Scottie Barnes Scottie Barnes finishes defeat with 16 points
Thu, Mar 5, 2026, 5:19 PM
Scottie Barnes dropped 16 points (7-of-12 FGs), two rebounds, three assists, one block and two three-pointers in Thursday's loss to the Timberwolves.
Analysis: While Barnes continues to hit double figures in the points category, his production in some other categories has slipped since the All-Star break. In six games, the All-Star forward has averaged 15.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.5 blocks while shooting 48.7 percent from the field. Barnes has been close to a top-25 player in eight-cat formats during this stretch, according to Basketball Monster, so the fall has not been a steep one. But he's capable of doing more than he has in recent games. |

Immanuel Quickley Immanuel Quickley posts 18 points, seven assists
Thu, Mar 5, 2026, 5:18 PM
Immanuel Quickley recorded 18 points (6-of-10 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), three rebounds, seven assists, one steal and two three-pointers in Thursday's loss to the Timberwolves.
Analysis: After shooting 4-of-14 from the field in Tuesday's loss to the Knicks, Quickley cleaned up his shooting on Tuesday. The Raptors guard made 60 percent of his attempts, and fantasy managers also received solid value in the assist category. Since failing to record an assist in Toronto's February 25 loss to the Raptors, Quickley has totaled 30 helpers over his last three games while committing five turnovers. |

RJ Barrett RJ Barrett scores game-high 25 points vs. MIN
Thu, Mar 5, 2026, 5:18 PM
RJ Barrett accounted for 25 points (9-of-14 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), six rebounds, one block and four three-pointers in Thursday's loss to the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Make it four games of 20 points or more in the last for Barrett, whose fantasy value slipped noticeably heading into the All-Star break. His value has rebounded somewhat since the break, but limited assist and defensive production continue to limit Barrett's value, especially in category leagues. The Raptors play once more in Week 19, on Sunday against the Mavericks. |

Blake Murphy
Brandon Ingram (thumb) is available to play against the Timberwolves on Thursday.
Analysis: Ingram was listed as questionable ahead of this game, but he will play through the sprained thumb in his left hand. He scored 31 points against the Knicks on Tuesday and will look to stay hot in this one. |

NBA Injury Report
Brandon Ingram (thumb) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Timberwolves.
Analysis: If there's a positive to Ingram's sprained thumb, it's that the injury is on his non-shooting (left) hand. If he's unable to play against the Timberwolves, Ja'Kobe Walter may be the player most likely to move into the starting lineup. |

Immanuel Quickley Immanuel Quickley posts 13 points, 12 assists
Tue, Mar 3, 2026, 5:01 PM
Immanuel Quickley finished Tuesday's loss to the Knicks with 13 points (4-of-14 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, 12 assists, two steals and three three-pointers.
Analysis: The good news for fantasy managers was that Quickley recorded 12 assists, the second consecutive game that he's hit double digits in that category. However, he struggled to knock down shots, shooting 3-of-10 from beyond the arc. Quickley has shot the ball well from the field since the All-Star break, making nearly 49 percent of his attempts. Tuesday's performance wasn't the best, but he's been good overall in recent weeks. |

Brandon Ingram Brandon Ingram scores game-high 31 points Tuesday
Tue, Mar 3, 2026, 5:01 PM
Brandon Ingram accumulated 31 points (11-of-20 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), two rebounds, four assists, one steal, one block and three three-pointers in Tuesday's loss to the Knicks.
Analysis: Ingram had it rolling during the first half, as he scored 27 points on 9-of-13 shooting from the field. The Knicks did a far better job of defending him after halftime, limiting the slender forward to four points. Ingram's 31 points were the most in a game for him since the Raptors' first game out of the All-Star break, and he did finish with a complete stat line. |

RJ Barrett RJ Barrett records 20 points, three assists
Tue, Mar 3, 2026, 5:00 PM
RJ Barrett accounted for 20 points (9-of-13 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, three assists and one three-pointer in Tuesday's loss to the Knicks.
Analysis: While Barrett had a good night shooting the basketball, he has yet to beat the Knicks since being traded to Toronto. While he's scored at least 20 points in three of his last four outings, the lackluster production outside of points and rebounds is why Barrett is a better option in points leagues than category leagues. The Raptors play two more games in Week 19, starting with the Timberwolves on Thursday. |

Mon, Mar 2, 2026, 10:48 AM
NBA Injury Report
Scottie Barnes (thigh) is not on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.
Analysis: Barnes was dealing with a thigh contusion but fully participated in Monday's practice. He isn't listed on the initial injury report for Tuesday's game against the Knicks, a clear sign that the All-Star forward will be available. |

Scottie Barnes Scottie Barnes (thigh) questionable Tuesday
Mon, Mar 2, 2026, 9:33 AM
Michael Grange
Raptors reporter Michael Grange reports that Scottie Barnes (thigh) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup with New York.
Analysis: Barnes went through Monday's practice, but he'll carry a questionable designation due to a thigh bruise. If Barnes is ultimately ruled out, Ja'Kobe Walter could replace him in the starting five, making him worth a look as a deep-league streamer. |

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. |

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. |

Scottie Barnes Scottie Barnes (quad) upgraded to available

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. |
