Toronto Raptors DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (ankle) is considered questionable against the Houston Rockets on Friday. He's already missed 11 consecutive games due to the left ankle sprain and could end up missing a 12th. The 28-year-old hasn't played since January 7 when he registered a double-double in a win over the Golden State Warriors. Poeltl has only played a few games since the team traded away OG Anunoby and hasn't played at all since Pascal Siakam was moved. His value could improve when he gets back on the court. In the meantime, if he can't return on Friday, Thaddeus Young should continue to play with the starting five in his place.

Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (knee) is still dealing with some swelling in his knee and is in danger of missing a third consecutive game. He's officially listed as questionable ahead of their Friday night contest against the Houston Rockets. Barrett has experienced some renewed fantasy relevance ever since getting traded to Toronto. In his short time with the Raptors, he's averaging 21.0 points, 7.1 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.4 made threes, and 1.8 turnovers per game. If he's able to play, he should jump right back into the starting role. On the other hand, if he's unable to suit up, Gary Trent Jr. should remain in the starting lineup while Bruce Brown gets some more usage as well.

Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (ankle) and guard Immanuel Quickley (quad) are both out for Tuesday's contest against the Chicago Bulls. Poeltl will remain sidelined for an 11th consecutive game with a sprained left ankle, while Quickley is missing a third straight matchup due to a right quadriceps contusion. Friday's outing against the Houston Rockets marks both of their next shots to return. With RJ Barrett (knee) also out on Tuesday, Bruce Brown and Dennis Schroder should stay in Toronto's starting five. Thaddeus Young and Jontay Porter should split minutes at center.

Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (ankle) is on the injury report as questionable ahead of Tuesday's clash with the Bulls. The Austrian big man is working his way back from a left ankle sprain, which has kept him sidelined since Jan. 7. Poeltl has missed 10 games, but he practiced on Monday and appears to be on the cusp of returning. Thaddeus Young and Jontay Porter have been picking up starts during Poeltl's absence and will disappear into fantasy obscurity once he's back.
