Mon, Nov 3, 2025, 9:57 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jakob Poeltl (back) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup with the Bucks.
Analysis: Poeltl has missed three straight, but he's got a chance to make his return against Milwaukee. If he's ruled out for a fourth consecutive contest, rookie Collin Murray-Boyles would presumably remain in the starting lineup, where he has excelled. |

Brandon Ingram Brandon Ingram goes for 26 points in win over MEM
Sun, Nov 2, 2025, 2:53 PM
Brandon Ingram tallied 26 points (10-of-15 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), seven rebounds, four assists, one block and one three-pointer in the win over the Grizzlies on Sunday.
Analysis: Ingram logged another productive stat line on Sunday, utilizing accurate shooting to finish the contest as one of Toronto's best scorers. Nine of his 10 made field goals came inside the arc, while he also chipped in five free throws to help land his fifth 20-point outing of the season. The veteran forward has gotten off to a fast start in Toronto and is posting some of the best shooting splits of his career through seven games. He'll look to stay hot against the Bucks on Tuesday. |

Scottie Barnes Scottie Barnes adds 19/12/8/1/5 line in Sunday win
Sun, Nov 2, 2025, 2:51 PM
Scottie Barnes totaled 19 points (8-of-19 FGs), 12 rebounds, eight assists, one steal, five blocks and three three-pointers in the win over the Grizzlies on Sunday.
Analysis: Barnes did a little bit of everything on Sunday for the Raptors. On the offensive side, he was a productive scorer both inside and outside the arc while also functioning as the team's primary facilitator. Meanwhile, he was the only Raptors player to log at least one steal and block on Sunday, with his six stocks marking a new season high. Barnes has gotten off to a productive start to his fifth NBA season and is displaying vastly improved three-point shooting thus far. If he can remain efficient from beyond the arc, he becomes even more valuable in fantasy leagues. |

RJ Barrett RJ Barrett adds 27/6/6 line in win over Grizzlies
Sun, Nov 2, 2025, 2:50 PM
RJ Barrett totaled 27 points (10-of-19 FGs, 5-of-7 FTs), six rebounds, six assists and two three-pointers in the win over the Grizzlies on Sunday.
Analysis: Despite a rough shooting night from beyond the arc, Barrett still finished as the game's leading scorer on Sunday ??" high volume helped him nearly produce 30 points, as did contributions from the charity stripe. Yet, the seventh-year wing got his teammates involved along the way and recorded a season high in assists in the win. Barrett's start to the season has yielded similar statistics to those of last year in Toronto, which suggests he should be able to maintain his current level of production throughout the year. |

Jakob Poeltl Jakob Poeltl (back) out Sunday vs. Grizzlies
Sat, Nov 1, 2025, 8:45 AM
Jakob Poeltl (back) is out for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies.
Analysis: Poeltl is set to miss his third consecutive game with a lower back issue he's battled since the preseason. The 30-year-old center didn't travel with the team on a recent road trip for treatment reasons, but still isn't ready to play. Collin Murray-Boyles and Sandro Mamukelashvii will handle the center duties in Poeltl's absence and both are worth streaming. |

Brandon Ingram Brandon Ingram has 20 points in win over Cavaliers
Fri, Oct 31, 2025, 4:46 PM
Brandon Ingram had 20 points (7-of-15 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), eight rebounds, five assists and two steals against the Cavaliers on Friday.
Analysis: Ingram has now scored at least 20 points in four of the last five games. The 28-year-old small forward is poised for a big fantasy season with the Raptors, where he's essentially atop the team's hierarchy along with Scottie Barnes and RJ Barrett. Ingram's had at least four assists in three consecutive games as well. The Raptors finish the week against the Grizzlies on Sunday. |

Scottie Barnes Scottie Barnes has 14/10/5 line in win over Cavs
Fri, Oct 31, 2025, 4:39 PM
Scottie Barnes had 14 points (6-of-14 FGs, 1-of-4 FTs), 10 rebounds, five assists, one steal, one block and one three-pointer in the Raptors' 112-101 victory over the Cavaliers on Friday.
Analysis: Barnes failed to reach at least 20 points for the second time in his last three games. The 24-year-old small forward went just 1-of-4 from behind the three-point line after an 11-of-20 start from downtown to begin the year. Barnes' usage continues to be solid alongside Brandon Ingram and RJ Barrett and with that better production should eventually follow. |

Jakob Poeltl Jakob Poeltl (back) out Friday vs. Cleveland
Thu, Oct 30, 2025, 10:55 AM
Michael Grange
Jakob Poeltl (back) will not travel with the Raptors for Friday's game against the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Poeltl has been dealing with a lower back issue since the preseason, and he did not play in Wednesday's loss to the Rockets. He'll miss a second straight game on Friday, remaining in Toronto for treatment reasons. The hope is that Poeltl will be available for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies. Collin Murray-Boyles started against Houston, with Sandro Mamukelashvili as his primary backup. Both are worth streaming, with CMB offering a higher long-term fantasy upside. |

Brandon Ingram Brandon Ingram has 29 points in loss to Rockets
Wed, Oct 29, 2025, 3:51 PM
Brandon Ingram had 29 points (11-of-16 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, four assists, one steal, one block and five three-pointers against the Rockets on Wednesday.
Analysis: While the Raptors certainly have their issues, Ingram wasn't one of them against the Rockets on Wednesday. The 28-year-old small forward had no trouble scoring on one of the league's best defensive guards in Amen Thompson. Ingram has now scored at least 22 points in three of five games so far this year. As long as he's healthy, Ingram is going to have fantasy success with Toronto. |

Scottie Barnes Scottie Barnes has 31 points in loss to Rockets
Wed, Oct 29, 2025, 3:41 PM
Scottie Barnes had 31 points (11-of-18 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), five rebounds, two assists, two steals, one block and four three-pointers against the Rockets on Wednesday.
Analysis: Barnes' 31 points tied Kevin Durant for the game-high. The 24-year-old small forward's improved three-point shooting is the story so far this year. Barnes shot just 27.1 percent from behind the three-point line last year, but is 11-of-20 from long distance to begin the season. It's an excellent development for Barnes and his fantasy managers if this is more than just a hot streak. |

Jakob Poeltl Poeltl (back) ruled out vs. Rockets
Wed, Oct 29, 2025, 8:35 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jakob Poeltl (back) has been ruled out against the Rockets on Wednesday.
Analysis: As expected, Poeltl will miss this game against Houston. Collin Murray-Boyles closed the Raptors' last game out at center and should play a significant role in this game. If CMB doesn't start, it will be because Sandro Mamukelashvili is filling that role, though CMB is a better streaming option. |

Jakob Poeltl Jakob Poeltl (back) doubtful Wednesday vs. Houston
Tue, Oct 28, 2025, 10:18 AM
Esfandiar Baraheni
Jakob Poeltl (back) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Rockets.
Analysis: Poeltl, who dealt with lower back stiffness during the preseason, exited Monday's loss to the Spurs due to a similar issue. Rookie Collin Murray-Boyles replaced him then, and his playing time will increase if Poeltl cannot play. Also in line for a boost is Sandro Mamukelashvili, but Murray-Boyles is the player to target on waiver wires. |

RJ Barrett RJ Barrett scores game-high 25 points vs. Spurs
Mon, Oct 27, 2025, 5:37 PM
RJ Barrett led the Raptors with 25 points (9-of-18 FGs), two rebounds, two assists, one steal and two three-pointers in a 121-103 loss to the Spurs on Monday.
Analysis: Barrett has gotten off to a dominant start to this season. Through four games, he's averaging 21.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.5 three-pointers per game while shooting 61.8 percent from the floor. Knowing his career-best field goal percentage in a season is 49.5 percent, and that was an outlier when compared to his other seasons, he'll certainly cool off as the season progresses. Still, this has been a fantastic start for him, and he'll look to keep it going against the Rockets on Wednesday. |

Jakob Poeltl Poeltl (back) will not return vs. San Antonio
Mon, Oct 27, 2025, 4:22 PM
Esfandiar Baraheni
Jakob Poeltl (back) will not return to Monday's game against the Spurs.
Analysis: Poeltl will be held out for the final few minutes of Toronto's game against San Antonio. Collin Murray-Boyles will fill out the center minutes in a smaller lineup to close things out. |

Brandon Ingram Brandon Ingram (ankle) absent from injury report
Mon, Oct 27, 2025, 7:16 AM
Josh Lewenberg
Brandon Ingram (ankle) is not on the injury report for Monday's game against the Spurs.
Analysis: After playing 32 minutes in Sunday's loss to the Mavericks, Ingram is not on the injury report for Monday night. That's great news for him and fantasy managers, considering how much time he missed last season due to an ankle injury. As long as he can be consistently available, Ingram will be a positive asset in fantasy lineups, regardless of league setup. |

Sandro Mamukelashvili Sandro Mamukelashvili chips in with 16 points
Sun, Oct 26, 2025, 5:10 PM
Sandro Mamukelashvili recorded 16 points (6-of-8 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), one rebound, three assists and one three-pointer in Sunday's loss to the Mavericks.
Analysis: Having totaled 11 points in his first two games as a Raptor, Mamukelashvili exceeded that number on Sunday. He shot 75 percent from the field, playing well enough to replace starting center Jakob Poeltl in the lineup to begin the third quarter. Poeltl played 19 minutes, finishing with four points, eight rebounds, four assists and one steal. Given the time Poeltl missed during the preseason, the minutes may have been limited due to the Raptors taking on San Antonio on Monday. Regardless of the reason, Mamukelashvili has quickly established himself as Toronto's best big man off the bench. |

Brandon Ingram Brandon Ingram scores 22 points vs. Dallas
Sun, Oct 26, 2025, 5:07 PM
Brandon Ingram accounted for 22 points (10-of-16 FGs), six rebounds, three assists, two steals and two three-pointers in Sunday's loss to the Mavericks.
Analysis: After shooting 7-of-16 from the field in his official Raptors' debut, Ingram is 20-of-36 over his last two. He finished Sunday's defeat a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line, and Ingram is off to a good start in his new home. However, with the Raptors visiting San Antonio on Monday to begin a four-game week, fantasy managers must watch for the early injury report. Nothing has been said that would bring Ingram's availability into question, but it would be unsurprising if he sat out due to his injury history. |

Scottie Barnes Scottie Barnes posts 33/11/6/1 line vs. Dallas
Sun, Oct 26, 2025, 4:46 PM
Scottie Barnes tallied 33 points (13-of-24 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), 11 rebounds, six assists, one steal and three three-pointers in Sunday's loss to the Mavericks.
Analysis: Barnes finished Sunday's defeat with his first double-double of the season, including a rebound tally that matched his total in Toronto's first two games. Last season, he had four games with at least 30 points and 10 rebounds. Thus far, all three of Toronto's starting wings, Barnes, Brandon Ingram and RJ Barrett (16/4/3 with one three-pointer), have recorded solid numbers, with center Jakob Poeltl's offensive production taking the most significant hit. That's good news for fantasy managers who committed to any of the wings, as there were usage concerns during the preseason. |

Scottie Barnes Scottie Barnes has 17/5/3 line in loss to Bucks
Fri, Oct 24, 2025, 3:45 PM
Scottie Barnes had 17 points (6-of-15 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), five rebounds, three assists, three steals, two three-pointers against the Bucks on Friday.
Analysis: Barnes mostly struggled from the field with 17 points on 15 shot attempts. The 24-year-old small forward was -16 in 35 minutes in a game the Raptors lost by six points. Barnes was having an off-night and deferred to Brandon Ingram, who had 29 points. After a mostly sluggish preseason, Barnes had 22 points in the Raptors' opener, but he's not out of this slump just yet. |

Brandon Ingram Brandon Ingram has 29 points in loss to Bucks
Fri, Oct 24, 2025, 3:37 PM
Brandon Ingram had 29 points (10-of-20 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), six rebounds, three assists, one block and three three-pointers against the Bucks on Friday.
Analysis: Ingram scored 29 points in his second game with the Raptors, but also had four turnovers, giving him nine in the first two games. The turnovers need to come down a little, but it was still a positive outing for Ingram. The 28-year-old small forward played 37 minutes after playing 27 minutes in the opener. Ingram's availability is the only thing standing in the way of his fantasy potential. |
