Toronto Raptors DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

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.

Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes (hand) has been doing some light on-court work but is still not cleared for contact. Barnes isn't using his surgically-repaired left hand in practice, which means he's not close to a return to the court for the 23-49 Raptors. At this stage of a lost season north of the border, managers should not be expecting the 22-year-old All-Star to contribute for them during the fantasy postseason. 2022 first-round pick Ochai Agbaji has started Toronto's last 12 games amid Barnes' absence, averaging a modest 8.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 1.0 steals in 28.1 minutes over this span. He won't be a reliable streamer on Wednesday against the New York Knicks, who rank first in the Eastern Conference with 107.6 points per game allowed during 2023-24.

Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (personal) participated in practice on Tuesday, with head coach Darko Rajakovic deeming Quickley day-to-day as he ramps back up after being away from the team for Toronto's past four contests. The 24-year-old combo guard aims to return for Wednesday's tilt versus the New York Knicks, and the 23-49 Raptors will submit official injury designations later on Tuesday. Quickley was rolling before his absence began, averaging 20.3 points, 8.0 dimes, 5.8 rebounds, 1.2 steals, and 3.1 threes covering 12 post-All-Star break games. Bruce Brown and Javon Freeman-Liberty have split work in the starting backcourt in IQ's stead, but neither of the two have separated much in terms of becoming a worthwhile fantasy streamer.
