Temple did not play in the Raptors’ recent win over the Pacers on Friday due to a back injury. Should he be available to play on Friday, his impact won’t likely have an impact on fantasy basketball — he’s averaging 2.9 minutes per game in his 10 appearances this season.

Quickley missed Toronto’s most recent game against Indiana due to a back injury. The absence marked just his second of the season. Should he return for the matchup with the Clippers, the Raptors will get back their assist leader and one of their five players who are averaging more than 10.0 points per game.

Mamukelashvili missed Toronto’s most recent game against Indiana due to an illness. His questionable label is encouraging for the Raptors, who will face a red-hot Clippers team on Friday that has won four games in a row and 11 of the last 13. Mamukelashvili is averaging 10.3 points and 4.9 rebounds in 21.4 minutes per game.

Battle had an early exit from Wednesday’s game against the Pacersand did not return after suffering an ankle injury. Should he miss Friday’s contest, Gradey Dick, who scored 21 points and grabbed 11 rebounds against Indiana, becomes a likely candidate to take over Battle’s minutes and replace him in the starting lineup.

Jamal Shead will likely remain in the starting unit for Barrett on Friday when the Raptors host the Clippers.

Gradey may have done most of his damage during the first half, but this still counts as one of the best games of his three-year NBA career. The Raptors’ wing scored 17 first-half points, and he finished with his first career double-double. In his four prior appearances, Gradey totaled 15 points and four rebounds. To say that Wednesday’s performance was a departure from the norm would be accurate. However, due to the Raptors’ current injury situation, Gradey will have more opportunities to contribute.

Barnes finished Wednesday’s victory with a season-high in assists, with the tally of 13 being one shy of his career-high. The Raptors’ forward/guard finished three rebounds shy of a triple-double, and he continues to offer elite category-league value. The Raptors play twice more in Week 13, starting with the Clippers on Friday, and that’s good news for those who have Barnes rostered.

In his second appearance after missing two games with a right thumb injury, Ingram was outstanding on Wednesday.

Ingram now has five 30-point games this season, with four having been recorded since the beginning of December.

Diabaté has been consistently productive for the Hornets over the past month, especially while Ryan Kalkbrenner was out with an elbow injury. A sore right hip could keep Diabaté out of Thursday’s game, which would likely result in Kalkbrenner returning to the starting lineup. There would also be more opportunities for Grant Williams, but his playing time may not increase much, since he’s returning from a torn ACL.

For the first time since a November 26 loss to the Knicks, Knueppel failed to make a three-pointer in a game. He missed all three of his attempts against the Clippers, but the rookie wing still shot 66.7 percent from the field. Since the start of the new year, Knueppel has been a top-100 player in eight-cat formats, but the lack of defensive production has weighed down his value. However, that doesn’t change the fact that Knueppel has been one of the best rookies in the NBA and in fantasy basketball.

While Ryan Kalkbrenner has been available for the Hornets’ last two games after missing ten with a sprained left elbow, the Hornets have stuck with Diabaté as their starting center. And with good reason, as his activity has been difficult to ignore. While undersized, Diabaté is highly productive as a rebounder and shot blocker, and he’s been a top-100 player since the beginning of January. Kalkbrenner (two points) started the third quarter but only played 13 minutes while Diabaté logged 35. For the time being, Moussa is worth a look in 14-team leagues, especially with the Hornets closing Week 13 with three games in four days.

After ending 2025 on a run of five consecutive games with at least 22 points, Ball’s scoring output has fallen off to begin 2026. He only has two games of 20 points or more in seven appearances this month. Averaging 19.3 points on 43.6 percent shooting, Ball is ranked just outside the top-50 in eight-cat formats over his last seven games. That certainly isn’t poor value, but fantasy managers likely want more from Ball, given how well he played to close out 2025.

With Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic saying on Sunday that Jakob Poeltl (back) remains without a timetable for return, the starting center job belongs to Murray-Boyles for the foreseeable future. The lone complaint, if there is one, for fantasy managers is that the rookie doesn’t provide three-point production. Over the past two weeks, Murray-Boyles has been a top-50 player in eight-cat formats. Rostered in 27 percent of Yahoo! leagues, CMB is close to a must-add in 12-team formats.

Give the 76ers credit for a much-improved defensive effort on Barnes, who was limited to 15 points after scoring 31 in Sunday’s overtime victory. However, he still filled the stat sheet, and poor shooting performances have been far from the norm for the Raptors’ star. A third-round player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks, Barnes has offered top-15 per-game value for the season.

While Quickley’s production in the points and rebounds categories was solid, the lack of assists was disappointing for the Raptors’ point guard. Monday’s game was the first in which he failed to record an assist, one week after tallying one in a win over the Hawks. Quickley is averaging 6.1 helpers per game on the season, but a decrease in assists and poor shooting (37.7 percent over the past two weeks) has weighed down his fantasy value recently.

How much Ingram’s right thumb was an issue on Monday is up for him to say, but the Raptors’ wing struggled to find his touch against the 76ers. Back after a two-game absence, he missed both of his three-point attempts and shot 33.3 percent from the field overall. The good news for Ingram managers was that he provided substantial value in the rebounding and assists categories, recording his first double-double of the season. Toronto has three games remaining on its Week 13 schedule.

Barnes got off to a phenomenal start with 20 first-half points on 7-of-12 shooting and six free throws in his return following a brief one-game absence due to a minor right knee injury. He knocked down a go-ahead free throw with one second left in overtime to put Toronto ahead for good in the marathon affair. It was his fourth 30-point effort of the season and just two points shy of his season-high mark set back on October 26.

Shead hit a couple clutch shots down the home stretch, including a game-tying jumper in the final seconds of regulation to force overtime, in his second start of the year.

Saturday’s game was the first for Williams since November 2024, and he wasted no time getting up shots. All ten of his shots were three-pointers, of which he made three.

Five was the number of the night for Ball, with three of the four statistical categories in which he hit that number being positive. The Hornets’ guard was responsible for five rebounds, five assists, five three-pointers...and five turnovers. By now, fantasy managers know to expect high-turnover nights from Ball, but the five on Saturday were the most in a game for him since December 31. However, Ball has been a top-25 player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks, so turnovers aren’t going to cause too much stress among fantasy managers.
