Toronto Raptors DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (rest) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors, indicating that he will return to the lineup. Toronto has begun to rest Poeltl regularly, and he did not play on Monday night against the Phoenix Suns. Even when he has been in action, the Raptors have limited Poeltl's playing time. He has averaged 23.2 minutes per game this month, notching 16.4 points and 7.2 rebounds. Orlando Robinson, Jonathan Mogbo, and Colin Castleton lose fantasy value with Poeltl's return.

Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (rest) will be out of the lineup for a third straight game on Thursday against the Golden State Warriors. Barrett has missed a pair of games due to an illness and will be rested on Thursday night. His absence has created more scoring opportunities for Immanuel Quickley and Scottie Barnes. Meanwhile, Jamison Battle has taken on a starting role. Battle has not been comfortable in the role on the offensive end, shooting only 31.9 percent from the field. He has averaged 10.3 points and 4.8 rebounds since moving to the first unit.

Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.careports that Toronto Raptors guardRJ Barrett(illness) is unavailable for Monday's matchup with the Phoenix Suns. Barrett is dealing with an illness that will keep him out for the second consecutive contest. His absence would probably mean more action forJamison Battle,A.J. Lawson, andJamal Shead. Lawson is the best streaming option between the three, but Battle might offer some low-end value as he's played over 30 minutes in two of the last three games.
