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 guard Immanuel Quickley (personal) has been ruled out on Friday as he remains away from the team due to personal reasons. Head coach Darko Rajakovic also said that there is no timetable for the combo guard's return. There hasn't been any report about what's keeping him away from basketball at the moment, but it seems like this could be an extended absence, especially since the Raptors won't be making the playoffs. In his place, Bruce Brown, Jahmi'us Ramsey, and Javon Freeman-Liberty are all set to take on primary ball-handler duties while seeing heavy minutes against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
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.
Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (personal) won't play against the Kings on Wednesday. The former Knickerbocker drops out of the lineup for personal reasons. Quickley misses a great fantasy matchup, which has the points total sitting at 230.0, and will be forced to sit out the action after enjoying his best spell of the season. Quickley's had four double-doubles in his last eight appearances, averaging 18.5 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 9.6 assists for the month. As RJ Barrett (personal) remains away from the team, Gary Trent Jr. should get a lot of shots on Wednesday, with Bruce Brown receiving a further boost in playing time. Jahmi'us Ramsey and Javon Freeman-Liberty could play a bigger part in Toronto's plan as well, but they haven't really done enough yet to warrant fantasy consideration.
Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett (personal) will miss a fourth consecutive game on Wednesday versus Sacramento. He recently lost his younger brother Nathan, and it's unclear when Barrett will be available again for the Raptors. Bruce Brown has played a bigger part in the rotation during Barrett's absence, while Gradey Dick has nailed down a starting role. The 20-year-old rookie has averaged 10.4 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.4 assists in 31.4 minutes across his five-game stint in the first unit. Barrett's absence also means a larger role offensively for Gary Trent Jr. and Immanuel Quickley (personal). A clash with the Kings is a very good fantasy matchup for the Raptors squad, as it's a meeting between two teams that don't put a lot of focus on defense and like to push the pace.
