Barrett was held out last Thursday against the Warriors, but returned to play 30 minutes against the Spurs Sunday. With the Raptors playing the second leg of a back-to-back Monday and four games on tap this week, the 24-year-old small forward will get another rest day against the Wizards. Immanuel Quickley, who also sat out Sunday, will move back into the starting lineup.

Neither Richards nor Plumlee was available for Friday’s win over the Cavaliers, resulting in rookie Oso Ighodaro moving into the starting lineup. Playing 44 minutes, Ighodaro tallied six points, 13 rebounds and four assists. If available, Richards will return to the starting five, while Plumlee is not guaranteed the rotation minutes needed to impact fantasy basketball.

Based on the timeline provided at the time of his injury, Beal is due to be re-evaluated on Monday. However, he has already been ruled out for that night’s game against the Bucks. Ryan Dunn should continue to fill in as Beal’s replacement in the starting lineup, and the rookie has provided 10th-round value in eight-cat formats over the past week.

Barrett returned to the Raptors’ lineup on Sunday after missing three games. While he recorded solid numbers in the points and rebound categories, RJ was responsible for six turnovers. However, Barrett’s availability and the Raptors’ schedule are more concerning for fantasy managers going forward. Toronto will play four games during Week 21, the first on Monday in Washington. He may be limited to three games for injury management reasons.

Shead, who filled in for Immanuel Quickley on Sunday, has reached double figures in scoring in four of his last five outings. The rookie point guard has been a little more valuable recently on nights when Quickley is available, but Shead should only be rostered on nights when he starts. Rostered in three percent of Yahoo! leagues, the Raptors guard may be worth holding onto for the beginning of Week 21. Toronto plays four games, starting with the Wizards on Monday. While Quickley could be available, this may be a spot where the Raptors decide to sit Scottie Barnes and RJ Barrett.

While Barnes has an excellent night shooting the basketball, fantasy managers in leagues that count turnovers took a beating. The Raptors wing was responsible for six turnovers, and he’s had at least five in three of his last four outings. Barnes’ status as a former All-Star means he’s held to a different standard regarding the league’s availability rules. That may benefit fantasy managers as the Raptors play out the rest of their season. However, the Raptors begin a four-game Week 21 in Washington on Monday, so it would be unsurprising if Barnes were held out.

Ighodaro drew the start with Nick Richards (calf) a late scratch Friday. While the 22-year-old center has had better games, it was an encouraging performance. Ighodaro had 13 rebounds in a difficult matchup against Cleveland’s Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen. He also played 44 minutes, which shows the Suns feel comfortable with him out there. His backup Bol Bol didn’t play at all. Ighodaro could have some real fantasy value if Richards’ injury were to linger.

Gillespie got another start with Grayson Allen (foot) out again Friday. While it appears Allen is close to returning, Gillespie had another solid game with 13 points and three three-pointers in 23 minutes.

Durant turned in a vintage performance Friday as he dropped 42 points on one of the best teams in the league. The 36-year-old small forward had his highest scoring game since he had 43 against the Pistons on December 16. Durant was a force on offense and also managed to dish out eight assists, which he’s done in back-to-back games. He continues to be an elite fantasy option since the All-Star break.

Though it has been a disappointing season overall for Quickley, mostly due to a lack of availability, he has put together a strong stretch of production over the past two weeks. During that time, he has provided third-round value in nine-cat leagues. Fantasy managers had high hopes for Quickley, but numerous injuries and playing on a lottery team really hurt his chances of living up to the preseason expectations. Still, it is good to see him finishing strong to build momentum heading into next season.

After sitting out the second night of Toronto’s back-to-back on Monday, Poeltl was back in the lineup against Golden State. His production has been limited by a lack of minutes in some of his recent appearances, but that wasn’t the case in this game. Poeltl’s 28 minutes on Thursday were the most that he has played in a game since February 2. Unfortunately, this was the last non-lottery team that Toronto will play for a while, so managers may have to deal with more limited performances from Poeltl.

Barnes has had a few rough performances recently, but he got back on track on Thursday. He scored 17 points in the first half and ended up having his highest-scoring performance since before the All-Star break. Barnes ranks just inside the top-150 in nine-cat leagues over the past two weeks despite producing top-50 value over the course of the season. Things have been messy in Toronto, which has included the benching of starters late in games to help the team lose. That wasn’t the case on Thursday, which contributed to Barnes’ fantastic night.

Ighodaro has recorded excellent percentages, shooting 77.8 percent from the field and 80 percent from the foul line. Nick Richards (10 points, four rebounds and one assist) remains the starting center, but he only logged 12 minutes on Monday.

His season-long fantasy value remains low, but Dunn has been a top-100 player over the past week.

Barnes played both games of Toronto’s road back-to-back, logging 31 minutes after playing 28 in Portland on Sunday. The lingering question for fantasy managers is how long this will last, as the Raptors are focused on developing their younger players and improving the franchise’s draft lottery odds.

Monday’s game was Mogbo’s first since March 4, when he suffered a back contusion. The rookie did not offer much production in his 27 minutes, but there will be more opportunities for him to start before the season ends.

This could be a two-game week for Quickley, which would be a bitter pill for fantasy managers to swallow.

With 8:41 remaining in the fourth quarter and the Raptors holding an 86-80 lead, Barnes was subbed out of Sunday’s game. He would not return, underlining the concern regarding elite fantasy players whose teams want to improve their draft lottery odds. Fantasy managers received solid production in the rebounds, assists and steals categories, but Barnes was also responsible for five turnovers. And with the Raptors visiting Phoenix on Monday, managers should plan for the likelihood that Barnes does not play.

Give the Raptors credit for a well-executed tank job on Sunday. Once Poeltl and Scottie Barnes were pulled from the lineup, the Trail Blazers mounted a rally and won by three.
