Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (personal) is questionable for Sunday's game against the visiting 76ers. He's been out the last few weeks due to his brother's passing, and he just recently started practicing. Of course, Toronto can't make the playoffs, so Barrett doesn't need to rush back. But with Immanuel Quickley (personal), Scottie Barnes (hand), and Jakob Poeltl (hand) sidelined, Barrett could get more scoring opportunities than he had before his lengthy hiatus. On the other hand, if he's not back on Sunday, Gradey Dick and Gary Trent Jr. should remain Toronto's primary scoring contributors. There's also a chance for Garrett Temple, coming off a 15-point effort in Friday's blowout loss to the Knicks, to stay in the DFS value conversation.
Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (personal) participated in practice on Tuesday, and head coach Darko Rajakovic calls him day-to-day as Barrett gets his conditioning back after being away from the team for Toronto's last seven games. Wednesday's matchup against the New York Knicks marks the 23-year-old Canadian swingman's next chance to play, where Barrett should be considered questionable before the reeling Raptors release their official injury report. Gary Trent Jr. has steered the offense and been on a post-All-Star break surge, returning top-50 merit in nine-category fantasy leagues on averages of 19.1 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.3 steals, and 3.0 three-pointers in 32.9 minutes through his last 13 showings but next contends with a Knicks group yielding the fewest DraftKings points to opposing point guards.
Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (personal) won't play on Monday versus the Knicks. He remains out to mourn the unfortunate passing of his brother. But the Raptors have a slim chance of even making the Play-In, so it's reasonable to assume the former Knick won't be back for the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign. With Immanuel Quickley (personal) also sidelined, Gradey Dick, coming off a 17-point performance on Saturday against the Wizards, will stay an attractive DFS value option.
Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (personal) remains out on Saturday against Washington. Unfortunately, the passing of his brother has kept him off the floor for Toronto's previous five games. With the Raptors unlikely to make a Play-In spot, there's a chance the former Knick won't be back in the next 12 games, especially once the team is officially eliminated from contention. Understandably, Toronto is giving Barrett time to grieve. But with Scottie Barnes (hand), Jakob Poeltl (finger), and Immanuel Quickley (personal) also out, Gary Trent Jr. (back), Kelly Olynyk, and Gradey Dick should remain the team's top producers on the offensive end.
Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (personal) is officially ruled out for Friday night's game against the Orlando Magic. Barrett will miss his fifth consecutive game to be with his family while mourning the death of his younger brother. Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic confirmed the 23-year-old is without a return timetable yet and has the franchise's full support. Barrett has been a fantasy asset since moving to Toronto, with averages of 20.8 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 4.0 assists on his current team. Bruce Brown benefits most by moving into the starting lineup, with Scottie Barnes, Immanuel Quickley, Jakob Poeltl, and Chris Boucher all being out as well. Gary Trent Jr., Kelly Olynyk, and Gradey Dick also have seen noteworthy usage increases since Barrett's last game.
