Toronto Raptors

Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley produced a good all-around performance in his first game for the team on Monday, finishing a 124-121 home victory against Cleveland with 14 points, six rebounds, three assists, and two steals. He hit two shots from outside with five attempts, and Quickley was 5-for-12 overall from the field while having zero turnovers in 28 minutes. The 24-year-old, who finished second in the voting for the Sixth Man of the Year Award last season, started life in Canada as a starter, pushing Dennis Schroder to the bench. Schroder was still productive with a 12-point, eight-assist performance and actually logged a couple of extra minutes compared to Quickley, but early signs suggest that the two don't bother each other too much, and Quickley is a good fit on his new team.

Indiana Pacers forward Bruce Brown (knee) will not return on Monday, which pushes his streak to five consecutive games missed. There has been some movement in the starting five while he's been sidelined. Aaron Nesmith, Andrew Nembhard, and Jalen Smith all joined the starting five in their last contest against the New York Knicks. It seems that Nesmith is the one who took Brown's spot while he's been absent, so whenever Brown does return, it will likely be Nesmith's minutes that take a hit. For now, Nesmith and Nembhard are both quality streaming options in deeper leagues.

Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett and guard Immanuel Quickley are both available to make their team debuts on Monday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Barrett and Quickley were both at morning shootaround, signaling they would be ready to rock. The former New York Knicks came over in Saturday's trade, and while it remains to be seen what type of role is initially in store for them, they should settle into very significant minutes north of the border before long. Barrett should eventually assimilate into OG Anunoby's role, which was good for 33.3 minutes per night before he was moved. Fantasy managers hope Barrett's play in his hometown of Toronto sparks greater offensive efficiency and defensive intensity. Quickley will have to battle with Dennis Schroder and Gary Trent Jr. for minutes, but he has a far greater chance to carve out a featured role than he did in the Big Apple behind All-Star Jalen Brunson.

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Bruce Brown (knee) will likely miss a fifth consecutive game on Monday against Milwaukee. He's officially regarded as doubtful for the contest. Brown's absence has given Andrew Nembhard a chance to join the starting five, and he should continue to benefit on Monday. The 23-year-old is averaging 11.3 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 5.3 assists for the season as a starter. Buddy Hield and Bennedict Mathurin have also seen a boost in playing time without Brown.
