While Boucher’s absence will not significantly impact fantasy basketball, it does leave the Raptors light on bodies. Due to the lack of depth, especially in the frontcourt, Orlando Robinson should not lack playing time against the Jazz.

Vucevic has missed six games in a row and appears headed for a seventh. The 34-year-old center has had a surprisingly good season in fantasy, but can’t seem to shake the right calf strain. Zach Collins will continue to have fantasy value for as long as Vucevic is out.

Boucher was initially listed as probable after having his wisdom teeth removed, but he has now been downgraded to doubtful. However, he hasn’t been part of Toronto’s rotation recently even when he has been healthy, so his status won’t directly impact any other Raptors.

Giddey returned following a one-game absence and picked up right where he left off. His numbers have been up across the board since the All-Star break, and Chicago’s starting PG has averaged 21.8 points, 11.1 rebounds and 8.6 assists across his last seven appearances. He’s on a roll, and fantasy managers should continue to reap the benefits for the foreseeable future.

White was electric in this one, and he joined Michael Jordan and Zach LaVine as the only Bulls to hit for at least 44 points and seven three-pointers in a single game. This one came down to the final possession, and White made an impact on defense by tipping a pass intended for Franz Wagner and shaving a couple seconds off the clock on the Magic’s final trip down the court. White averaged just 10.7 points across his last six matchups with the Magic, and to say his career night was unexpected is an understatement. He’s scored at least 24 points in four straight and hit multiple three-pointers in seven straight.

Both players have been sidelined for a little while now, but they will be available to play against Utah. Toronto has been trying to improve their lottery odds, so it wouldn’t be shocking if Temple and Battle were finally part of the rotation. However, that isn’t enough of a reason to consider streaming them.

Toronto has made it clear that they’re looking to improve their lottery odds, and Friday’s matchup against a fellow tanking team is an important matchup. Barrett and Poeltl should be back in the lineup against Washington on Saturday, though they are also fighting for the best lottery odds, which could mean shortened nights for the pair. Orlando Robinson should start at center, while Jared Rhoden and AJ Lawson are candidates to start in place of Barrett.

Vucevic and Ball will remain out for another game, with the former missing a sixth-straight contest. As for Ball, Thursday’s contest will be the third he’s missed with a sprained wrist. Zach Collins and Tre Jones have been the replacements in the starting lineup, and both are worth rostering when allowed to play extended minutes. Over the past two weeks, Collins, rostered in 38 percent of Yahoo! leagues, has provided fourth-round value in nine-cat formats.

At Ingram’s introductory press conference, it was made clear that ensuring he’s healthy for the start of the 2025-26 season is the priority in Toronto. While increasing his on-court activity, the veteran forward remains limited to individual work, and the Raptors will provide a status update in two weeks. Unless he can be stashed in an IL+ slot, fantasy managers should drop Ingram, especially if they can find a solid contributor on their league’s waiver wire.

Agbaji injured his ankle during the Raptors’ February 28 game against the Bulls and has not played since. He has shed his walking boot, but even with that development has not returned to practice. With the Raptors’ wing only now beginning to increase his workload, he’s likely to miss a few more games.

Mogbo suffered a broken nose during Tuesday’s win over the Magic, exiting after playing seven first-half minutes. His absence frees up playing time for Orlando Robinson, who logged 24 minutes off the bench against the Magic.

Buzelis’ fantasy value hasn’t been the best recently, with the rookie providing 14th-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats since the All-Star break. However, as a starter, he’s well-positioned to have nights like Tuesday. Buzelis was productive in the points, rebounds and assists categories and played 31 minutes. For managers in deep leagues needing a player whose availability won’t be a concern down the stretch, Buzelis is worth a look.

Since stepping in for the injured Nikola Vucevic, Collins has been on a roll. He has averaged 18.2 points, 10.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.4 steals, 0.6 blocks and 1.0 three-pointers in his five starts. That production has been good for top-25 value in eight-cat formats. Vucevic could return by the end of Week 18, with the Bulls playing games against the Magic and Heat. However, managers who still have Collins rostered should hold onto him.

Due to the many injuries the Bulls are dealing with, White took on a starring role on Tuesday. The field goal percentage wasn’t the best, but the overall stat line was one that many fantasy managers will live with. And he’s been a positive asset since the All-Star break, providing top-40 value in eight- and nine-cat formats. The Bulls head to Florida for their final two games of Week 18, starting with the reeling Magic on Thursday.

Terry was one of the replacements in the Bulls’ starting lineup Tuesday night. While Tre Jones provided value, that could not be said for Terry. As a result, Talen Horton-Tucker played 31 minutes off the bench and finished with 22 points, six rebounds, four assists and three three-pointers. With Ayo Dosunmu (shoulder) out for the season, Terry should have additional opportunities to play rotation minutes. However, Horton-Tucker is the safer bet for deep-league managers seeking value.

With Josh Giddey and Lonzo Ball out of the lineup, Jones made his first start as a Chicago Bull. And he did much of what fantasy managers have come to expect, providing solid value in the assists category. The eight rebounds were also good, and Tuesday’s performance was an example of why Jones can be valuable despite not doing much scoring. Of course, the absences had much to do with Jones playing 34 minutes. He’s only worth rostering if Giddey and Ball remain out.

With Gradey Dick (knee) sidelined for at least two weeks, this should be the first of many starts for Walter in the near future. It’s an excellent opportunity for the rookie, and he took advantage on Tuesday. Darko Rajakovic benched his starters at the end of the game, which was likely an effort to improve Toronto’s lottery odds. However, Walter didn’t seem to get the memo, and he hit a three-pointer with half a second left in the fourth quarter to five the Raptors the lead. The rookie is available in 99 percent of Yahoo! leagues, and Toronto has two more games this week.

Barnes struggled in Sunday’s win over Orlando, but he was more productive in the rematch on Tuesday. Barnes fell one rebound shy of tying his season-high, and he was able to contribute value across the board. Unfortunately, he was among the starters that were benched late in this game, and he didn’t play the final eight minutes of Tuesday’s win. The intention was likely to improve Toronto’s lottery odds, but the reserves still got the win. Still, that should be a red flag for fantasy managers. Keep an eye on the injury report moving forward.

The two game series in Orlando between these teams featured two eerily similar games. Barrett scored 20 points while shooting at least 50 percent from the field in both, and Toronto won two games that came down to the wire. That seemed to work against what they wanted to happen, as Barrett was among the starters that were pulled from the game late to try and help the Raptors improve their lottery odds. It didn’t work, which is a bit concerning for managers that have Barrett rostered. Hopefully he’ll continue to suit up, but managers should keep a close eye on the injury report.

After playing 24 and 22 minutes in his first two games back from a hip pointer, Poeltl played 26 against the Magic. The veteran center recorded his first double-double since February 2, and the 16 points are the most Poeltl’s scored in a game since January 27 (21 vs. New Orleans). His minutes limit has led to more playing time for Orlando Robinson, who contributed six points, seven rebounds and one blocked shot in 21 minutes. However, Robinson will only have value on nights when Poeltl doesn’t play.

Barrett remains a superior option in eight-cat formats than nine-cat, and Sunday was a prime example of why. He shot the ball well and recorded a solid stat line, but RJ was also responsible for five turnovers. Since the All-Star break, there has been a four-round difference in Barrett’s fantasy value, with the 2019 draft pick being far better in turnover-punt builds. He’ll look to clean up the turnovers when the Raptors face the Magic again on Tuesday.

Quickley has scored 23 points or more in four of Toronto’s six games since the All-Star break. However, the combination of limited defensive production and a mediocre field goal percentage means he has only been a top 100 player in eight- and nine-cat formats. That’s better than Quickley’s season-long fantasy value, so the uptick in overall production is coming at the right time for those who have him rostered. The Raptors play three games during Week 18, starting with Tuesday’s rematch with the Magic.
