Kelly Olynyk's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Toronto Raptors center Kelly Olynyk (rest) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup against the Brooklyn Nets. Olynyk logged 34 minutes in Tuesday's defeat to the visiting Indiana Pacers, and he will catch a breather on the second night of Toronto's back-to-back. Look for the veteran playmaking big man to be available for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. In his absence, undrafted rookies Mouhamadou Gueye and Malik Williams should split minutes at center for the Raptors on Wednesday. Neither of the two bigs are recommended fantasy streamers against elite rim protector Nicolas Claxton (ankle), who is likely to be available for the Nets.

Toronto Raptors center Kelly Olynyk (rest) has been ruled out for Wednesday's tilt against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The reeling Raptors will give Olynyk a maintenance day on Wednesday, but fantasy managers should have the playmaking big man available for Friday's matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. With Jakob Poeltl (finger), Chris Boucher (knee), and Jontay Porter (personal) all sidelined, Toronto effectively has no traditional big men left standing against star defensive anchor Rudy Gobert. The Stifle Tower could feast on the glass in this one, as it looks like undrafted rookie Mouhamadou Gueye will fill the starting void down low for the Raps. We would advise staying away for fantasy purposes in most situations.

Toronto Raptors forward/center Kelly Olynyk has agreed on a two-year extension with the team, signing up for a $26.25 million pact, reports ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. The 32-year-old is coming off a three-year contract that paid him just north of $37 million. Toronto snapped up Olynyk in a trade with Utah last month. He has played eight games with the team, averaging 9.6 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.9 assists, and 1.6 steals across 20.7 minutes. The versatile Canadian big man is sharing center minutes with Jakob Poeltl in Toronto, but Olynyk will likely make his first start for his new squad on Tuesday versus New Orleans after Poeltl dislocated a finger on Sunday against Charlotte.
