Toronto Raptors guard/forward Bruce Brown (knee) exited Tuesday's loss to the Lakers and didn't return. He got the start in this one. Unfortunately, the 27-year-old would log 28 minutes before experiencing soreness in his right knee. The Raptors play again on Wednesday in Minnesota. However, DFS participants likely won't see Brown in the lineup. But the team just got back Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett, which will help lessen the blow. In addition, Gary Trent Jr., who got the night off for rest, should also be back.
Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (conditioning) and forward RJ Barrett (conditioning) are both available with minutes restrictions for Tuesday's tilt versus the Los Angeles Lakers. After multi-game absences due to personal reasons, Quickley and Barrett have worked their way back to Toronto's lineup. Quickley will end a six-game absence, while Barrett will return following eight games away from the Raptors. The former New York Knicks will enhance season-long fantasy rosters in the championship round, with Quickley averaging 20.3 points, 8.0 assists, 5.8 rebounds, 1.2 steals, and 3.1 three-pointers across 12 post-All-Star break games, and Barrett averaging 21.5 points, 5.1 dimes, 4.6 boards, and 2.1 treys on 53.1% shooting from deep since the break. IQ has the more favorable matchup of the two, as LA is surrendering the third-most FanDuel points to opposing point guards.
Toronto Raptors guard Ochai Agbaji (hip) will be unavailable for a second consecutive contest on Tuesday versus the Lakers. He's suffered a hip contusion ahead of the final couple of weeks of the regular season. Agbaji averaged over 25 minutes per game last month, as Toronto had a proper look at the 23-year-old, who was brought in from Utah in February. His absence should keep Gradey Dick relevant in fantasy hoops despite the likely return of Immanuel Quickley (conditioning) and RJ Barrett (conditioning) on Tuesday.
Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (conditioning) and forward RJ Barrett (conditioning) are both probable for Tuesday's contest versus the Los Angeles Lakers. Following multi-game absences due to personal reasons, Quickley and Barrett have been ramping up and seem to have worked their way back in terms of conditioning. IQ has missed six straight, while Barrett has been out for eight in a row. The former New York Knicks will bolster fantasy rosters contending for championships upon their returns, with Quickley averaging 20.3 points, 8.0 assists, 5.8 rebounds, 1.2 steals, and 3.1 threes across 12 post-All-Star break games, and Barrett averaging 21.5 points, 5.1 dimes, 4.6 boards, and 2.1 treys on 53.1% shooting from deep through this period. Quickley has the better matchup of the two, as LA is giving up the third-most FanDuel points to opposing point guards.
Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett (conditioning) won't return to the lineup on Sunday against Philadelphia. Barrett has rejoined the team after missing time due to his brother's death, but he will remain absent for a ninth straight game on Sunday, as the team has downgraded him from questionable to out. Barrett's absence has given Toronto an opportunity to start developing Gradey Dick with a bigger workload. He's in line to make an 11th straight start on Sunday. Dick is averaging 12.5 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 2.0 assists in the first unit.
