RJ Barrett RJ Barrett (ankle) questionable vs. Portland
Thu, Jan 22, 2026, 1:23 PM
NBA Injury Report
RJ Barrett (ankle) is questionable to play against the Trail Blazers on Thursday.
Analysis: Barrett has been sidelined for Toronto's last seven games, but there is a chance he returns to the lineup against Portland. Jamal Shead has been the recent starter in his place and will head back to the bench when Barrett returns. However, he has been productive as a starter and is worth streaming if Barrett remains out. |

RJ Barrett Raptors/Kings discussing Barrett, Sabonis deal
Thu, Jan 22, 2026, 9:05 AM
Evan Sidery
Evan Sidery reports that âthe Kings and Raptors have recently conducted exploratory trade talks centered on Domantas Sabonis.â
Analysis: Sidery also mentions that âSacramento is eyeing RJ Barrett as the primary player in return.â We do know from previous reporting that the Raptors are open to moving some combination of Barrett, Immanuel Quickley, and/or Jakob Poeltl at the trade deadline. It remains to be seen if anything comes from this, but Sabonis would fit as a post offensive option alongside slashing wings like Brandon Ingram and Scottie Barnes. |

Jamal Shead Jamal Shead dishes out six assists vs. Sacramento
Wed, Jan 21, 2026, 6:58 PM
Jamal Shead posted 15 points (5-of-12 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, six assists, two steals and three three-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Kings.
Analysis: While Immanuel Quickley (18/6/8/2 with one three-pointer) continues to lead the way for the Raptors' guards, Shead has provided valuable contributions in the aftermath of RJ Barrett's ankle injury. The second-year guard has scored in double figures in three of his last four games, and at least six assists accompanied each of those double-digit efforts. Shead isn't a must-stream player, but he's worth watching for the time being. |

Sandro Mamukelashvili Sandro Mamukelashvili drops 22/9/4 line vs. SAC
Wed, Jan 21, 2026, 6:58 PM
Sandro Mamukelashvili recorded 22 points (8-of-14 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), nine rebounds, four assists and three three-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Kings.
Analysis: While Jakob Poeltl (back) and Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb) being out for Tuesday's win over the Warriors did not result in Mamukelashvili starting then, he was in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Kings. And Mamu came through with one of his best games of the season, with the 22 points being two shy of his season-high. Add in the rebounds and assists, and Mamu provided a reminder why he should be rostered in deep leagues. With Poeltl having returned to Toronto to get his back examined, Murray-Boyles is considered to be day-to-day. If he remains out, Mamukelashvili will be worth picking up for Friday's game in Portland. |

Brandon Ingram Brandon Ingram finishes road win with 23 points
Wed, Jan 21, 2026, 6:57 PM
Brandon Ingram accounted for 23 points (7-of-15 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), three rebounds, four assists and three three-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Kings.
Analysis: For the first time since the first few days of January, Ingram has scored at least 22 points in consecutive games. And even with the limited defensive production, he has been one of the most valuable players in fantasy basketball over the past two weeks, providing third-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats. Ingram and the Raptors play two more road games to end Week 14, starting on Friday in Portland. |

Scottie Barnes Scottie Barnes posts 23/8/7/4/1 line vs. SAC
Wed, Jan 21, 2026, 6:56 PM
Scottie Barnes amassed 23 points (8-of-17 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), eight rebounds, seven assists, four steals, one block and one three-pointer in Wednesday's win over the Kings.
Analysis: Barnes has scored at least 22 points in five straight games, continuing to produce at a high level for fantasy managers. Over the past two weeks, the Raptors' forward has been a top-25 player in eight-cat formats. After serving as the small-ball five to begin Tuesday's win over the Warriors, Barnes was in a more comfortable position on Wednesday. But it doesn't matter where he plays; Barnes will be a highly valuable player for the Raptors and fantasy managers. |

Sandro Mamukelashvili TOR starts Quickley, Shead, Ingram, Barnes, Mamu
Wed, Jan 21, 2026, 3:25 PM
NBA Lineups
Immanuel Quickley, Jamal Shead, Brandon Ingram, Scottie Barnes and Sandro Mamukelashvili will start Wednesday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: Unlike the Warriors, who the Raptors beat on Tuesday, the Kings start two legitimate interior players in Precious Achiuwa and Maxime Raynaud. To account for this, Mamuekelashvili is in the starting lineup, with Gradey Dick heading to the bench. Even if he were to be used in a reserve role, Mamu is a far better fantasy option than Gradey. |

Jakob Poeltl Poeltl (back) to meet with specialist Thursday
Wed, Jan 21, 2026, 3:20 PM
Michael Grange
Jakob Poeltl (back) has returned to Toronto to meet with a specialist on Thursday.
Analysis: Poeltl's back has been an issue since the preseason, with the 7-footer limited to 21 games. He was with the team for its west coast trip, even going through an individual workout ahead of Sunday's loss to the Lakers. However, Poeltl has returned to Toronto and will be evaluated by a specialist on Thursday. Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb) is also sidelined, leaving the Raptors to rely on Sandro Mamukelashvili and Jonathan Mogbo. |

RJ Barrett RJ Barrett, Ja'Kobe Walter out Wednesday vs. SAC
Wed, Jan 21, 2026, 9:58 AM
NBA Injury Report
RJ Barrett (ankle) and Ja'Kobe Walter (hip) are out for Wednesday's matchup with the Kings.
Analysis: Despite a report that Barrett hoped to play Wednesday, he'll be sidelined for a seventh straight game. Jamal Shead should continue to see additional minutes until Barrett is back, and with Walter still out, Gradey Dick could take on an expanded role. |

Brandon Ingram Brandon Ingram hits four triples, scores 22 points
Tue, Jan 20, 2026, 6:37 PM
Brandon Ingram amassed 22 points (8-of-17 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, five assists, one steal, one block and four three-pointers in Tuesday's win over the Warriors.
Analysis: Ingram was one of three Raptors starters to score at least 20 points in Tuesday's victory, and he's scored at least 19 in four straight. While Ingram's season average is slightly lower than what it was in New Orleans last season, availability has not been an issue. As a result, fantasy managers have been able to recoup excellent value for the forward, who has been close to a top-50 player in eight-cat formats. |

Scottie Barnes Scottie Barnes drops 26 points, 11 assists
Tue, Jan 20, 2026, 6:37 PM
Scottie Barnes accounted for 26 points (12-of-18 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), seven rebounds and 11 assists in Tuesday's win over the Warriors.
Analysis: Barnes finished three rebounds shy of a triple-double on a night when the Raptors were clicking on all cylinders offensively. Their 42 assists were a season-high, with Barnes and Immanuel Quickley reaching double figures in that category. Barnes has been one of the best players in fantasy basketball this season, providing top-20 value in eight- and nine-cat formats. |

Immanuel Quickley Immanuel Quickley ties career-high with 40 points
Tue, Jan 20, 2026, 6:36 PM
Immanuel Quickley finished Tuesday's win over the Raptors with 40 points (11-of-13 FGs, 11-of-11 FTs), two rebounds, 10 assists, two steals and seven three-pointers.
Analysis: Quickley put on a show Tuesday night, only missing two shots from the field and matching his career-high in scoring. Add in the assists, and the Raptors' guard had one of his most productive nights of the season. Over the past two weeks, Quickley has been a top-50 player in eight-cat formats. Tuesday's performance was an excellent one for IQ after tallying nine points in Sunday's loss to the Lakers. |

RJ Barrett RJ Barrett (ankle) hopes to play Wednesday vs. SAC
Tue, Jan 20, 2026, 4:23 PM
Esfandiar Baraheni
RJ Barrett (ankle) hopes to return to action on Wednesday against the Kings.
Analysis: Counting Tuesday's game against the Warriors, Barrett has missed the Raptors' last six games with a sprained left ankle. However, a return to action could come shortly, with it being reported that he hopes to return on Wednesday. Jamal Shead has been Barrett's replacement in the starting lineup, and he may hold onto the role if RJ's under a minutes restriction. |

Jamal Shead TOR starts Quickley, Shead, Gradey, Ingram, Barnes
Tue, Jan 20, 2026, 3:49 PM
NBA Lineups
Immanuel Quickley, Jamal Shead, Gradey Dick, Brandon Ingram and Scottie Barnes will start Tuesday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: The Raptors won't have Collin Murray-Boyles for Tuesday's game, as he's out with a left thumb injury. However, instead of inserting Sandro Mamukelashvili into the lineup, Gradey will start, with Barnes likely taking on the center responsibilities on defense. With the Warriors starting a face-up five at center (Quinten Post), the Raptors may be able to get away with starting the game without a big man. |

RJ Barrett RJ Barrett (ankle) remains out vs. Golden State
Mon, Jan 19, 2026, 2:21 PM
NBA Injury Report
RJ Barrett (ankle) has been ruled out against the Warriors on Tuesday.
Analysis: This will be a sixth straight absence for Barrett. Jamal Shead had been starting in his stead, but he was replaced by Ochai Agbaji in their last game. Agbaji wasn't productive, but if Shead returns to starting, he'll have upside as a streamer. |

Immanuel Quickley Immanuel Quickley (back) records seven assists
Sun, Jan 18, 2026, 6:58 PM
Immanuel Quickley (back) finished Sunday's loss to the Lakers with nine points (4-of-9 FGs), three rebounds, seven assists, one steal and one three-pointer.
Analysis: Quickley returned to the Raptors' lineup after missing two games, playing 29 minutes. The scoring was modest, but the seven assists were a nice tally after he failed to record any in Toronto's January 12 loss to the 76ers. Quickley has been a top-100 player in eight-cat formats, and that production level should be relatively easy for him to maintain for the rest of the season. |

Brandon Ingram Brandon Ingram records 19 points, seven assists
Sun, Jan 18, 2026, 6:26 PM
Brandon Ingram amassed 19 points (7-of-19 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), six rebounds, seven assists, three steals, one block and two three-pointers in Sunday's loss to the Lakers.
Analysis: Ingram didn't shoot as well as he's capable of in Sunday's defeat, but he did provide fantasy managers with a complete stat line to end Week 13. Over the past two weeks, the Raptors' wing has offered third-round value in eight-cat formats, two rounds better than his season-long value. The Raptors play four road games in Week 14, starting with a back-to-back against the Warriors and Kings. |

Sandro Mamukelashvili Sandro Mamukelashvili posts 20/6/2/1/1 stat line
Sun, Jan 18, 2026, 6:25 PM
Sandro Mamukelashvili finished Sunday's loss to the Lakers with 20 points (8-of-12 FGs, 2-of-5 FTs), six rebounds, two assists, one steal, one block and two three-pointers.
Analysis: The Raptors have decimated by injuries recently, and the frontcourt is a significant concern. Already playing without Jakob Poeltl (back), Toronto lost Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb) during the third quarter of Sunday's game. That put even more on Mamukelashvili's shoulders, and he finished with a solid stat line. There's hope that Poeltl returns during Toronto's road trip, but if he and Murray-Boyles aren't available, Mamu will be worth the streaming risk. |

Scottie Barnes Scottie Barnes leads Raptors with 22 points Sunday
Sun, Jan 18, 2026, 6:25 PM
Scottie Barnes produced 22 points (10-of-21 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), nine rebounds, three assists and one steal in Sunday's loss to the Lakers.
Analysis: Barnes has scored at least 22 points in three straight and four of his last five appearances, providing reliable offensive value. However, defensive production has decreased recently, which is why his season-long value has slipped out of the first round in 12-team, eight-cat formats. That said, Barnes is still averaging 2.7 âstocksâ per game for the season, so fantasy managers should not be too concerned about the recent decrease in production in steals and blocks. |

Ochai Agbaji TOR starts Quickley, Agbaji, Ingram, Barnes, CMB
Sun, Jan 18, 2026, 3:10 PM
Toronto Raptors
Immanuel Quickley, Ochai Agbaji, Brandon Ingram, Scottie Barnes and Collin Murray-Boyles will start Sunday's game against the Lakers.
Analysis: Quickley is back after a two-game absence and will start. However, his return pushes Jamal Shead to the bench, with Agbaji getting another start. The decision was likely motivated by the matchup, with Agbaji possibly being asked to defend Luka Don?i? from the start. |
