Scottie Barnes Barnes finishes with 18 points in loss to Knicks
Sun, Nov 30, 2025, 3:04 PM
Scottie Barnes finished with 18 points (7-of-17 FGs), five rebounds, four assists, one steal and two blocks over 31 minutes in Sunday's loss to the Knicks.
Analysis: Barnes knocked down six of eight to score a game-high 16 first-half points, but was held to just two points in the second half as some fatigue seemed to set in for the Raptors on the second night of a back-to-back. The Raptors suffered their second straight defeat after their nine-game win streak was snapped earlier this weekend in an overtime loss to the Hornets and they've dropped nine straight games against the Knicks dating back to January 22, 2023. The 24-year-old playmaker has put together an outstanding season, delivering first-round value for fantasy purposes, averaging 19.9 points, eight rebounds, five assists, 1.4 steals and 1.6 blocks through 21 games. Toronto opens a four-game week on Tuesday against the Trail Blazers before matchups against the Lakers, Hornets and Celtics. |

Blake Murphy
Raptors analyst Blake Murphy reports that Jakob Poeltl (rest) will miss Sunday's matchup with the Knicks.
Analysis: The big man will sit out the second leg of Toronto's back-to-back set on Sunday, and Sandro Mamukelashvili could be in line for a spot start. Rookie Collin Murray-Boyles should see additional run off the bench. |

Immanuel Quickley Immanuel Quickley records 22 points, 10 assists
Sat, Nov 29, 2025, 3:00 PM
Immanuel Quickley amassed 22 points (9-of-20 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), three rebounds, 10 assists and three three-pointers in Saturday's loss to the Hornets.
Analysis: Not only did Quickley record a season-high assist total, but he notched his second double-double on Saturday. His fantasy value has consistently hovered within the top-75 in eight- and nine-cat formats thus far, with a lower-than-expected free-throw percentage being the issue. A career 85.3 percent shooter from the charity stripe, Quickley is making 74.5 percent of his attempts this season. Getting that number closer to 80 percent will go a long way toward improving IQ's fantasy value. The Raptors play four games during Week 7, starting with the Trail Blazers on Tuesday. |

Brandon Ingram Brandon Ingram scores 26 points in OT defeat
Sat, Nov 29, 2025, 3:00 PM
Brandon Ingram tallied 26 points (10-of-26 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), six rebounds, four assists and one three-pointer in Saturday's loss to the Hornets.
Analysis: Ingram has scored at least 22 points in three straight and six of his last seven games. While the shooting on Saturday wasn't great, there isn't much to complain about regarding the Raptors forward's season-long value. A top-75 player in nine-cat formats, Ingram is closing in on top-50 value in eight-cat. He'll look to take advantage of some home cooking during Week 7, as all four of the Raptors' games are at home. |

Scottie Barnes Scottie Barnes posts 30/12/5/2/1 line vs. CHA
Sat, Nov 29, 2025, 2:59 PM
Scottie Barnes finished Saturday's loss to the Hornets with 30 points (11-of-16 FGs, 7-of-8 FTs), 12 rebounds, five assists, two steals, one block and one three-pointer.
Analysis: Barnes recorded an excellent stat line on Saturday, but his run of consecutive made free throws ended at 25. So, José Calderon's franchise record of 87 consecutive made free throws remains safe. Overtime loss and free-throw streak aside, Barnes has been outstanding this season. And in fantasy, he has been a top-15 player in eight- and nine-cat formats. The Raptors play four games during Week 7, starting with Portland on Tuesday. |

Gradey Dick Gradey Dick (head) off injury report vs. Charlotte
Fri, Nov 28, 2025, 10:51 AM
Blake Murphy
Gradey Dick (head) is not on the injury report against the Hornets on Saturday.
Analysis: Dick exited early on Wednesday, but that won't keep him sidelined against Charlotte. With RJ Barrett still sidelined, Dick should see a bump in minutes, and Ja'Kobe Walter, who played 32 minutes after Dick's early exit, will likely see his minutes decrease from that game, but he'll still play more than he typically does. However, neither will be reliable streaming options in standard leagues. |

Scottie Barnes Scottie Barnes records 24/10/4/0/1 line vs. IND
Wed, Nov 26, 2025, 4:21 PM
Scottie Barnes finished Wednesday's win over the Pacers with 24 points (5-of-12 FGs, 14-of-14 FTs), 10 rebounds, four assists and one blocked shot.
Analysis: For just the second time in his last seven games, Barnes scored at least 20 points. However, he has remained a highly valuable option in fantasy leagues, even with a slight dip in scoring. Over the past two weeks, Barnes has been a top-15 player in eight- and nine-cat formats, which aligns with his season-long value. The Raptors end Week 6 with a back-to-back against the Hornets and Knicks on Saturday and Sunday. The matchup with Charlotte should be an especially good one for Barnes. |

Brandon Ingram Brandon Ingram scores game-high 26 points vs. IND
Wed, Nov 26, 2025, 4:21 PM
Eric Koreen
Brandon Ingram tallied 26 points (11-of-23 FGs, 3-of-5 FTs), eight rebounds, two steals, one block and one three-pointer in Wednesday's win over the Pacers.
Analysis: With the Pistons losing to Boston on Wednesday, Toronto's nine-game win streak is the longest in the Eastern Conference. They've got Ingram to thank for their most recent victory, as of a second remaining was the difference. He's scored at least 22 points in five of his last six games and has been a top-50 player in eight-cat formats. As long as Ingram remains healthy, fantasy managers should receive excellent value moving forward. |

Gradey Dick Gradey Dick (head) will not return Wednesday
Wed, Nov 26, 2025, 2:39 PM
Esfandiar Baraheni
Gradey Dick (head) will not return to Wednesday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: Gradey fell hard on his back late in the first quarter, forcing his head to snap back and hit the court. After some time in the bench area just before the start of the second, he went back to the locker room to be evaluated, and the Raptors have ruled Gradey out for the rest of the night. His absence likely means more minutes for Ja'Kobe Walter, especially with RJ Barrett (knee) out for at least one week. |

RJ Barrett RJ Barrett (knee) out at least a week
Wed, Nov 26, 2025, 5:43 AM
Esfandiar Baraheni
The Athletic's Esfandiar Baraheni reports that RJ Barrett (knee) will be re-evaluated in a week.
Analysis: Barrett sustained a right knee sprain in Sunday's win over Brooklyn before sitting out Monday's win over Cleveland. His timeline means Barrett will miss at least four games, though he could be forced to sit out additional games beyond that, depending on his recovery. Ja'Kobe Walter started on Monday, though he did little with his 24 minutes. Jamal Shead logged 24 minutes off the bench, and he should see an uptick in playing time for as long as Barrett is out. Gradey Dick may be more involved, too, so fantasy managers don't have a clear pickup here. |

RJ Barrett RJ Barrett (knee) out Wednesday vs. Indiana
Tue, Nov 25, 2025, 10:45 AM
Blake Murphy
RJ Barrett (knee) is out for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: Barrett will miss a second straight game with a sprained right knee, opening up a spot in the starting lineup. Ja'Kobe Walter started Monday's win over the Cavaliers, playing 24 minutes. While starting raises his fantasy ceiling, 24 minutes may not be enough for Walter to be worth the risk. |

Jakob Poeltl Jakob Poeltl grabs 13 boards in win over Cleveland
Mon, Nov 24, 2025, 3:49 PM
Jakob Poeltl tallied seven points (3-of-4 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), 13 rebounds, one assist and two steals in the win over the Cavaliers on Monday.
Analysis: Poeltl didn't have to score much to have an impact on the Raptors' victory. He crashed the glass hard and finished with a game-high in rebounds, while also finishing as one of two Raptors players with multiple steals. The veteran center has started in each of his appearances this year and continues to be a reliable frontcourt option for the suddenly-hot Raptors, who have not reeled off eight wins in a row. |

Scottie Barnes Scottie Barnes adds 18/11 double-double vs. Cavs
Mon, Nov 24, 2025, 3:40 PM
Scottie Barnes totaled 18 points (8-of-13 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 11 rebounds, six assists and one steal in Monday's win over the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Barnes made a big impact on Monday's win, finishing as one of four Toronto players to score in double figures, and one of two to collect double-digit rebounds. Despite missing on each of his three-point attempts, Barnes shot the ball efficiently overall and also found a way to conclude as one of the Raptors' best playmakers on the night. With his work on the glass, he collected his eighth double-double of the season and will have a chance to land a consecutive one against the Pacers on Wednesday. |

Brandon Ingram Brandon Ingram goes off for 37 points on Cavaliers
Mon, Nov 24, 2025, 3:33 PM
Brandon Ingram finished Monday's win over the Cavaliers with 37 points (15-of-30 FGs, 2-of-5 FTs), seven rebounds, two assists, one steal and five three-pointers.
Analysis: Ingram made his way past the 30-point mark for the first time this season and finished a few missed free throws away from a 40-point game. The former Most Improved Player took one-third of the Raptors' field goal attempts, leading to a season-high five triples. He shot efficiently and also did solid work on the glass before the night ended in an eighth-straight win for Toronto, which holds the second spot in the Eastern Conference standings. |

RJ Barrett RJ Barrett (knee) considered day-to-day
Mon, Nov 24, 2025, 11:25 AM
Michael Grange
RJ Barrett (knee) is considered day-to-day after spraining his right knee during Sunday's win over the Nets.
Analysis: Barrett landed awkwardly after completing a dunk during the third quarter of Sunday's victory. Already ruled out for Monday's game against the Cavaliers, he's considered day-to-day, which is excellent news for the Raptors. Ja'Kobe Walter and Gradey Dick are two players whose minutes may increase with Barrett unavailable. |

RJ Barrett RJ Barrett (knee) out Monday vs. Cavaliers
Mon, Nov 24, 2025, 8:10 AM
RJ Barrett (knee) is out for Monday's game against the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Barrett injured his knee when he appeared to land awkwardly after a third quarter dunk in Sunday's game against the Nets. The 25-year-old small forward didn't return to the game and is out for Monday's second game of a back-to-back against the Cavaliers. Ja'Kobe Walter and Gradey Dick are candidates for extra minutes with Barrett out, though neither are worth streaming. |

Scottie Barnes Barnes propels Raptors to seventh straight win
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 3:20 PM
Scottie Barnes piled up a team-high 17 points (6-of-13 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), seven rebounds, four assists, two steals and four blocks over 33 minutes on Sunday to propel the Raptors to a 119-109 win over the Nets.
Analysis: Barnes helped fuel Toronto to their seventh straight win since November 11 in a balanced effort where eight Raptors reached double figures. He'll take on an even larger share of the scoring load moving forward after RJ Barrett exited with a knee injury. The 24-year-old fantasy standout has produced first-round value so far, averaging 19.3 points, 7.6 rebounds, five assists, 1.5 steals and 1.8 blocks through 17 games. Toronto faces a quick turnaround with Monday's matchup against the Cavaliers to close out a back-to-back that opens a four-game week also featuring the Pacers, Hornets and Knicks. |

Gradey Dick Dick contributes 12 points off the bench in win
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 3:17 PM
Gradey Dick chipped in 12 points (3-of-6 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), one rebound, three assists and two steals over 19 minutes in Sunday's win over the Nets.
Analysis: Dick came off the bench to knock down a pair of three-pointers as one of eight Raptors in double figures. His role could expand in the short term if RJ Barrett is sidelined for any length of time after leaving Sunday's contest with a knee injury. |

RJ Barrett RJ Barrett (knee) will not return Sunday
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 1:56 PM
Michael Grange
RJ Barrett (knee) will not return to Sunday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: Barrett appeared to land awkwardly after completing a dunk during the third quarter of Sunday's game. He would leave less than a minute later and has now been ruled out for the rest of the night. Ja'Kobe Walter and Gradey Dick are available to absorb some of the minutes that would have gone to Barrett. |

Jakob Poeltl Jakob Poeltl (back) out Sunday vs. Brooklyn
Sat, Nov 22, 2025, 10:26 AM
Blake Murphy
Jakob Poeltl (back) is out for Sunday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: Sunday's game is the first of two in as many nights for the Raptors, who host the Cavaliers on Monday. Poeltl, who missed time earlier this season with a sore lower back, will not play on Sunday. Sandro Mamukelashvili, who scored a season-high 23 points on Friday, is the most likely replacement in the starting lineup. How high Mamu's ceiling is depends on the availability of Collin Murray-Boyles, who is questionable. |
