Toronto Raptors

Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (knee) will sit out Monday's tilt against the New Orleans Pelicans. After logging 43 minutes in Sunday's double-overtime loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, Barrett will catch a breather for the second part of a back-to-back and the fifth outing of Toronto's six-game road trip. Although Barrett also missed the prior three contests due to swelling in his left knee, we would expect him to return to the Raptors starting group for Wednesday's action against the Charlotte Hornets. After tallying just two points from the bench on Sunday, Bruce Brown is most likely heading back into the first unit against New Orleans. Covering four games as a starter north of the border, Brown is averaging 11.0 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.0 triples, 1.8 steals, and 1.0 blocks in 32.9 minutes.

Toronto Raptors forward Bruce Brown will shift to the second unit ahead of Sunday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Brown had started the last four games with RJ Barrett (knee) sidelined. During that time, Brown averaged 11.0 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.8 steals, and 1.5 blocks in 33.3 minutes per game. Barrett is healthy again so Brown will move back to the bench where his fantasy value will take a hit.

Toronto Raptors forward R Barrett (knee) is available ahead of Sunday's game versus OKC. The former Duke Blue Devil has played well since being acquired from the Knicks, averaging a career-high 21 points in 13 appearances with Toronto. He's missed the last three games because of a knee issue. However, he's available and can be re-inserted back into fantasy lineups. With Immanuel Quickley good to go after recently returning from a three-game layoff of his own, Dennis Schroder, Gradey Dick, and Gary Trent Jr. should see fewer minutes.

Toronto Raptors guard RJ Barrett (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. This marks the second game in a row that Barrett has missed due to left knee swelling. His absence means that Dennis Schroder figures to once again move into the starting unit. Last game, Schroder finished with 16 points, three rebounds, 10 assists, two steals and a block in 34 minutes. He's well worth a look as a streaming option with Barrett sidelined for at least one more game.

Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (ankle) will return for Friday's meeting with the Houston Rockets. The 26-year-old hasn't played in nearly a month, missing time because of an ankle injury. He'll likely be limited in his first game back, so his DFS ceiling isn't as high as usual. But Poeltl should be inserted back into all fantasy lineups, with Thaddeus Young expected to see considerably fewer minutes.
