Scottie Barnes Scottie Barnes dishes out 10 assists vs. SAC
Wed, Apr 1, 2026, 5:38 PM
Scottie Barnes amassed 14 points (5-of-14 FGs, 4-of-8 FTs), five rebounds, 10 assists, two steals and one block in Wednesday's loss to the Kings.
Analysis: While Barnes' percentages were poor on Wednesday, the rebounds, assists and defensive stats were good. Regarding the shooting, it's fair to wonder if Barnes' left shoulder may be causing him some trouble, even though he's a right-handed player. He shot 2-of-8 from the field in Tuesday's loss to the Pistons and was only slightly better against Sacramento. The Raptors play games on Friday and Sunday, so Barnes won't have to deal with another back-to-back this week. |

Jamal Shead Jamal Shead posts 16 points, seven assists
Wed, Apr 1, 2026, 5:37 PM
Jamal Shead recorded 16 points (5-of-9 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), one rebound, seven assists, one steal, one block and three three-pointers in Wednesday's loss to the Kings.
Analysis: With Wednesday's game being the second in as many nights for the Raptors, Shead was inserted into the starting lineup with Brandon Ingram out. The second-year guard was solid, with the 16 points being the most he's scored in a game since a January 11 game against the 76ers in which Shead put up 22. Add in the assists, defensive contributions and percentages, and Wednesday was a good night for the few streaming Shead. His fantasy value for the rest of Week 23 depends on the statuses of Ingram and Immanuel Quickley. And with the Raptors not having another back-to-back, there's no need to add Shead. |

RJ Barrett RJ Barrett scores team-high 20 points vs. SAC
Wed, Apr 1, 2026, 5:36 PM
RJ Barrett finished Wednesday's loss to the Kings with 20 points (8-of-19 FGs, 3-of-5 FTs), five rebounds, six assists and one three-pointer.
Analysis: Barrett extended his streak of games with at least 20 points to three on Wednesday, while also providing solid value in rebounds and assists. Unfortunately, he doesn't bring much to the table defensively, and his percentages weren't great on Wednesday. Those issues limit Barrett's value in category leagues, with the wing being a better option in points leagues. The Raptors play two more games in Week 23, starting with the Grizzlies on Friday. |

Wed, Apr 1, 2026, 1:55 PM
NBA Lineups
Jamal Shead, Ja'Kobe Walter, RJ Barrett, Scottie Barnes and Jakob Poeltl will start Wednesday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: Already without Immanuel Quickley, the Raptors will also be without Brandon Ingram for Wednesday's game. His absence opens up a spot in the lineup for Shead, who can be useful to deep-league managers needing assists and steals. |

Garrett Temple (shoulder) is available for Wednesday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: Temple is available, but he has not cracked double digits in minutes in a game this season. His availability does not affect fantasy basketball. |

Scottie Barnes Scottie Barnes (shoulder) upgraded to available
Wed, Apr 1, 2026, 1:12 PM
Esfandiar Baraheni
Scottie Barnes (shoulder) is available for Wednesday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: Barnes is good to go after initially being questionable for Wednesday's game. He'll occupy his usual place in the Raptors' starting lineup, so fantasy managers need to ensure that he isn't sitting on their bench. |
|
Garrett Temple Garrett Temple (shoulder) questionable vs. Kings
Wed, Apr 1, 2026, 8:53 AM
NBA Injury Report
Garrett Temple (shoulder) is questionable to play against the Kings on Wednesday.
Analysis: Temple could be sidelined for this game, but the veteran has yet to play 10 minutes in a game this season. His impact is made in the locker room, so his status won't alter Toronto's rotation. |

Brandon Ingram Brandon Ingram (heel) ruled out vs. Kings
Wed, Apr 1, 2026, 7:12 AM
NBA Injury Report
Brandon Ingram (heel) has been ruled out against the Kings on Wednesday.
Analysis: Ingram will unsurprisingly sit out the second leg of this back-to-back as he continues to manage a heel injury. Jamal Shead joined the starting unit in Ingram's latest absence, and he should return to the opening lineup for this game. |
|
Scottie Barnes Scottie Barnes (shoulder) questionable vs. Kings
Wed, Apr 1, 2026, 7:09 AM
NBA Injury Report
Scottie Barnes (shoulder) is questionable to play against the Kings on Wednesday.
Analysis: Barnes was held to just five points in Tuesday's loss, though he was still able to dish out double-digit assists for a fifth straight game. If he is forced to sit out the second leg of this back-to-back, Collin Murray-Boyles should start in his stead. |

Immanuel Quickley Immanuel Quickley (foot) remains out vs. Kings
Wed, Apr 1, 2026, 7:06 AM
NBA Injury Report
Immanuel Quickley (foot) has been ruled out against the Kings on Wednesday.
Analysis: Ja'Kobe Walter should be in line for another start with Quickley set to miss a sixth straight game. Walter has had some productive outings, though he was quiet in Tuesday's loss. Jamal Shead will also play a big role off the bench, and he dished out 12 assists on Tuesday. |

Brandon Ingram Brandon Ingram has 22 points in loss to Pistons
Tue, Mar 31, 2026, 5:02 PM
Brandon Ingram had 22 points (7-of-15 FGs, 7-of-8 FTs), one rebound and one three-pointer in Tuesday's loss to the Pistons.
Analysis: Ingram was a late scratch for Sunday's win over the Magic, but returned Tuesday with 22 points in the loss to the Pistons. The 28-year-old small forward didn't do much else in his 31 minutes, adding just one rebound and one three-pointer. The Raptors still have three games left in Week 23 for Ingram to have a more complete game. |

Tue, Mar 31, 2026, 1:19 PM
NBA Injury Report
Brandon Ingram (heel) is available to play against the Pistons on Tuesday.
Analysis: Ingram missed Sunday's blowout win over Orlando, but he will be back to take on Detroit. Ja'Kobe Walter started that game in his place but will be pushed back to a reserve role for this one. |
|
RJ Barrett RJ Barrett (shoulder) available Tuesday vs. DET
Tue, Mar 31, 2026, 8:48 AM
NBA Injury Report
RJ Barrett (shoulder) is available for Tuesday's matchup with the Pistons.
Analysis: Barrett will shake off a probable tag and play through a shoulder injury, just as he did Sunday when he dropped 24 points. Fantasy managers should expect him to see a normal workload with the potential for additional scoring and playmaking responsibilities with Immanuel Quickley out and Brandon Ingram questionable. |

RJ Barrett RJ Barrett (shoulder) probable vs. Detroit
Mon, Mar 30, 2026, 10:49 AM
NBA Injury Report
RJ Barrett (shoulder) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Pistons.
Analysis: Barrett played through his left shoulder injury on Sunday, scoring a game-high 24 points in a rout of the Magic. The probable tag suggests that he'll be available on Tuesday, which would be pretty big for the Raptors. Immanuel Quickley is out, while Brandon Ingram is questionable after not playing on Sunday. |

Brandon Ingram Brandon Ingram (heel) questionable vs. Detroit
Mon, Mar 30, 2026, 10:40 AM
NBA Injury Report
Brandon Ingram (heel) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pistons.
Analysis: Ingram was a late scratch for Sunday's 52-point win over the Magic, with Jamal Shead moving into the starting lineup. With Immanuel Quickley still out, Shead would likely remain with the starters if Ingram can't play. |
|
Immanuel Quickley Immanuel Quickley (foot) remains out vs. Detroit
Mon, Mar 30, 2026, 10:34 AM
NBA Injury Report
Immanuel Quickley (foot) is out for Tuesday's game against the Pistons.
Analysis: While Ja'Kobe Walter has served as Quickley's replacement in the Raptors' starting lineup, he was joined in the starting lineup by Jamal Shead for Sunday's win over the Magic since Brandon Ingram was also out. Walter is likely to get another start on Tuesday, making him worthy of streaming consideration in deep leagues. |

Sandro Mamukelashvili Mamukelashvili drops 19 points, three steals
Sun, Mar 29, 2026, 2:36 PM
Sandro Mamukelashvili recorded 19 points (8-of-13 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), four rebounds, three steals and two three-pointers in Sunday's win over the Magic.
Analysis: With Collin Murray-Boyles (back) being ruled out after initially being declared available for Sunday's game, there was a little more room for Mamukelashvili to provide value off the bench. He was one of many Raptors to have a good night in the 139-87 victory, with eight Raptors scoring in double figures. Category league managers still rostering Mamukelashivili will also be pleased with the three steals, and he's up to nine in his last four games. |

Scottie Barnes Scottie Barnes posts 23 points, 15 assists
Sun, Mar 29, 2026, 2:36 PM
Scottie Barnes amassed 23 points (9-of-14 FGs, 3-of-5 FTs), five rebounds, 15 assists, three steals and two three-pointers in Sunday's win over the Magic.
Analysis: Barnes' assist production has been elite recently. Counting Sunday, he has recorded 49 assists while committing 11 turnovers in his last four games. Add everything else that the two-time All-Star brings to the table, and Barnes' Week 22 was very impressive. Over the past week, he has been a top-10 player in eight-cat formats, according to Basketball Monster. Barnes and the Raptors should encounter more resistance on Tuesday when they open a four-game Week 23 in Detroit. |

Sun, Mar 29, 2026, 2:35 PM
RJ Barrett (shoulder) accounted for 24 points (8-of-14 FGs, 8-of-8 FTs), three rebounds, three assists and three steals in Sunday's win over the Magic.
Analysis: Added to the Raptors' injury report late Sunday afternoon, Barrett was able to start that night's matchup with the Magic. And he was able to get a little more rest towards the end of the 139-87 demolition, logging 26 minutes. Barrett was efficient when on the court, helping the Raptors compensate for Brandon Ingram (heel) being a late scratch. The Raptors play four games in Week 23, starting with the Pistons on Tuesday. |

Brandon Ingram (heel) is out for Sunday's game against the Magic.
Analysis: Initially made available for Sunday's game, Ingram is now out. RJ Barrett is available, so that will help the Raptors offensively. Jamal Shead has moved into the starting lineup, joining Barrett, Ja'Kobe Walter, Scottie Barnes and Jakob Poeltl. |
