Wed, Feb 25, 2026, 6:51 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jakob Poeltl (back) is not on the injury report against the Spurs on Wednesday.
Analysis: Poeltl missed Tuesday's game against the Thunder, but he will be available for the second leg of this back-to-back. His return should push Collin Murray-Boyles back to the bench after he started against OKC. |

Scottie Barnes Barnes (quad) tallies 15/3/7/3/4 line vs. OKC
Tue, Feb 24, 2026, 4:59 PM
Josh Lewenberg
Scottie Barnes returned to the lineup on Tuesday and contributed 15 points (7-of-18 FGs), three rebounds, seven assists, three steals and four blocks in a 116-107 loss to the Thunder.
Analysis: Barnes injured his right quad during the fourth quarter of this game, which could lead to him missing Wednesday's game against the Spurs. However, he was productive in his return from a one-game absence due to personal reasons. Barnes' well-rounded production, specifically on the defensive end, has allowed him to be a fantasy superstar this year, but he actually set a new season high for âstocksâ in a game in this one. Ja'Kobe Walter started when Barnes was out on Sunday and could return to the role if Barnes is sidelined against San Antonio. |

Jakob Poeltl Jakob Poeltl (back) out Tuesday vs. Thunder
Mon, Feb 23, 2026, 10:43 AM
Jakob Poeltl (back) is out for Tuesday's game against the Thunder.
Analysis: Poeltl is set to miss Tuesday's matchup against the Thunder for lower back strain injury management reasons. The 30-year-old center had six points and eight rebounds in 26 minutes in Sunday's win over the Bucks. Collin Murray-Boyles should start and see more minutes with Poeltl sidelined. |

Scottie Barnes Barnes (personal) off injury report Tuesday
Mon, Feb 23, 2026, 10:37 AM
Scottie Barnes (personal) is off the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against the Thunder.
Analysis: Barnes has been away from the team since Friday, missing Sunday's win over the Bucks. The 24-year-old small forward is set to return Tuesday against the Thunder. That means Ja'Kobe Walter, who had nine points and six rebounds in 30 minutes on Sunday, will head back to the bench. |

Jakob Poeltl Jakob Poeltl starts, logs 26 minutes vs. Milwaukee
Sun, Feb 22, 2026, 12:21 PM
Jakob Poeltl accounted for six points (3-of-4 FGs), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals in Sunday's win over the Bucks.
Analysis: After coming off the bench in Toronto's first game out of the All-Star break, Poeltl's role sparked concern among many fantasy managers. He was back in the lineup on Sunday, playing 26 minutes. One would assume that Poeltl's opportunities will increase eventually, but the Raptors aren't going to rush the process. Collin Murray-Boyles (eight points, four rebounds and two steals) played 20 minutes off the bench on Sunday, and the lineup change does mean his fantasy value takes a hit. |

Brandon Ingram Brandon Ingram posts 22 points, six assists
Sun, Feb 22, 2026, 12:06 PM
Brandon Ingram finished Sunday's win over the Bucks with 22 points (8-of-17 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), two rebounds, six assists, two blocks and two three-pointers.
Analysis: After putting up 26 shots in Toronto's first game out of the All-Star break, a win over the Bulls on Thursday, Ingram attempted 17 against the Bucks. Toronto's shot distribution was more equal on Sunday, with four of the five starters putting up at least ten shots. All that Ingram's final line lacked was a steal, but the two blocks were a welcome bonus for fantasy managers. The Raptors open their three-game Week 18 with a home back-to-back against the Thunder and Spurs. |

Immanuel Quickley Immanuel Quickley torches Bucks for 32 points
Sun, Feb 22, 2026, 12:02 PM
Immanuel Quickley amassed 32 points (11-of-19 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), three rebounds, nine assists, one steal and five three-pointers in Sunday's win over the Bucks.
Analysis: After getting off to a slow start, the Raptors grabbed control of Sunday's game by outscoring Milwaukee 70-46 over the second and third quarters. During those periods, Quickley shot 8-of-11 from the field and assisted on five other made shots, four being three-pointers. The 32 points equaled his tally in Toronto's prior two games and were the most for Quickley since dropping 40 on the Warriors on January 20. The Raptors play three games in Week 18, starting with the Thunder on Tuesday. |

Scottie Barnes Scottie Barnes (personal) ruled out vs. Milwaukee
Sat, Feb 21, 2026, 11:26 AM
NBA Injury Report
Scottie Barnes (personal) is out for Sunday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis: Barnes has been away from the team since Friday, when he was excused from practice for personal reasons. He'll miss Sunday's game, likely opening up a spot in the starting lineup for Ja'Kobe Walter. While not a player worth streaming in 12-team leagues, Walker is worth a look in deeper formats. |

Scottie Barnes (personal) was excused from Friday's practice.
Analysis: Barnes, who played 34 minutes in Thursday's win over the Bulls, was excused from Friday's practice for personal reasons. The Raptors don't play their next game until Sunday against the Bucks, and more will be learned about his status for that contest when Toronto releases its injury report on Saturday. Barnes has only missed one game this season, a January 9 loss to the Celtics, with Ja'Kobe Walter replacing him in the starting lineup. |

Brandon Ingram Brandon Ingram has 31/8/6 line in win over Bulls
Thu, Feb 19, 2026, 4:48 PM
Brandon Ingram had 31 points (11-of-26 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), eight rebounds, six assists, two steals and three three-pointers in the Raptors' 110-101 victory over the Bulls on Thursday.
Analysis: Ingram went off for 31 points, but wasn't very efficient as he shot 11-of-26 from the field. The 28-year-old forward also had eight rebounds and six assists with only two turnovers. On a night where Scottie Barnes had 14 points, five assists and six turnovers, Ingram carried the Raptors to the win. Toronto will close out the week against the Bucks on Sunday. |

Sandro Mamukelashvili Sandro Mamukelashvili (ribs) available vs. Chicago
Thu, Feb 19, 2026, 12:40 PM
Omer Osman
Sandro Mamukelashvili (ribs) is available to play against the Bulls on Thursday.
Analysis: Mamukelashvili will suit up for Thursday's contest despite previously being questionable with a rib injury. The veteran forward remains a key piece to Toronto's bench, bringing rebounding and efficient inside-out scoring to the frontcourt. He doesn't have high upside as far as fantasy production goes, but he should be able to put up decent production in his minutes. |

Sandro Mamukelashvili Sandro Mamukelashvili (ribs) questionable vs. CHI
Wed, Feb 18, 2026, 12:24 PM
NBA Injury Report
Sandro Mamukelashvili (ribs) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis: Mamukelashvili has dealing with a right rib contusion, casting some doubt on his availability for Thursday's game. With Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb) on track to return, and Jakob Poeltl and Trayce Jackson-Davis being available, the Raptors will have the bodies needed to account for Mamu's absence if he can't play. |

Chris Paul Chris Paul officially retires from the NBA
Fri, Feb 13, 2026, 7:23 AM
Instagram
Chris Paul officially announced his retirement from the NBA after 21 seasons.
Analysis: Paul was waived by the Raptors on Friday afternoon and shortly afterwards, took to Instagram to announce his official retirement, saying, âThis is it! After over 21 years, I'm stepping away from basketball.â Paul had previously announced that this would be his final season, but then tensions flared with the Clippers earlier in the year, which led to his departure from the team. Paul was a 12-time All-Star, 11-time All-NBA point guard, five-time assists leader, nine-time All-NBA defensive team honoree, and two-time Olympic gold medalist with the United States men's basketball team. He averaged 16.8 points, 9.2 assists, and 4.4 rebounds in his career and will undoubtedly be a Hall of Famer. |

Scottie Barnes Scottie Barnes puts up 17/7/5/3/4 line vs. Pistons
Wed, Feb 11, 2026, 5:52 PM
Scottie Barnes finished with 17 points (5-of-13 FGs), seven rebounds, five assists, three steals and four blocks in a 113-95 loss to the Pistons on Wednesday.
Analysis: Barnes has enjoyed an excellent season, and he will enter the All-Star break on a high note, even if it wasn't enough for the Raptors to get a win. This was his fourth game with at least four blocks over the past two weeks, and he has averaged 18.3 points, 9.0 rebounds, 6.0 assists, 1.3 steals and 2.8 blocks while shooting 54.4 percent from the floor during that stretch. After playing in the All-Star Game, Barnes will look to finish out the final two months of the regular season strong. |

Jakob Poeltl Jakob Poeltl (back) logs 20 minutes in return
Wed, Feb 11, 2026, 5:46 PM
Jakob Poeltl returned to the lineup on Wednesday and contributed nine points (4-of-7 FGs) and six rebounds against the Pistons.
Analysis: Poeltl suited up for the first time since December and was immediately back in the starting unit. He played 20 minutes and wasn't productive, but it was a positive step to see him back out on the floor. It has been a rough season to this point for Poeltl, but he'll get some time to rest more during the All-Star break. He'll look to have a more productive final two months of the regular season. |

Jakob Poeltl Jakob Poeltl (back) available vs. Detroit
Wed, Feb 11, 2026, 11:55 AM
Jakob Poeltl
Jakob Poeltl (back) is available for Wednesday's game against the Pistons.
Analysis: For the first time since December 21, Poeltl is available to play. He's yet to come off the bench this season, so he'll likely be in the starting lineup. However, the 7-footer will be under a minutes restriction, so fantasy managers should expect to still see plenty of Sandro Mamukelashvili. |

Jakob Poeltl Jakob Poeltl (back) questionable Wednesday vs. DET
Tue, Feb 10, 2026, 9:18 AM
Omer Osman
According to Raptors reporter Omer Osman, Jakob Poeltl (back) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the Pistons.
Analysis: Poeltl could return to the court after nearly two months on the shelf, though he'll surely be on a minutes restriction if he does. With Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb) already ruled out, Sandro Mamukelashvili could be in line for big minutes. |

Trayce Jackson-Davis Trayce Jackson-Davis plays 16 minutes in TOR debut
Sun, Feb 8, 2026, 11:39 AM
Trayce Jackson-Davis tallied 10 points (2-of-4 FGs, 6-of-10 FTs), 10 rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in Sunday's win over the Pacers.
Analysis: Jackson-Davis made the most of his debut appearance for the Raptors, recording a double-double. While 16 minutes aren't a big deal for most players, TJD met or exceeded that number just 14 times with the Warriors this season before being traded. The issue moving forward is that the Raptors were shorthanded on Sunday: Jakob Poeltl (back) was out, and Collin Murray-Boyles left the game in the first half with a thumb injury. While Jackson-Davis played well, fantasy managers should not overreact. |

RJ Barrett RJ Barrett posts 20 points, eight rebounds vs. IND
Sun, Feb 8, 2026, 11:38 AM
RJ Barrett recorded 20 points (7-of-15 FGs, 4-of-7 FTs), eight rebounds, five assists, one steal and two three-pointers in Sunday's win over the Pacers.
Analysis: Back in the lineup after sitting out Thursday's win over the Bulls, Barrett had a good afternoon against the Pacers. All that was missing from his stat line was a blocked shot. Unfortunately, Barrett's fantasy value has tailed off after a hot start to the season. But, in fairness to him, there may have been too much expected of Barrett in terms of fantasy value. While days like Sunday are certainly possible, Carter is a better option in points leagues than category leagues. |

Sandro Mamukelashvili Mamukelashvili hits three triples, scores 17
Sun, Feb 8, 2026, 11:38 AM
Sandro Mamukelashvili amassed 17 points (6-of-9 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, one assist, one steal and three three-pointers in Sunday's win over the Pacers.
Analysis: With Jakob Poeltl (back) still out and Collin Murray-Boyles exiting before halftime after aggravating his left thumb injury, the Raptors needed a bit more from Mamukelashvili on Sunday. As has been the case multiple times this season, Mamu stepped up, and he's scored at least 14 points in four consecutive games. Poeltl is getting closer to a return, but it's challenging to envision a scenario in which Mamukelashvili falls off the radar entirely. He's played that well in his first season in Toronto. |
