Toronto Raptors DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes (eye) will make his return to the court for Thursday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Barnes is back after missing 11 games due to a right orbital fracture. The expectation is that Barnes is going to be under a minutes limit during his first game back. Ochai Agbaji has been playing heavy minutes lately, but will probably take a backseat with Barnes back in the mix. RJ Barrett might see his usage take a hit, but he should still be able to offer strong fantasy value. Fantasy managers in season-long formats can get Barnes back in their lineups on Thursday.

New Orleans Pelicans forwardBrandon Ingram (ankles) will not suit up against the Cleveland Cavaliers due to bilateral ankle sprains on Wednesday. Ingram is likely sitting out for precautionary reasons, as the Pelicans are in the second half of back-to-back sets. Trey Murphy III (hamstring) will also have the evening off to rest. With plenty of minutes on the table, players like Brandon Boston, Javonte Green, and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl would likely see their roles to expand against the Cavs.

Toronto Raptors forwardScottie Barnes(eye) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Barnes has been out for several weeks after sustaining a right orbital fracture versus Denver on October 28th. He practiced Wednesday after missing 11 consecutive contests. Fantasy managers, be aware that if the 23-year-old returns Thursday, his minutes will likely be limited after missing a significant amount of games.

Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (elbow) will be sidelined after sustaining a partial tear to his ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow. The team will re-evaluate him in a week and provide an update "as appropriate." It's rough news for the 25-year-old, even more so since he has only appeared in three games this season because of a lengthy stint on the shelf caused by a pelvic contusion. But now that the Raptors will be without him, Davion Mitchell should once again fill the void in the rotation. Mitchell averaged 10.3 points, 6.8 assists, and 1.0 steals in eight starts this season, making him an ideal fantasy option for those in need of a replacement.

Toronto Raptors shooting guard Garrett Temple (back) has been labeled as doubtful for Tuesday's matchup against Milwaukee. The veteran is bothered by lower back spasms. Temple has made only two appearances this season, logging nine minutes in total, so he wouldn't be a big miss if he's not available. Chris Boucher will continue to lead the second unit on Tuesday. The Bucks sit right in the middle of the pack in terms of bench points allowed, making this a decent matchup for Toronto's second unit.
