Toronto Raptors

Toronto Raptors guard Ochai Agbaji has been listed as questionable to make his debut with his new team on Friday. The 23-year-old was part of the deal that sent Kira Lewis Jr., Otto Porter Jr., and a first-round pick to the Jazz in return for Kelly Olynyk. This year, Agbaji was seeing around the same minutes per game, but his usage wasn't as high as his rookie year. With the Raptors, he'll likely see a boost in minutes while he plays a bigger role off of the bench for a rebuilding squad. He probably won't crack the starting lineup over guys like RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley, but there's a void in the backcourt that he can fill. He's only a viable fantasy option in very deep leagues at the moment.

Utah Jazz center Kelly Olynyk and guard Ochai Agbaji have been traded to the Toronto Raptors for Kira Lewis Jr., Otto Porter Jr., and a first-round pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. The draft pick will be the least favorable between the Thunder, Clippers, Rockets, and Jazz. Olynyk should slot right into the backup center role behind Jakob Poeltl while Agbaji will likely be one of the first two players off of the bench in the backcourt along with newly-acquired Spencer Dinwiddie. Olynyk could become viable in deeper leagues after he averaged around 20 minutes a night in Utah, he could very likely see some added minutes in a less crowded frontcourt. Agbaji, on the other hand, will have to see where he falls in the rotation before becoming a must-add candidate in fantasy leagues.

Toronto Raptors guard RJ Barrett (knee) is back in the starting five ahead of Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Barrett is back in action after sitting out of Monday's contest due to knee swelling. There is no word on Barrett being limited, so he figures to play his normal role in the rotation. Bruce Brown will head back to the bench where he'll have less streaming appeal with the second unit.

Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (rest/knee) isn't spotted on the team's injury report for Wednesday's matchup against the Charlotte Hornets. Toronto kept Barrett out of Monday's blowout defeat to the New Orleans Pelicans to manage the swelling in his left knee, but they'll have him available on Wednesday for the final outing of their six-game road trip. The 23-year-old Canadian swingman has been very productive since landing north of the border on New Year's Day, averaging 21.1 points on 55.1% shooting from the floor, 7.1 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 1.4 triples covering 14 games in Raps digs. Although Barrett remains a points-league fantasy preference, he belongs in all season-long lineups versus a Hornets squad that sits dead last in the NBA in opponent field-goal percentage (50.5%).

Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (ankle) is not seen on the team's injury report leading into Monday's matchup with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Monday is the second end of Toronto's back-to-back, and Poeltl just returned to play in Friday's defeat to the Houston Rockets following an 11-game absence due to a sprained left ankle. The 28-year-old Austrian big man was out there for 33 minutes during Sunday's double-overtime loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, so the 17-32 Raptors may keep on eye on his playing time on Monday if the game gets out of hand. While that caveat poses some DFS risk, it shouldn't deter season-long fantasy managers from starting Poeltl, who is supplying top-100 numbers in nine-category leagues by averaging 10.7 points on 69.1% shooting from the field, 8.3 rebounds, 2.6 dimes, and 1.4 blocks in 38 showings for the Raps.
