Kelly Olynyk's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Toronto Raptors forward Kelly Olynyk didn't hit a field goal in Sunday's 111-106 victory over the Charlotte Hornets but tallied four points, four rebounds, four assists, two steals, and two blocks in 26 minutes. The final output is not the most disappointing part, since Olynyk was a very popular fantasy add in the aftermath of Scottie Barnes' (hand) setback but saw Ochai Agbaji unexpectedly hop into Toronto's starting five. Considering Charlotte was missing their two top big men, Mark Williams (back) and Nick Richards (foot), head coach Darko Rajakovic may have opted to employ a smaller first unit for matchup-related reasons. Hang onto Olynyk despite the lackluster stat line, as Jakob Poeltl (finger) is joining Barnes on the sidelines for Tuesday's tilt versus the New Orleans Pelicans. In eight starting appearances this year, Olynyk is averaging 9.5 points, 6.9 assists, 6.5 rebounds, and 0.8 treys in 26.3 minutes.

Toronto Raptors center Kelly Olynyk (back) is absent from the injury report for Thursday's game versus the Brooklyn Nets. A lower back strain forced Olynyk from Toronto's latest matchup, but the Canadian playmaking big man is available for the Raptors against the Nets. Over his most recent nine showings since Jan. 25, Olynyk is supplying 10.1 points on 57.7% shooting from the floor, 5.2 boards, 4.2 assists, and 0.9 triples in 19.5 minutes per game.

Toronto Raptors forward/center Kelly Olynyk failed to complete Wednesday's game against Indiana due to a lower back strain. He logged only seven minutes, posting zero points with two rebounds and three fouls. This was Olynyk's third game in a Raptors uniform since the team traded for him last week. He started well in Toronto and averaged 14.0 points with 5.5 rebounds and 3.0 steals over his first two games. With the Raptors now off until Feb. 22, Olynyk gets a good amount of recovery time, but it's currently unclear if it will be enough to be ready for action next week. Chris Boucher re-entered the rotation in Olynyk's absence on Wednesday and could have a role to play if he's out next game.

Toronto Raptors center Kelly Olynykhas been tagged as questionable to play in his first game with his new team after coming to Toronto in a trade from Utah. The veteran big man is a Toronto native who gets to team up with fellow Canadian RJ Barrett. They have some chemistry together already after playing for the Canadian national team. Olynyk will likely see an increase in minutes and role, as he'll be the primary backup to Jakob Poeltl, so he could become a more viable fantasy option in a broader range of leagues. For now, fantasy managers will want to wait and see how he falls into the rotation when he finally gets on the court for his new team.

Utah Jazz center Kelly Olynyk and guard Ochai Agbaji have been traded to the Toronto Raptors for Kira Lewis Jr., Otto Porter Jr., and a first-round pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. The draft pick will be the least favorable between the Thunder, Clippers, Rockets, and Jazz. Olynyk should slot right into the backup center role behind Jakob Poeltl while Agbaji will likely be one of the first two players off of the bench in the backcourt along with newly-acquired Spencer Dinwiddie. Olynyk could become viable in deeper leagues after he averaged around 20 minutes a night in Utah, he could very likely see some added minutes in a less crowded frontcourt. Agbaji, on the other hand, will have to see where he falls in the rotation before becoming a must-add candidate in fantasy leagues.
