Murray-Boyles is coming off his first double-double, having accounted for 11 points and 12 rebounds in Tuesday’s win over the Heat. Along with Sandro Mamukelashvili, the rookie has played a key role off the Raptors’ bench as they account for Jakob Poeltl’s back troubles. If CMB can’t play on Friday, Jonathan Mogbo may move into the back end of the rotation after spending some time in the G Leagues.

While the decision to move Rollins to a reserve role is still questionable, it hasn’t slowed down his production. Since moving to the bench three games ago, he has averaged 18.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 1.3 steals and 2.3 triples per game. Rollins has been one of the most improved players in the NBA this season and remains a standard-league option, even as a reserve.

KPJ’s stellar season continued in this game. He scored exactly 24 points for a second straight game, but this time it was enough for Milwaukee to get a victory. He has only played 11 games this season, but he ranks in the top 10 in per-game value in nine-cat leagues. KPJ has thrived with Giannis Antetokounmpo sidelined, though it hasn’t been enough to keep Milwaukee afloat consistently. Still, it was enough in this game, and he’ll look to stay hot in Memphis on Friday.

Barnes paced Toronto’s scoring attack, hitting 10-of-13 shots from inside the three-point line, as the Raptors raced out to an early lead and never took their foot off the gas pedal. It was encouraging to see the 24-year-old franchise building block get back on track from a scoring standpoint after delivering just 20 points combined over his last two contests. He’s delivered second-round fantasy value this season as a remarkable all-around contributor, averaging 19.3 points, 8.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.6 blocks through 31 games.

After missing Thursday’s loss to the Raptors, Kuzma was moved into the starting lineup, with Gary Trent Jr. dropping to the bench. He only recorded six official field-goal attempts, but Kuzma recorded his second double-double of the season. The inconsistency makes him a challenging player to rely on in standard fantasy leagues, but Kuzma is worth a shot in deeper leagues if he remains in the starting lineup. Trent once again struggled with his shot on Sunday, scoring six points on 2-of-11 shooting.

After a stellar performance in Thursday’s loss to the Raptors, Portis was inserted into the starting lineup for the first time since November 22.

Jericho Sims, who was moved back to the bench to make room for Portis, played 19 minutes and finished with nine points, six rebounds, two assists and one steal. As long as he’s starting in place of the injured Giannis Antetokounmpo, Portis should be rostered in 12-team leagues.
