Four of the five players who started Thursday’s game against the Trail Blazers are either unavailable or have moved to the bench. Quickley, Battle, Mogbo and Poeltl are in the lineup, with Jamal Shead and Orlando Robinson moving to the bench. Also, the Raptors are without Scottie Barnes and RJ Barrett.

Curry has dealt with knee and back issues lately, but is set to start for the Hornets against the Kings Friday. Gibson, who was probable with an illness, could have a bigger role Friday with Mark Williams out, but isn’t fantasy-relevant at this point in his career.

A late addition to the Hornets’ injury report, Williams will not play, and his absence is more impactful than Smith’s regarding fantasy basketball. Jusuf Nurkic will likely move into the starting lineup, and Moussa Diabate should also have more minutes available. As for Smith, he did not play in Wednesday’s loss to the Pacers, resulting in Seth Curry moving into the starting lineup. Curry should retain that role against the Kings.

Ingram has not made his Raptors debut, as he injured his ankle in early December while a member of the Pelicans and has been sidelined since. While Rajakovic’s update is positive, it will not impact fantasy basketball this season. Most leagues do not include Week 23, and even if Ingram were to be cleared to appear in a game, his minutes would likely be limited. Ingram can provide solid fantasy value, which can be assumed even though we’ve yet to see him share the court with Scottie Barnes. However, injury issues will dent his value during draft season. Ingram has not exceeded 65 games since his rookie season.

While it was reported on March 10 that Gradey could do some shooting and running, updates have been scarce since. With the Raptors eliminated from postseason contention, there’s no need for the second-year guard to return. Gradey appeared in 54 games this season, averaging 14.4 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.9 steals and 2.1 three-pointers. He shot 41.0 percent from the field and 85.8 percent from the foul line. Finishing the season ranked just inside the top 200 in eight- and nine-cat formats, Gradey’s fantasy prospects for 2025-26 took a significant hit when the Raptors acquired Brandon Ingram from the Pelicans at the February trade deadline.

Barnes has been playing through a hand injury for months, but will get the day off Friday. Jonathan Mogbo is the likely replacement for Barnes against the Pistons. Barnes’ fantasy managers have to be worried the Raptors won’t continue to push Barnes to play through the injury at this point in the season.

Williams was initially listed as probable, but has since been downgraded to questionable with thoracic muscle spasms just hours before game-time. It’s looking like he might be on the wrong side of questionable Friday. If that’s the case, Jusuf Nurkic is likely to start and is worth streaming consideration.

The pair sat out the first leg of Toronto’s back-to-back set on Thursday, but they’ll be back on Friday to presumably handle their normal workload. Jamal Shead and Orlando Robinson will likely retreat back to the bench after filling in with the first unit on Thursday.

No surprises here, as Toronto has alternated rest days for many of its starters since the All-Star break. The Raptors played Thursday, so Barrett and Agbaji will sit out the second leg of the back-to-back set. In their absence, Ja’Kobe Walter and Jamison Battle should earn some extra minutes.

Barrett was back after getting a rest night against Chicago on Tuesday, and based on recent trends, he will likely get another one against the Pistons on Friday. However, while available against Portland, Barrett was able to have a productive night in the loss. He typically hasn’t been productive on the defensive end, but his four total defensive stats in this game were a new season-high for him, and his three steals were the most he has had in a game since before the All-Star break. However, managers shouldn’t expect this to be the new norm for Barrett.

Robinson was back in the starting lineup with Jakob Poeltl sidelined once again. The alternating availability has made it easy to know when Robinson will start and be productive, but it has been a headache to deal with. Still, he had a decent game in a loss, which is exactly what the Raptors are trying to make happen. Robinson will likely be back to being a reserve against Detroit on Friday, but he should start in Brooklyn on Sunday to close out the week.

Agbaji has been part of the resting rotation in Toronto and has been paired up with RJ Barrett. Both he and Barrett were available in this game after resting on Tuesday, and they will both likely sit out against Detroit on Friday. However, Agbaji played well as a reserve on Thursday and had one of his best performances since the All-Star break. Still, the alternating availability makes him a headache to roster.

Rajakovic also said that Barnes has been dealing with this hand injury for months, but he has been playing through it. Unfortunately, it hasn’t gone well recently; he scored a season-low five points on Thursday after scoring nine points in each of Toronto’s last two games. If he misses Friday’s game, Jonathan Mogbo is the likely replacement in the starting unit.

Sims, who went undrafted in 2022, has played well over the last three seasons for the Greensboro Swarm, Charlotte’s G League affiliate. He has averaged 19.1 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 49 appearances for them this season and will now get the chance to finish the season with the Hornets, since this contract will take him through the regular season finale. He may get the chance to make his NBA debut against the Kings on Friday.

Bridges played just 24 minutes in the Hornets’ 14-point loss. The 27-year-old small forward is the primary offensive option for Charlotte with LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller sidelined. Bridges was efficient with 18 points on 10 shots including two made three-pointers. He’s scored at least 20 points in just three of his last nine games, but should have a higher scoring ceiling as the No. 1 option for the Hornets.

Williams once again had no production on the defensive end, but was efficient on offense and pulled down over 10 rebounds. The 23-year-old center isn’t a one-trick pony, but his skillset is limited to scoring and rebounding. He’s quite valuable in those areas, though. The main drawback for Williams and his fantasy managers is that he continues to manage a foot injury that won’t go away before the end of the regular season.

Green had three points in eight minutes before a shoulder injury knocked him out for the rest of the game in the first half Wednesday against the Pacers.

Ball underwent successful procedures on his right ankle and right wrist early this week. Unfortunately, injuries have been a significant factor in the Hornets guard’s career, as he’s surpassed 55 games once in his first five seasons. While Ball does possess a high fantasy ceiling, the injury woes make him challenging to trust in most leagues. Some managers may be willing to use a top-50 pick on him in the fall, while others would prefer to leave that dice roll to someone else.

Barrett and Agbaji will be available after sitting out Tuesday’s loss to the Bulls. The former will be in the starting lineup, likely pushing Jamison Battle to the bench.

It has been a quiet rookie season for Walter, but he has taken advantage of his opportunity recently and provided a glimmer of hope for the future. He has scored in double figures in each of his last seven appearances and has averaged 17 points, six rebounds, four assists, two steals and four triples over Toronto’s last two games. He’ll continue to play a significant role for the rest of the season, and while it won’t guarantee him a starting job next season, he could be a solid rotation piece for them in year two.

Robinson has been in and out of the starting unit recently, and he came off the bench on Tuesday with Jakob Poeltl back after sitting out on Sunday. Poeltl will likely be back out against Portland on Thursday, which means Robinson should be back in the starting unit. Regardless, Robinson has been productive as both a starter and a reserve recently and ranks inside the top-75 in nine-cat formats over the past week. He should continue to play a significant role for Toronto over their final six games of the season.

Green missed Sunday’s game with soreness in his left shoulder, but returned to the starting lineup Monday against the Jazz. The 24-year-old small forward played 26 minutes in the four-point victory.

Williams returned to the lineup after missing Sunday’s game with a foot injury that he continues to manage. The 23-year-old center was incredibly efficient on offense and hit his only two free throws. He had no production on the defensive end, but was excellent otherwise.

He’d had at least 20 points in just two of his last seven games entering play Monday, but has a higher scoring ceiling with Ball sidelined.
