Quickley

Quickley and Poeltl will get another rest day on Thursday. And with the Raptors officially eliminated from postseason contention, don’t be surprised if there are more nights off for the veteran pair. Jamal Shead and Orlando Robinson are the likely replacements in the starting lineup, and both players would be worth streaming in deep leagues.

Quickley and Poeltl are back after sitting out Sunday’s win over the 76ers, which pushes Jamal Shead and Orlando Robinson to the bench. The other change is Battle, who will start for the absent RJ Barrett (rest). Battle is only worth a look in extremely deep leagues.

Toronto will continue to alternate rest days, and IQ and Poeltl will be back after sitting out on Sunday. Their returns will push Jamal Shead and Orlando Robinson back to the bench. They’ll be resting RJ Barrett and Ochai Agbaji for this game, so there will still be minutes off the bench for Shead and Robinson, though their upside will be limited in comparison to Sunday’s game.

The Raptors will continue to rest key players over the course of the rest of the season with Quickley and Poeltl getting the day off Sunday. Quickley had 19 points and nine assists in Friday’s win over the Hornets, but with the 25-year-old point guard resting it’s likely Jamal Shead will be in the starting lineup. Orlando Robinson will be the main beneficiary of Poeltl’s absence.

Quickley is one of the Raptors who has been absent nearly every other game for the last month due to “rest.” As Toronto does its best to tank, IQ won’t see the court as much as he should, but he’ll be effective when available, as he was on Friday.

Quickley and Poeltl are back after missing Wednesday’s win over the Nets, pushing Jamal Shead and Orlando Robinson to the bench. Battle, who steps into the lineup with RJ Barrett (rest) ruled out, is the other change.

Both starters got a rest night against Brooklyn on Wednesday but will be back against Charlotte. RJ Barrett and Ochai Agbaji are getting the rest nights on Friday, so the starting lineup should look quite different. Jamal Shead and Orlando Robinson started on Wednesday but will likely be pushed to the bench.

Toronto continues to stagger availability for its starters, and IQ and Poeltl will be the next men up to ride the bench against the Nets. The pair sat out Sunday’s matchup with San Antonio and were replaced in the starting five by Jamal Shead and Colin Castleton. Shead and Castleton may be in line for another start, but Shead is the only player worth streaming.

Quickley had a subpar shooting in the win over Washington, and he entered halftime shooting 2-of-11 from the floor. He was slightly better after the break, and he was able to do plenty of scoring at the free throw line. However, like the other veterans, Quickley was limited to just 26 minutes. Toronto came away with a win, though limiting the minutes of Quickley, Jakob Poeltl and Scottie Barnes was a clear move that they weren’t interested in that happening. Managers should keep an eye on Quickley’s availability over their final three games of the week and recognize that the minutes likely won’t be increasing.

Barrett and Agbaji are the only holdovers from the lineup that started Sunday’s loss to the Spurs. Quickley and Poeltl returning will push Jamal Shead and Colin Castleton to the bench, while Battle is starting for RJ Barrett.
