Toronto Raptors DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett (conditioning) won't return to the lineup on Sunday against Philadelphia. Barrett has rejoined the team after missing time due to his brother's death, but he will remain absent for a ninth straight game on Sunday, as the team has downgraded him from questionable to out. Barrett's absence has given Toronto an opportunity to start developing Gradey Dick with a bigger workload. He's in line to make an 11th straight start on Sunday. Dick is averaging 12.5 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 2.0 assists in the first unit.

Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (personal) won't play on Sunday against Philadelphia. The 24-year-old missed the Raptors' previous five games and recently started practicing with the team. However, he's not ready to return, although DFS participants could see him back on the floor for Tuesday's clash with the Los Angeles Lakers. In the meantime, Javon Freeman-Liberty, averaging 13.0 points and 4.3 rebounds in three starts this season, will remain a relevant fantasy option, especially if RJ Barrett (personal) isn't back in the lineup versus the 76ers.

Toronto Raptors forward Ochai Agbaji (hip) won't play on Sunday versus the 76ers. He took a hard fall during Sunday's blowout loss to the New York Knicks and didn't return after logging just five minutes. With the Raptors' lengthy injury report, Agbaji had been more involved than usual, posting double-digit scoring performances in his previous four games leading up to Friday's game. Fortunately, RJ Barrett (personal) has a chance to return after missing a few weeks. But if Barrett isn't ready for action, Gradey Dick and Gary Trent Jr. should stay the team's top contributors. At the same time, Garrett Temple, coming off a 15-point showing, may remain relevant for DFS participants.

Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (personal) is questionable for Sunday's game against the visiting 76ers. He's been out the last few weeks due to his brother's passing, and he just recently started practicing. Of course, Toronto can't make the playoffs, so Barrett doesn't need to rush back. But with Immanuel Quickley (personal), Scottie Barnes (hand), and Jakob Poeltl (hand) sidelined, Barrett could get more scoring opportunities than he had before his lengthy hiatus. On the other hand, if he's not back on Sunday, Gradey Dick and Gary Trent Jr. should remain Toronto's primary scoring contributors. There's also a chance for Garrett Temple, coming off a 15-point effort in Friday's blowout loss to the Knicks, to stay in the DFS value conversation.

Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (hand) is doing light on-court work in practice but is still not cleared for contact. Still not using his surgically-repaired left hand, Poeltl's return to the floor is not imminent. The 23-49 Raptors have dropped 11 games in a row, so managers stashing the 28-year-old Austrian big man shouldn't be planning to have him available later during the fantasy playoffs. Playmaking center Kelly Olynyk has started each of Toronto's latest 11 matchups, providing 13.7 points, 5.5 boards, 5.5 assists, 1.1 triples, and 2.2 combined steals plus blocks but is hurting nine-category players with 3.4 turnovers per game across this period. He'll be a much better bet in points leagues the rest of the way, but Olynyk will next face a vaunted New York Knicks defense that's permitting the fewest FanDuel points to enemy centers.
