Mon, Mar 23, 2026, 6:04 PM
Sandro Mamukelashvili finished Monday's win over the Jazz with 23 points (9-of-14 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, two assists, five steals, one block and three three-pointers.
Analysis: With Jakob Poeltl (back) unavailable and Collin Murray-Boyles under a minutes limit in his return from a thumb injury, Mamukelashvili started and logged 32 minutes on Monday. And he was excellent. Recording his seventh 20-point line of the season, the 23 points were one shy of Mamu's season-high. He was also responsible for a career-high five steals, giving fantasy managers a welcome bonus in that category. |

Mon, Mar 23, 2026, 6:03 PM
Scottie Barnes amassed 20 points (8-of-10 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), seven rebounds, 10 assists, one steal, one block and one three-pointer in Monday's win over the Jazz.
Analysis: On Monday, Barnes did what fantasy managers hope to see star players do against rebuilding teams. Shooting 80 percent from the field, he recorded a complete stat line and finished three rebounds shy of a triple-double. While Barnes is up to 26 double-doubles on the season, he's only had two since the All-Star break. The Raptors play three more games in Week 22, starting with the Clippers on Wednesday. |

Mon, Mar 23, 2026, 6:03 PM
RJ Barrett accounted for 27 points (10-of-15 FGs, 3-of-7 FTs), two rebounds, six assists and four three-pointers in Monday's win over the Jazz.
Analysis: Limited to 13 points in Sunday's loss to the Suns, Barrett took advantage of the lottery-bound Jazz on Monday. He's scored at least 20 points in four of his last six games and has provided sixth-round value in eight-cat formats since March 1. Barrett's âfinishing kickâ has been a welcome development for fantasy managers looking to win a title, especially those in category leagues. |

Mon, Mar 23, 2026, 6:02 PM
Jamal Shead tallied four points (1-of-5 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), one rebound and 15 assists in Monday's win over the Jazz.
Analysis: Starting for Immanuel Quickley, who was out due to injury, Shead had the most productive night of his NBA career in the assist category. Reaching double digits in that category for the fifth time this season, the second-year guard finished with a career-high 15 helpers. Shead did not offer much as a scorer, but the few who streamed him will be pleased with the assists. |

Brandon Ingram (heel) is out for Monday's game against the Jazz.

Jamal Shead TOR starts Shead, Barrett, Ingram, Barnes, Mamu
Mon, Mar 23, 2026, 2:35 PM
Blake Murphy
Jamal Shead, RJ Barrett, Brandon Ingram, Scottie Barnes and Sandro Mamukelashvili will start Monday's game against the Jazz.
Analysis: The Raptors won't have Immanuel Quickley or Jakob Poeltl for Monday's game, opening two spots in the starting lineup. Shead and Mamukelashvili will fill the resulting voids. The combination of the spot start and the opposition makes both players worth the streaming risk in deep leagues. |

Shams Charania
According to ESPN's Shams Charania, Markelle Fultz has signed a 10-day contract with the Raptors.
Analysis: Fultz has been playing well for the Raptors' G League affiliate, and he could get some run with the parent club. It's unclear how soon he'll be available, but Toronto faces Utah on Monday, and Immanuel Quickley is out. If Fultz is available against the Jazz, he could see a few minutes behind Jamal Shead. |

NBA Injury Report
Jakob Poeltl (back) is out for Monday's matchup with the Jazz.
Analysis: Poeltl will get the night off as the Raptors play the second leg of a back-to-back set. With Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb) questionable, Sandro Mamukelashvili could be in line for a big boost in playing time against Utah. |

Immanuel Quickley Immanuel Quickley (foot) out Monday vs. Jazz
Mon, Mar 23, 2026, 8:29 AM
NBA Injury Report
Immanuel Quickley (foot) is out for Monday's matchup with the Jazz.
Analysis: Quickley's absence could mean a spot start for Jamal Shead, and given his work as a starter, the latter is worth streaming in a favorable matchup. In seven games as a starter this season, Shead has averaged 12.9 points, 2.6 rebounds, 7.6 assists, 1.1 steals and 2.0 triples across 33.9 minutes. |

Brandon Ingram Brandon Ingram limited to six points vs. Phoenix
Sun, Mar 22, 2026, 5:24 PM
Brandon Ingram shot 3-of-10 from the field in Sunday's loss to the Suns, finishing with six points, four rebounds and one assist.
Analysis: Ingram had a rough night in Phoenix, with the six points matching his season-low. And the first time he scored six points, a January 7 win over the Bulls, was a game in which he was limited to 11 minutes due to injury. Ingram played 37 minutes against the Suns and could never get on track. The good news for fantasy managers is that Toronto begins a four-game Week 22 in Utah on Monday. It would be unsurprising if Ingram had a big night against the lottery-bound Jazz. |

RJ Barrett RJ Barrett chips in with 13 points vs. Phoenix
Sun, Mar 22, 2026, 5:23 PM
RJ Barrett accounted for 13 points (5-of-8 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), three rebounds, three assists and one three-pointer in Sunday's loss to the Suns.
Analysis: Sunday's game got away from Barrett and the Raptors early, as they were outscored by 14 points in the first quarter. Over the past two weeks, he has provided eighth-round value in eight-cat formats, exceeding his season-long value. Barrett and the Raptors will look to bounce back on Monday when they visit the Jazz. |

Scottie Barnes Scottie Barnes scores team-high 17 points vs. PHX
Sun, Mar 22, 2026, 5:21 PM
Scottie Barnes finished Sunday's loss to the Suns with 17 points (8-of-9 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, six assists and two steals.
Analysis: Barnes shot the ball well on Sunday, but it didn't do much to keep the Raptors from getting blown out. Since scoring nine points in a March 11 loss to the Pelicans, he has scored at least 14 points in five straight games. While Barnes' fantasy value has taken a slight hit, it has not been to the point where he becomes a liability. The Raptors play four games in Week 22, starting with the Jazz on Monday. |

Scottie Barnes Scottie Barnes records 15/8/8/2/2 line vs. Denver
Fri, Mar 20, 2026, 7:13 PM
Scottie Barnes tallied 15 points (7-of-18 FGs), eight rebounds, eight assists, two steals, two blocks and one three-pointer in Friday's loss to the Nuggets.
Analysis: Barnes didn't have the best night shooting the basketball, shooting 1-of-6 from beyond the arc in Denver. The good news for fantasy managers, especially those in category leagues, is that the Raptors star filled the stat line in his 38 minutes. Since the All-Star break, Barnes has provided third-round value in eight-cat formats, a slight decrease compared to his pre-break production. He'll be fine, especially with the Raptors also playing four games in Week 22. |

Brandon Ingram Brandon Ingram scores 19 points vs. Denver
Fri, Mar 20, 2026, 7:12 PM
Brandon Ingram accounted for 19 points (7-of-12 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), five rebounds, two assists and one three-pointer in Friday's loss to the Nuggets.
Analysis: Despite averaging nearly 22 points per game since the All-Star break, Ingram has only been a seventh-round player during this stretch. The issue has been a decrease in his field-goal and free-throw percentages. The foul line has been the bigger issue, with Ingram's post-break percentage (76.0) being over seven points lower than his pre-break percentage (83.7). He'll look to take a step toward cleaning up that category when the Raptors visit the Suns on Sunday. |

Jakob Poeltl Jakob Poeltl records 23 points, 11 rebounds
Fri, Mar 20, 2026, 7:11 PM
Jakob Poeltl amassed 23 points (10-of-14 FGs, 3-of-6 FTs), 11 rebounds, two assists and two steals in Saturday's loss to the Nuggets.
Analysis: Poeltl's double-double was his second in three games, and he's scored at least 17 points in three straight. And his fantasy value has received a significant boost since the All-Star break, with the 7-footer providing fifth-round value in eight-cat formats. The Raptors continue their road trip on Sunday in Phoenix, the first game of two in as many nights for Toronto. With Poeltl having last played both games of a back-to-back in late October, availability could be an issue. |

Jakob Poeltl Jakob Poeltl has 17/8 line in Wednesday's victory
Wed, Mar 18, 2026, 5:48 PM
Jakob Poeltl finished Wednesday's win over the Bulls with 17 points (7-of-10 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), eight rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block.
Analysis: Poeltl needed just 21 minutes to make a big impact on Wednesday's game. In his limited time, he led the Raptors in rebounds, was one of seven Toronto players to score in double figures, and led his team in plus-minus (+33). While his final numbers against Chicago weren't as great as Sunday's 21/18/5 line against Detroit, fantasy managers should come away encouraged over Poeltl's two-game production. |

Brandon Ingram Brandon Ingram scores 18 points in win over Bulls
Wed, Mar 18, 2026, 5:41 PM
Brandon Ingram totaled 18 points (6-of-7 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), five rebounds, four assists and one three-pointer in Wednesday's win over the Bulls.
Analysis: Ingram made the most of his limited opportunities on the offensive end on Wednesday. He missed just one shot on the evening before falling just shy of the 20-point mark. The former Most Improved Player Award winner also contributed as a rebounder and passer across his 29 minutes. Ingram ultimately didn't log any fourth-quarter minutes due to the one-sided score that favored Toronto. Still, he finished with a decent final line overall. |

RJ Barrett RJ Barrett logs 23 points in blowout win vs. CHI
Wed, Mar 18, 2026, 5:35 PM
RJ Barrett added 23 points (9-of-15 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, two assists, one block and three three-pointers in the win over the Bulls on Wednesday.
Analysis: A one-sided contest limited Barrett to only 27 minutes, which was enough time for him to tally a third straight 20-point game. He was efficient again from the field en route to finishing as Toronto's leading scorer and leader in made three-pointers. Barrett has really come on as a scorer of late; in March alone, he's scored at least 20 points in six of his seven appearances, while shooting above 50.0 percent in each of the six. Solid rebounding has also provided a nice floor of late. He'll look to stay hot on Friday against the Nuggets. |

Analysis: Poeltl was efficient on Sunday and helped his fantasy managers by gobbling up the boards. The 30-year-old center also had no turnovers.

Analysis: Barrett has been excellent so far in the month of March with at least 20 points in six out of seven games.
