Toronto Raptors DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.careports that Toronto Raptors guardRJ Barrett(illness) is unavailable for Monday's matchup with the Phoenix Suns. Barrett is dealing with an illness that will keep him out for the second consecutive contest. His absence would probably mean more action forJamison Battle,A.J. Lawson, andJamal Shead. Lawson is the best streaming option between the three, but Battle might offer some low-end value as he's played over 30 minutes in two of the last three games.

Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.careports that Toronto Raptors center, Jakob Poeltl(rest), won't play against the Phoenix Suns on Monday. Poeltl will have the evening off to rest for the second half of a back-to-back set after finishing with 19 points, eight rebounds, three assists, and two steals across 25 minutes in Sunday's 105-102 loss to Portland. The 29-year-old will likely be back for Thursday's matchup with Golden State. Until then, Orlando Robinson should take on the majority of minutes at the center this evening.

Toronto Raptors guard RJ Barrett (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Barrett appears to be dealing with a minor illness, so the team is going to wait and see how he feels on Sunday before making a final decision. Barrett looked a bit sluggish on Friday when he finished with 17 points and five assists across 25 minutes of action. His absence would probably mean more playing time for Jamison Battle, A.J. Lawson, and Jamal Shead. Between the three, Lawson is the best streaming option, but Battle might offer some low-end value because he has been playing big minutes over the last two games.

Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (rest) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The Raptors aren't playing for anything at this point, so they aren't going to risk the health of their young guard. Quickley played on Friday and looked solid with 20 points, five rebounds, and five assists in 25 minutes of action. The expectation is that Quickley will be back in action for the second leg of the back-to-back set on Monday. The absence of Quickely should mean that Jamal Shead and A.J. Lawson see increased playing time. Between the two, Lawson has been the more reliable of the two in terms of streaming appeal.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Ochai Agbaji (ankle) is not healthy enough to return to the lineup on Friday against the Utah Jazz. The team has downgraded his status from questionable to out. Agbaji will miss a seventh consecutive contest. With Ja'Kobe Walter (hip) and Gradey Dick (knee) also out of commission, Jamison Battle and A.J. Lawson could have significant roles to play again in Friday's contest. Lawson has scored an eye-popping 60 points across the past two games.
