Jakob Poeltl Jakob Poeltl starts, records 18/10/3/3/1 line
Sat, Feb 28, 2026, 3:43 PM
Jakob Poeltl accounted for 18 points (7-of-7 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), 10 rebounds, three assists, three steals and one blocked shot in Saturday's win over the Wizards.
Analysis: After coming off the bench in Wednesday's loss to the Spurs, Poeltl was back in the starting lineup on Saturday due to Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb) not being available. And he recorded his first double-double since November 11 and the third of the season. Poeltl is still rostered in 78 percent of Yahoo! leagues, so there weren't a lot of managers who gave up on him. That patience was rewarded on Saturday, but it's fair to question whether this will be the norm for Poeltl the rest of the season. |

RJ Barrett RJ Barrett chips in with 21 points, five rebounds
Sat, Feb 28, 2026, 3:43 PM
RJ Barrett amassed 21 points (8-of-15 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), five rebounds, three assists, one steal and one three-pointer in Saturday's win over the Wizards.
Analysis: Since the All-Star break, Barrett has shot 39.1 percent from the field, so a night like Saturday was needed. The Raptors' wing had an efficient night on offense, making over 50 percent of his attempts and recording just one turnover in 33 minutes. Due to the limited production outside of points and rebounds, poor shooting affects Barrett's fantasy value more than it would if he were a productive option across the board in category leagues. He'll look to build on Saturday's effort when the Raptors host the Knicks on Tuesday. |

Brandon Ingram Brandon Ingram records 24/5/5/1/1 line vs. WAS
Sat, Feb 28, 2026, 3:42 PM
Brandon Ingram tallied 24 points (9-of-14 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), five rebounds, five assists, one steal, one block and one three-pointer in Saturday's win over the Wizards.
Analysis: Ingram has scored at least 20 points in four of his last five appearances, as he continues to provide solid fantasy value in his first season with the Raptors. Over the past month, his production is just outside the top-50 in category leagues. Add in the fact that Ingram has avoided an extended absence due to injury, and those who selected him in drafts must be pleased with the outcome. |

Immanuel Quickley Immanuel Quickley posts 27 points, 11 assists
Sat, Feb 28, 2026, 3:41 PM
Immanuel Quickley finished Saturday's win over the Wizards with 27 points (10-of-15 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), two rebounds, 11 assists and two three-pointers.
Analysis: A game that, on paper, looked like it should be a blowout proved to be competitive throughout. And that was good news for those who have Quickley rostered, as he played 37 of a possible 48 minutes. After failing to record an assist in a game for the first time this season in Wednesday's loss to the Spurs, the Raptors' guard racked up 11 on Saturday. Quickley's double-double was his seventh of the season and first since January 20, when he put up 40 points and 10 rebounds in a win over the Warriors. Toronto plays three games in Week 19, starting with the Knicks on Tuesday. |

Jakob Poeltl WAS starts IQ, Barrett, Ingram, Barnes, Poeltl
Sat, Feb 28, 2026, 12:47 PM
NBA Lineups
Immanuel Quickley, RJ Barrett, Brandon Ingram, Scottie Barnes and Jakob Poeltl will start Saturday's game against the Wizards.
Analysis: The Raptors won't have Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb) for Saturday's game, opening a spot in the starting lineup. Poeltl, who has struggled with a lower back issue since training camp, is back in the starting five, with Sandro Mamukelashvili set to serve as the backup. |

Scottie Barnes Scottie Barnes (quad) posts 15/4/2/3/1 line
Wed, Feb 25, 2026, 4:28 PM
Scottie Barnes (quad) amassed 15 points (7-of-13 FGs), four rebounds, two assists, three steals, one block and one three-pointer in Wednesday's loss to the Spurs.
Analysis: Barnes recorded a complete stat line on Wednesday despite suffering a right quad contusion during Toronto's loss to the Thunder the night prior. The good news for him and those who have Barnes rostered is that the Raptors will have a little more time off, as they don't play again until Saturday against the Wizards. And that should be a big night for him, given the Wizards' ongoing rebuild. |

Immanuel Quickley Immanuel Quickley records 20 points, four rebounds
Wed, Feb 25, 2026, 4:28 PM
Immanuel Quickley tallied 20 points (6-of-12 FGs, 5-of-7 FTs), four rebounds and three three-pointers in Wednesday's loss to the Spurs.
Analysis: Quickley provided points, rebounds and three-pointers on solid percentages, but nothing else. Wednesday's game was the first in which the Raptors' guard failed to record an assist, and his final line did not have any steals, either. However, even with his lean stat line against the Spurs, Quickley has still been a top-75 player over the past two weeks, according to Basketball Monster. He'll look to do a bit more on Saturday when the Raptors visit the Wizards. |

Brandon Ingram Brandon Ingram drops 20 points, 11 rebounds
Wed, Feb 25, 2026, 4:28 PM
Brandon Ingram finished Wednesday's loss to the Spurs with 20 points (9-of-22 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 11 rebounds and four assists.
Analysis: Brown had a chance to send Wednesday's game into overtime, but his three-point attempt from the left corner in the final seconds drifted left and hit the side of the backboard. This was a disappointing end to Ingram's night, and he's scored at least 20 points in three of his last four appearances. While his fantasy value has slipped recently, with Ingram being an eighth-round player over the past two weeks, his season-long value remains solid. The Raptors visit the Wizards on Saturday in what should be a good matchup for Ingram. |

Josh Lewenberg
Scottie Barnes (quad) is available for Wednesday's game against the Spurs.
Analysis: Despite suffering a right quad contusion during Tuesday's loss to the Thunder, Barnes has been cleared to play against the Spurs. He'll take on his usual roles as one of Toronto's offensive focal points and the team's top on-ball defender. |

Jakob Poeltl Jakob Poeltl (back) off injury report vs. SAS
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. |

Michael Grange
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. |
