RJ Barrett's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. After playing 33 minutes in Tuesday's loss to the visiting Indiana Pacers, Barrett will get the night off on the second half of Toronto's back-to-back. The 23-year-old Canadian swingman should be able to return for Friday's contest against the Miami Heat. The short-handed 25-54 Raptors could turn to Jordan Nwora and Jalen McDaniels for additional minutes in their starting lineup on Wednesday, but it's difficult to pinpoint a clear beneficiary of Barrett's absence for DFS purposes. The sharpshooting Gary Trent Jr. (back) should lead the offense if available, averaging 21.9 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.8 steals, and 3.1 three-pointers over his last 14 games.

Toronto Raptors guard RJ Barrett (rest) is expected to return to the court ahead of Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Both Barrett and forward Kelly Olynyk (rest) both sat out of Wednesday's game. Fantasy managers shouldn't be too concerned as it appeared to be a routine rest day. The return of these players should mean decreased roles for Garrett Temple, Jalen McDaniels and Malik Williams.

Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (rest) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The 23-52 Raptors will give Barrett the second night of their back-to-back off after the Canadian swingman scored 28 points in 26 minutes during his return from a nine-game absence to mourn the passing of his younger brother. Fantasy managers can expect Barrett back for Friday's tilt against the Milwaukee Bucks. One of Garrett Temple and Jordan Nwora should jump into Toronto's first unit with Bruce Brown (knee) doubtful on Wednesday, but neither are recommended pickups in the championship round against a vaunted Minnesota defense that features the best defensive efficiency rating (106.0) in the Association.
