Toronto Raptors DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (illness) is probable for Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. A late scratch ahead of Saturday's defeat to the Portland Trail Blazers with an illness, Barrett is expected to return Monday. With a plethora of Raptors on the injury report, the 23-year-old swingman should be very busy in a tough matchup against Denver. Barrett is averaging 21.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 1.4 steals over his last 19 appearances.

Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (hip) will not play in Monday's contest against the Denver Nuggets. Quickley was a late addition to the injury report with a flexor strain in his left hip and looks to return in Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Toronto's offense should run through RJ Barrett (illness), who is probable on Monday, with Gary Trent Jr. (groin) also sidelined, but there is significant blowout risk against the defending-champion Nuggets.

Toronto Raptors forward/center Chris Boucher (knee) has received a questionable tag while dealing with a right knee contusion. The silver lining is that the 31-year-old has been able to suit up in both of the team's last two games, so it's unclear how severe the knee contusion is right now. Fantasy managers will want to check back after an hour or so before tipoff. If he's able to play, Boucher should get plenty of minutes since Jakob Poeltl (hand) is out indefinitely. In his last two games, Boucher has provided a solid amount of points, rebounds, threes, and blocks, so he could provide a good boost to managers who are in the fantasy playoffs. Kelly Olynyk and Jalen McDaniels will see more minutes if Boucher can't play though.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Bruce Brown (knee) has been tagged as questionable against the Denver Nuggets on Monday. The veteran wing hasn't played in the last four games while he deals with right knee inflammation. His return would give the lineup a much-needed boost while they're missing two important starters in Scottie Barnes (hand) and Jakob Poeltl (hand). On top of that, they could be without RJ Barrett (illness) who's questionable. If Brown can play, he'll likely get plenty of opportunities on a short-handed roster. If he's unable to suit up along with Barrett, Gradey Dick and Gary Trent Jr. should both remain in the starting lineup and are quality streaming options.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett (illness) is suffering from an illness and has been tagged as questionable for their Monday night game. The Duke product was forced to miss their last game against the Portland Trail Blazers on Saturday, so the illness may linger enough to keep him out of at least one more game. If he can suit up, Barrett has turned himself into an automatic fantasy starter since joining the Raptors back in December. On the other hand, if he's sidelined for one more game, Immanuel Quickley will likely play some big minutes while Gary Trent Jr. and Gradey Dick will remain in the starting five as long as Bruce Brown (knee) also doesn't play.
