a rookie in the playoffs. He has been a steady contributor off the bench, averaging the third-most points per game behind Scottie Barnes and RJ Barrett with 17.7."
