Toronto Raptors DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

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 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.

Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley put together his best game as a distributor so far in his young NBA career. During the 120-113 loss to the Phoenix Suns, Quickley dropped 21 points to go along with 18 dimes, nine rebounds, one steal, and two turnovers. His previous best in assists was 15 in an overtime game back in December 2022. The former Knick has seen increases across the board in all of his traditional stats since being traded to the Raptors. He's finally become a consistent starter and has rewarded fantasy managers with some great games so far. In the 28 games in Toronto, he's averaging 17.5 points, 6.5 assists, 4.7 rebounds, and 1.5 turnovers per game.

Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (finger) will miss a second consecutive contest on Thursday versus Phoenix and is considered out indefinitely after undergoing surgery. He suffered a ligament tear in the fifth finger of his left hand versus Charlotte on Sunday. With not long to go until the end of the regular season, it's possible Poeltl is now done for the year. Kelly Olynyk has taken over as the starting center in Toronto. He had 15 points, six rebounds, seven assists, two blocks, and two minutes in his first start with the team on Tuesday versus New Orleans.

Toronto Raptors forward Ochai Agbaji (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Thursday's game against the Phoenix Suns. It's not shocking to see Agbaji on the injury report after he was forced to exit early on Tuesday due to left knee soreness. The Raptors are already without Scottie Barnes (hand) and Bruce Brown (knee) for the time being. That absence of Agbaji would mean even more minutes for Gradey Dick and Jordan Nwora. Between the two, Dick is the player to have rostered with the Raptors banged up right now.
