Due to an illness, Quickley was not cleared to play until a little over an hour before tipoff. He looked to be under the weather, and dealing with the Celtics’ perimeter defenders didn’t help matters, either. The hope is that Quickley will be at full strength for Tuesday’s NBA Cup quarterfinal matchup with the Knicks.

Finishing two assists shy of a triple-double, Barnes recorded his 12th double-double of the season on Sunday. He continues to provide first-round value in 12-team, nine-cat formats while sitting a few spots outside of that threshold in eight-cat. Boosting Barnes’ fantasy value is the fact that he has not missed a game this season. He’ll look to help the Raptors advance to the NBA Cup semifinals in Las Vegas when they host the Knicks on Tuesday.

Coming off of his worst offensive performance of the season in Friday’s loss to the Hornets, Ingram bounced back nicely on Sunday. He recorded his second 30-point game of the season and shot 55 percent from the field. While Ingram didn’t record any defensive stats, that isn’t a departure from the norm for him. He’s been consistently productive on offense and remained available, which has been great for him, the Raptors and fantasy managers. Toronto will play at least one game in Week 8, hosting the Knicks in an NBA Cup quarterfinal on Tuesday.

Sunday’s double-double was Queta’s second in five games and fifth of the season, as he continues to hold down the starting center role in Boston. Rostered in 38 percent of Yahoo! leagues, the 7-footer is providing top-75 value in nine-cat formats. While Queta may not be an elite fantasy center, he’s a suitable option for managers who need boosts in rebounds, blocks and field-goal percentage.

While White did not record any steals on Sunday, the three blocked shots were the most in a game for him since November 23. The Celtics guard continues to provide excellent category league value, ranking well within the top-50 in eight- and nine-cat formats. White will only have one game on the schedule for Week 8, with the Celtics visiting the Bucks on Thursday.

White finished Week 7 with an excellent stat line, making it three straight and six of the last seven games in which he’s scored at least 30 points. The Celtics star kept the turnovers in check on Sunday, making it two straight appearances with three miscues or fewer. Brown and the Celtics play once during Week 8, as they visit the Bucks on Thursday. While the schedule isn’t great for fantasy managers, it is for a player who dealt with hamstring issues earlier this season.

Ingram’s worst game of the season represented Toronto’s struggles in this game. He scored less than 10 points for the first time this season, and they’ve now lost four of their last five games, including twice to the Hornets. Ingram is in a slight shooting slump, which can help explain the lack of recent team success. He’ll look to get back on track against the Celtics on Sunday.

Ja’Kobe Walter has been starting in place of RJ Barrett (knee), but Shead replaced him to start the second half against Charlotte. That wasn’t enough to get a win, but the Raptors outscored the Hornets by three points during Shead’s time on the floor, which is impressive in a 25-point loss. It’s unclear if Shead will remain a starter against the Celtics on Sunday, but he will hold streaming appeal if he does.

Quickley was the lone bright spot in an ugly loss for Toronto. He accounted for over one-third of the Raptors’ points in this game, which marked a new season high for him.

The main knock on White this season has been a rough field goal percentage, but this was the third straight game he has shot at least 50 percent from the floor.

He didn’t contribute many defensive stats in this game, but the career highs in assists, steals and blocks have allowed White to have an excellent season thus fatr.

Walsh has been an excellent defender as a starter for the Celtics, but the scoring hasn’t come consistently. However, during this four-game win streak, Walsh has scored in double figures three times, with this performance coming 24 hours after he had a career-best 22 points. Walsh has been an intriguing sleeper in dynasty leagues for a few years, and the former five-star is now contributing in redraft leagues.

After missing the first night of the Celtics’ back-to-back, Brown was back in the lineup for this game. The last game he played in was his 42-point performance against the Knicks, and he picked up right where he left off. This was his 12th time scoring at least 30 points this season, and he has at least 30 in five of his last six appearances. That was enough in this one for Boston to win its fourth straight game, which they’ll look to continue in Toronto on Sunday.

While Walter entered Thursday having started four of Toronto’s previous five games due to RJ Barrett’s knee injury, he hadn’t taken advantage of the opportunity. The one double-digit scoring effort in that run occurred in the game that the second-year guard did not start, and he averaged 6.6 points on 36.4 percent shooting. There were no such issues for Walter against the Lakers, as he tallied a season-high point total. One game doesn’t make Walter trustworthy in most fantasy leagues, but Thursday was a step in the right direction.

Ingram had a difficult night from beyond the arc, missing all five of his three-point attempts in the 123-120 defeat. However, he shot well over 50 percent from two, preserving the overall field-goal percentage, and the rebounds and assists were also helpful to fantasy managers. With Ingram not providing consistently good value in the defensive categories or assists, his margin for error is relatively slim when discussing fantasy value. As a result, he’s slipped outside the top-75 in eight-cat formats after a promising start to the season.

Barnes and the Raptors didn’t get the victory on Thursday, but he provided fantasy managers with another exquisite stat line. The forward/guard finished one assist shy of his first triple-double of the season, and he did so on excellent percentages. Over the past two weeks, Barnes has provided top-10 per-game value in eight-cat formats, slightly better than his season-long production. While it’s still early, he’s trending toward making the second All-Star Game appearance of his career.

After reaching double figures in 11 of his first 12 games this season, Simons has scored ten points or more in six of his last ten, including three straight. And the decrease in scoring has done significant damage to the guard’s fantasy value, as he does not produce much in other fantasy-relevant categories. Simons is ranked just outside the top-200 in eight-cat value, a significant departure from his production while in Portland. Fantasy managers have to hold out hope that he’ll turn things around eventually, but the role he currently holds isn’t great.

Walsh benefitted from Jaylen Brown’s absence on Thursday, producing the best offensive night of his NBA career.

White continues to provide consistent fantasy value. While he may not offer an extremely high ceiling, the veteran guard’s floor is excellent. In nine-cat formats, he’s providing third-round value, sitting just outside the top-30. Against the Knicks, White recorded a complete stat line after sitting out Sunday’s win over the Cavaliers.

Boston trailed by as much as 14 during the first quarter but, thanks in part to Brown, would lead by as many as 21 points before holding on for the win. Brown’s eight-cat fantasy value has aligned with his Yahoo! ADP, as he’s providing third-round value. The lone issue on Tuesday was the turnover count: Brown committed four, but the overall production compensated for it.

While he did surpass 30 minutes in the two games before Sunday’s night off, Poeltl’s playing time will likely hover in the mid-to-high 20s range. While he can still be valuable to fantasy managers, that lowers his ceiling.

Ingram experienced an injury scare during the third quarter when he rolled his right ankle. However, after a quick trip to the locker room, he was back on the bench and ultimately returned to action.

Quickley started Tuesday’s game hot, hitting his first five three-point attempts in what would be one of his best outings of the season.

In 12-team formats, that’s slightly better than his Yahoo! ADP (74).
