Bruce Brown's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

The Toronto Raptors are listing guard Bruce Brown (knee) as out for Tuesday's game versus the New Orleans Pelicans. After missing Sunday's win over the Charlotte Hornets, Brown remains unavailable on Tuesday due to inflammation in his right knee. Over Brown's last 13 showings, the 27-year-old combo guard is averaging 7.2 points on 39.8% shooting from the field, 3.0 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in 23.7 minutes contest and sits outside the top 250 in nine-category fantasy leagues across this span. Brown's next chance to return to the floor comes on Thursday against the Phoenix Suns. Since Jakob Poeltl (finger) is also out, Kelly Olynyk will be needed to start at the five, clearing the way for Gradey Dick to function as Toronto's defined sixth man. Over Dick's last 12 performances, the first-round rookie is averaging 12.2 points and 2.4 threes while shooting a scorching 51.8% from deep and gets a New Orleans team that's yielding the seventh-most threes per game (13.4) this year.

Toronto Raptors guard Bruce Brown (knee) won't play in Sunday's meeting with the Charlotte Hornets. Right knee inflammation will keep Brown out on Sunday, with the combo guard originally being a late addition to the injury report. Across Brown's past 13 games, the versatile 27-year-old is averaging 7.2 points while shooting just 39.8% from the floor, 3.0 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in 23.7 minutes contest and ranks outside the top 200 in nine-category fantasy leagues during this stretch. Brown's next shot to return to the floor comes on Tuesday versus the New Orleans Pelicans.Gradey Dick was already on the rise and is now looking at an increased workload. Over the rookie first-rounder's last 11 outings, he's averaging 12.3 points and 2.4 treys on 51.0% shooting from deep in 21.5 minutes and is a solid fantasy streamer in a favorable matchup. The Hornets hold the third-worst defensive efficiency rating (117.3), and they carry the fourth-worst opponent field-goal percentage (49.5%) this year.

Toronto Raptors forward Bruce Brown (knee) is questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Hornets. He's averaged just 8.6 points in 19 games since being traded to Toronto, down from 12.1 points while with the Pacers. However, with Scottie Barnes (hand) out indefinitely, Brown has a chance to get more involved moving ahead. While there's a chance the 27-year-old could still suit up, rookie Gradey Dick, who averaged a career-high 11.0 points in February, could draw even more interest from fantasy managers. There's also room for Ochai Agbaji to see more work, although he can't be trusted.

Toronto Raptors forward Bruce Brown will shift to the second unit ahead of Sunday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Brown had started the last four games with RJ Barrett (knee) sidelined. During that time, Brown averaged 11.0 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.8 steals, and 1.5 blocks in 33.3 minutes per game. Barrett is healthy again so Brown will move back to the bench where his fantasy value will take a hit.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Bruce Brown moved to Canada just a couple of weeks ago in exchange for Pascal Siakam and others. Ever since that deal was made official, there have been reports and rumors that this wouldn't be his final move this season. Playoff contending teams have been linked to Brown, most notably the New York Knicks. According to Mark Sanchez of the New York Post, Brown was thinking of signing with the Knicks before he accepted the offer from the Indiana Pacers in the offseason. He even said during an interview that his playstyle and effort align with how Tom Thibodeau runs his team. There haven't been any official offers yet, but this move seems to be gaining the most steam.
