Toronto Raptors DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (illness) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Poeltl missed the Raptors' most recent game due to illness, with Bruno Fernando stepping into the starting lineup in his absence. Poeltl has been impressive this season, averaging 16.0 points and 11.8 rebounds per game. He's also made an impact defensively, contributing 1.1 steals and 1.3 blocks per contest. His return would provide a significant boost for Toronto. Fantasy managers will want to check back closer to game time for an update on his status.

Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The big man was tagged as questionable coming into this game, but has now been downgraded to out. His absence should free up playing time for Chris Boucher and Jonathan Mogbo in the rotation. Neither player has ideal streaming option but Mogbo has been the better fantasy option over the last few games. Both players could be possible low-end streaming options with Poeltl unavailable.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (calf) is available for Thursday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Ingram will return to action after missing the team's last five contests due to right calf soreness. The 27-year-old is a key offensive weapon for the Pelicans, averaging 22.9 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 5.4 assists in 33.6 minutes per game this season. His return provides a much-needed boost to a New Orleans squad looking to gain some momentum, and fantasy managers will be glad to have him back in their lineups.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (calf) is considered questionable for Thursday's meeting with Phoenix. However, it appears likely that he will return from a five-game absence, as Ingram went through full practice on Wednesday. The team also hopes to get Herb Jones (shoulder) back against the Suns. The return of the two would be a nice boost for an injury-depleted team. Ingram is having a fine campaign and tends to do especially well in home outings, averaging 26.8 points at the Smoothie King Center compared to 17.9 points on the road.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (calf) is not ready to return to the lineup on Monday against Atlanta. The initial signs were encouraging regarding Ingram's potential return, but it has been confirmed that he will be absent for a fifth straight game. Ingram's absence will secure another start for Javonte Green. The veteran forward has not been a good option for fantasy managers, averaging 7.4 points and 3.5 rebounds in a starting role. With Ingram on the shelf, the offense will continue to run throw CJ McCollum and Dejounte Murray.
