Toronto Raptors forward Bruce Brown (knee) is available ahead of Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Brown will make his return to the court after missing each of the last four games due to right knee inflammation. He'll likely be asked to play big minutes during his first game back on the court. The Raptors are thin at the guard and forward spot right now. That means, Brown should have additional fantasy value even if he comes off the bench.
Toronto Raptors guard RJ Barrett (illness) is available ahead of Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Barrett was upgraded to probable earlier in the day. Now, Barrett has been fully cleared to suit up for Monday's game. Gradey Dick started in place of Barrett, which means he'll likely return to the second unit. However, the Raptors are banged up at the guard spot, so Dick could still see significant minutes in the rotation. Fantasy managers who have Barrett rostered can get him back in their lineups on Monday.
Toronto Raptors forward Chris Boucher (knee) won't suit up ahead of Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Boucher suffered an injury during Saturday's game that was originally considered a knee contusion. After further testing, Boucher is dealing with a partially torn MCL in his right knee. The good news is, that Boucher probably won't need to have surgery, which means this injury shouldn't end his season. However, it's likely that Boucher does miss some time while he recovers from this injury. In the meantime, Jalen McDaniels and Jontay Porter should see additional minutes in the rotation.
Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (illness) is probable for Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. A late scratch ahead of Saturday's defeat to the Portland Trail Blazers with an illness, Barrett is expected to return Monday. With a plethora of Raptors on the injury report, the 23-year-old swingman should be very busy in a tough matchup against Denver. Barrett is averaging 21.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 1.4 steals over his last 19 appearances.
Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (hip) will not play in Monday's contest against the Denver Nuggets. Quickley was a late addition to the injury report with a flexor strain in his left hip and looks to return in Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Toronto's offense should run through RJ Barrett (illness), who is probable on Monday, with Gary Trent Jr. (groin) also sidelined, but there is significant blowout risk against the defending-champion Nuggets.
