Bruce

Brown

Woj notes that, “Brown will be a valuable trade asset on an expiring contract for the Raptors.” Keep an eye on Brown’s status after free agency opens on Sunday as he could be on the move.

Barrett was a late addition to the injury report, and it doesn’t come as a surprise that he will now sit out of a meaningless game for Toronto. Bruce Brown, Ochai Agbaji and Jordan Nwora will all take on extra minutes.

Barrett wasn’t initially on the injury report, but now there is a chance that he sits out after dropping 35 points on the Heat in their last game. Bruce Brown, Ochai Agbaji and Jordan Nwora will likely soak up Barrett’s minutes if he sits.

Trent’s availability is more significant, as he was a fixture in the starting lineup when he was healthy. Gradey Dick is likely headed to the bench, but the rookie will figure prominently within the Raptors’ bench rotation. Brown will also play solid minutes off the bench as Toronto looks to end its season on a high note.

After being listed as questionable on the initial injury report, Trent and Brown did not play in Wednesday’s loss to the Nets. If that’s the case on Friday, veteran wing Garrett Temple (36 minutes vs. Brooklyn) would have the most to gain. Ochai Agbaji and Gradey Dick also benefit, with the former Kansas standouts logging over 30 minutes as starter on Wednesday.

Both wings have been ruled out after initially being listed as questionable to play in this game. Their absences will open up minutes for both Jordan Nwora and Gradey Dick, with one of them likely moving into the starting unit to replace GTJ.

Barrett and Olynyk will miss the second half of Toronto’s back-to-back, while Gradey Dick (groin), Gary Trent Jr. (back) and Bruce Brown (knee) will all get questionable tags. Quickley should enjoy a monster workload, while Javon Freeman-Liberty, Malik Williams and Jordan Nwora should be in line for expanded roles.

Gradey left Saturday’s game against the Wizards with a groin injury and is working toward playing on Tuesday. Gary Trent Jr., Ochai Agbaji, and Bruce Brown could benefit from the rookie missing more time.

Trent and Brown have been upgraded from questionable to available, with the former set to start. Brown is worth rostering in deep leagues, but GTJ is the player fantasy managers should target first if they need a final-day boost.

Trent Jr. suited up in their last game and dropped 31 to lead the Raptors to an upset win over the Bucks. If he ends up missing this game, Brown or Gradey Dick will likely fill his spot in the starting unit. Brown has missed the team’s last two games, and he should start if he returnsfor this game. If Trent Jr. plays, Ochai Agbaji will likely be pushed to the bench.
