Toronto Raptors DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Toronto Raptors guard Ochai Agbaji (hip) will be unavailable for a second consecutive contest on Tuesday versus the Lakers. He's suffered a hip contusion ahead of the final couple of weeks of the regular season. Agbaji averaged over 25 minutes per game last month, as Toronto had a proper look at the 23-year-old, who was brought in from Utah in February. His absence should keep Gradey Dick relevant in fantasy hoops despite the likely return of Immanuel Quickley (conditioning) and RJ Barrett (conditioning) on Tuesday.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (knee) is hopeful to return to the court before the end of the season, according to head coach Willie Green. The plan was to shut down Ingram for two weeks, which means he'd be re-evaluated on Friday. It sounds like Ingram has been progressing well. He has reportedly been running on the treadmill and making more progress each day. Trey Murphy III is expected to continue starting until Ingram is ready to play again. He'll have increased fantasy value with the starting unit, so fantasy managers should hold onto him for now. The Pelicans should give another update on Ingram's status on Friday.

Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (conditioning) and forward RJ Barrett (conditioning) are both probable for Tuesday's contest versus the Los Angeles Lakers. Following multi-game absences due to personal reasons, Quickley and Barrett have been ramping up and seem to have worked their way back in terms of conditioning. IQ has missed six straight, while Barrett has been out for eight in a row. The former New York Knicks will bolster fantasy rosters contending for championships upon their returns, with Quickley averaging 20.3 points, 8.0 assists, 5.8 rebounds, 1.2 steals, and 3.1 threes across 12 post-All-Star break games, and Barrett averaging 21.5 points, 5.1 dimes, 4.6 boards, and 2.1 treys on 53.1% shooting from deep through this period. Quickley has the better matchup of the two, as LA is giving up the third-most FanDuel points to opposing point guards.

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.
