Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports that Toronto Raptors forward/centerKelly Olynyk(calf) is questionable for Friday's matchup with the Chicago Bulls. Olynyk could miss his fourth consecutive contest due to a right calf strain. If the 33-year-old veteran is sidelined, Orlando Robinsonwill continue to log minutes behind starting centerJakob Poeltl, withChris Boucherpotentially also taking on extra playing time. Oylnyk's next chance to suit up is Tuesday against the Los Angeles Clippers.


New Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray (elbow, finger) will play against the Dallas Mavericks Wednesday night. Murray is currently dealing with an elbow issue and has sprained his right index finger, but the team has upgraded him from probable to available. Murray is in the midst of a strong five-game stretch, which started with a 30-point outing against the Mavericks. Over these five games, he has averaged 22.2 points, 6.8 rebounds, 7.8 assists, and 1.8 steals.


Toronto Raptors forward/center Kelly Olynyk (calf) has been downgraded from questionable to out for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. He will miss a third straight game due to a right calf strain. Olynyk's next chance to return will be on Friday against the Chicago Bulls. On Wednesday, Orlando Robinson will continue to log minutes behind starting center Jakob Poeltl, with Chris Boucher potentially also receiving extra work.


Toronto Raptors forward/center Kelly Olynyk (calf) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. He has missed a pair of games with right calf tightness. With Olynyk sidelined, Orlando Robinson has stepped into the backup center role. Chris Boucher is also in a position to benefit. He had one of his best games of the season with Olynyk out on Saturday against the Atlanta Hawks, scoring 23 points. Ahead of Wednesday's matchup, Boucher has finished with double-digit points in three consecutive games while averaging 3.7 rebounds over that span.


New Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray (elbow, finger) is listed as probable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Murray is dealing with a couple of lingering injuries, but they aren't expected to keep him off the court. He finished with 21 points, seven rebounds, and eight assists on Monday, so it doesn't appear to be impacting his performance on the court. However, Murray did miss a game last week, so fantasy managers will need to check back closer to tip-off. Jordan Hawkins and Trey Murphy III would see increased roles and more fantasy appeal if Murray is unable to play.
