Immanuel Quickley

TOR Shooting Guard #5

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Immanuel Quickley (left UCL tear) will not play in Thursday’s game against the Timberwolves.

On November 12, it was revealed that Quickley suffered a partial tear of the ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow and would be re-evaluated in one week. He’ll miss at least Thursday’s game against the Timberwolves, and the Raptors guard does not have a concrete timeline for return. As a result, Davion Mitchell should be streamed in deep leagues for the foreseeable future.
Scottie Barnes

TOR Small Forward #4

Scottie Barnes (right orbital fracture) was a full participant in Wednesday’s practice and is expected to be questionable for Thursday’s matchup with the Timberwolves.

Barnes has been sidelined since October 28, but he’s nearing a return. If Barnes doesn’t play Thursday, his next chance to take the court will come on Sunday at Cleveland.
Ochai Agbaji

TOR Small Forward #30

Ochai Agbaji posted a full line on Monday with 11 points (4-of-7 FGs), four rebounds, six assists, one steal, three blocks and two triples against Indiana.

Agbaji has had a productive season for Toronto this year, which continued in this game. He contributed value across the board and had a much better shooting night after three straight games making less than 40% of his shot attempts. Agbaji is currently available in 62% of Yahoo leagues but should be a solid streaming option until the team starts to get healthier. He had a hot scoring stretch a couple weeks ago, and while he can’t be relied on for that many points often, the defensive numbers and 3-pointers should be there consistently.
RJ Barrett

TOR Small Forward #9

RJ Barrett lit up Indiana with 39 points (13-of-21 FGs, 9-of-12 FTs), nine rebounds, five assists, four 3-pointers and five turnovers in a 130-119 win on Monday.

Two days after setting a new career-high for assists, Barrett had the third-highest scoring performance of his career, which was his best since being traded to the Raptors. He is currently averaging career-highs in points, rebounds, assists and 3-pointers, though his shooting efficiency and turnovers have taken a step back. Barrett still doesn’t really contribute defensive numbers, so he relies on nights like this one to really contribute in fantasy basketball. Since being held to a season-low seven points last week, he has scored at least 20 in three straight, which he will look to keep going against Minnesota on Thursday.
Jakob Poeltl

TOR Center #19

Jakob Poeltl stuffed the stat sheet on Monday with 30 points (13-of-18 FGs), 15 rebounds, two assists, two steals, two blocks and six turnovers against the Pacers.

Poeltl has been on quite the runover their last few games. He is averaging 30.0 points, 15.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.7 blocks while shooting 70.7% from the floor over their last three games, which is certainly helping his trade value. With Toronto in the middle of a rebuild, Poeltl should be a hot target for contending teams at the trade deadline. More performances like this will certainly help bring back more assets to the Raptors in February. Until then, he’ll continue to put up big numbers as the unquestioned starting center.
Scottie Barnes

TOR Small Forward #4

Scottie Barnes (right orbital fracture) will be re-evaluated on Tuesday.

Barnes was injured during an October 28 loss to the Nuggets, with it being announced that he would miss at least three weeks. Tuesday would be that point in the recovery process, so the Raptors (and fantasy managers) will better understand how much Barnes has progressed. Ochai Agbaji will remain in the starting lineup while Barnes sits.
Bruno Fernando

TOR Center #24

Bruno Fernando (right ankle sprain) has been ruled out for Monday’s Raptors-Pacers matchup.

Fernando has provided Toronto’s undermanned frontcourt with some support off the pine. Chris Boucher and Jonathan Mogbo will get a chance to contribute more behind Jakob Poeltl while Fernando is out.
Ochai Agbaji

TOR Small Forward #30

Ochai Agbaji tallied 13 points (5-of-13 FGs), six rebounds, three assists, one block, and three 3-pointers in 39 minutes in Saturday’s overtime loss to Boston.

Agbaji had a tough assignment on Saturday, as he was the player most responsible for guarding Jayson Tatum. While he did a good job overall, the final image of Saturday’s overtime thriller was Tatum cashing a three over Agbaji’s outstretched hand. However, this should not dampen his start, as Agbaji is providing top 75 per-game value in 9-cat formats. Few, if any, fantasy managers expected that before the season began.
RJ Barrett

TOR Small Forward #9

RJ Barrett logged 42 minutes in Saturday’s loss to Boston, finishing with 25 points (10-of-27 FGs, 4-of-9 FTs), 10 rebounds, 15 assists, one steal, one block, and one 3-pointer.

Other than the field-goal percentage, Barrett performed excellently on Saturday. He established a new career-high with 15 assists and recorded a triple-double. Also, Barrett only committed one turnover. He remains ranked outside the top 150 in per-game value, but managers should be okay with taking the hit while the Raptors are without Scottie Barnes and Immanuel Quickley.
Jakob Poeltl

TOR Center #19

Jakob Poeltl shot 16-of-19 from the field and 3-of-4 from the foul line in Saturday’s overtime loss to Boston, accumulating 35 points, 12 rebounds, and one steal in 37 minutes.

Poeltl ended Week 4 with a bang production-wise. One night after he went for 25 & 19 against the Pistons, he scored a career-high 35 on 16-of-19 shooting while also grabbing 12 rebounds. A top-25 player in 9-cat formats over the last week, Poeltl’s cracked the top-50 in season-long value. Injuries to Scottie Barnes and Immanuel Quickley have given the Raptors center more opportunities to get his offense, much to the delight of managers who have him rostered. Toronto plays three games in Week 5, beginning with the Pacers on Monday.
