The Raptors have made two changes to the lineup that started Sunday’s win over the Nets. Walter starts for the injured RJ Barrett (knee), who is considered day-to-day. While he isn’t a must-stream player, Walter should be watched in case Barrett’s injury is more severe than currently believed. The other change is Poeltl, who did not play on Sunday for injury management reasons. Sandro Mamukelashvili will come off the bench.

Barrett landed awkwardly after completing a dunk during the third quarter of Sunday’s victory. Already ruled out for Monday’s game against the Cavaliers, he’s considered day-to-day, which is excellent news for the Raptors. Ja’Kobe Walter and Gradey Dick are two players whose minutes may increase with Barrett unavailable.

Barrett injured his knee when he appeared to land awkwardly after a third quarter dunk in Sunday’s game against the Nets. The 25-year-old small forward didn’t return to the game and is out for Monday’s second game of a back-to-back against the Cavaliers. Ja’Kobe Walter and Gradey Dick are candidates for extra minutes with Barrett out, though neither are worth streaming.

Barnes helped fuel Toronto to their seventh straight win since November 11 in a balanced effort where eight Raptors reached double figures. He’ll take on an even larger share of the scoring load moving forward after RJ Barrett exited with a knee injury. The 24-year-old fantasy standout has produced first-round value so far, averaging 19.3 points, 7.6 rebounds, five assists, 1.5 steals and 1.8 blocks through 17 games. Toronto faces a quick turnaround with Monday’s matchup against the Cavaliers to close out a back-to-back that opens a four-game week also featuring the Pacers, Hornets and Knicks.

Dick came off the bench to knock down a pair of three-pointers as one of eight Raptors in double figures. His role could expand in the short term if RJ Barrett is sidelined for any length of time after leaving Sunday’s contest with a knee injury.

One month into the season, and Knueppel has a strong case for being the league’s best rookie. He had another excellent night on Sunday, hitting a season-high seven three-pointers and shooting over 50 percent from the field. While Charlotte lost both games of its weekend back-to-back, Knueppel put up 54 points and shot 13-of-20 from three. He’s closing in on top-50 value in eight- and nine-cat formats, outperforming his Yahoo! ADP (142) by a significant distance. Charlotte has three games in Week 6, starting with the Knicks on Wednesday.

With LaMelo Ball (ankle) and Brandon Miller (shoulder) unavailable, Sexton was one of the replacements in the Hornets’ starting lineup. The final stat line was solid, but the veteran guard did not offer much value beyond the points and assists. By now, experienced fantasy managers have a clear understanding of what they’re getting when they roster Sexton. The Hornets’ three-game Week 6 includes a back-to-back, so there may be another opportunity for Sexton to start in the near future. Sion James started in place of Miller, and the rookie finished with seven points, six rebounds, three assists and one three-pointer.

While Bridges did record a complete stat line in Atlanta, it had the potential to be even better. The Hornets forward shot 1-of-8 from beyond the arc. Since going on a run of six straight games with at least two three-pointers, Bridges went 1-of-10 in losses to the Clippers and Hawks. However, he’s still averaging a career-high 2.9 three-pointers per game, which is one reason Bridges has been a third-round player in nine-cat formats. The Hornets play three games during Week 6, starting with the Knicks on Wednesday.

Barrett appeared to land awkwardly after completing a dunk during the third quarter of Sunday’s game. He would leave less than a minute later and has now been ruled out for the rest of the night.

The Hornets are down three starters for Sunday’s game, as LaMelo Ball, Brandon Miller and Ryan Kalkbrenner have been ruled out. Sexton, James and Plumlee move into the starting lineup, with the latter making his first start of the season. That’s surprising, but Moussa Diabaté may still play more minutes despite coming off the bench.

Kalkbrenner is officially out for Sunday’s game after spraining his left ankle on Saturday. Moussa Diabaté is worth streaming as the rookie’s replacement in the starting lineup. Mason Plumlee will take on the backup role, but he’s unlikely to provide enough value to merit rostering.

Kalkbrenner sprained his left ankle during the first half of Saturday’s loss to the Clippers, so the initial “questionable” tag was somewhat surprising. With the downgrade in status, the rookie is trending toward not playing against Atlanta. If so, the Hornets will rely on Moussa Diabaté and Mason Plumlee at the center position.

Mann has been upgraded from probable to available, which will help the Hornets account for the absences of LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller. Mann offers limited fantasy value, so the expanded role does not make him a must-stream in this spot.

Mann did not play in Saturday’s loss to the Clippers, which factored into Liam McNeeley playing 18 minutes off the bench. With LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller out, there will be ample room for Mann and McNeeley in the Hornets’ rotation. However, neither qualifies as a must-stream player.

Saturday’s appearance against the Clippers was Miller’s first since October 25, so it’s unsurprising that back-to-backs are off the table for the time being.

Murray-Boyles has missed Toronto’s last two games with a sprained right MCL.

Sunday’s game is the first of two in as many nights for the Raptors, who host the Cavaliers on Monday. Poeltl, who missed time earlier this season with a sore lower back, will not play on Sunday. Sandro Mamukelashvili, who scored a season-high 23 points on Friday, is the most likely replacement in the starting lineup. How high Mamu’s ceiling is depends on the availability of Collin Murray-Boyles, who is questionable.

Diabaté took over for Ryan Kalkbrenner, who left with an ankle injury. The 23-year-old power forward started the second half and played a total of 25 minutes. Diabaté had just six points as the Hornets have no shortage of other scorers, but he’s averaging 10.1 points, 8.2 rebounds and 22 minutes this year. If Kalkbrenner were to miss time, Diabaté would certainly be worth rostering in most leagues.

Miller missed nearly a month of action with a shoulder injury before returning against the Clippers on Saturday. The 23-year-old small forward played 26 minutes in his first game back and that should only increase as he gets further away from the injury. Miller was a little rusty as he went 2-of-10 from three-point range, but still managed to score 21 points.

Knueppel had eight rebounds and seven assists the game against the Pacers on Wednesday, but had just one rebound and one assist against the Clippers on Saturday.

Connaughton had no points in six minutes off the bench before leaving with a calf injury. The 32-year-old shooting guard was quickly ruled out for the rest of the game.

Kalkbrenner started and had just two points in 11 minutes before departing with an ankle injury. While there’s no word on the exact severity of the injury yet, the 23-year-old center was quickly ruled out for the rest of the game Moussa Diabate will fill in for Kalkbrenner the rest of the way and would be a priority add for fantasy managers if the injury proves to be significant.

Mann is set to miss his third consecutive game with a sprained left ankle.

Mamukelashvili endured some struggles finishing around the basket during the first half, but that did not prevent him from having his most productive outing of the season. He recorded his first 20-point game of the season and provided solid value in the rebound category. With Collin Murray-Boyles (knee) out, there’s even more room for Mamukelashvili to have an impact. He hasn’t reached the point where he needs to be rostered in deep leagues, but keep an eye on Mamu.

Barnes’ progression as a three-point shooter has been remarkable, considering how much he struggled in his first four seasons. After averaging 4.9 and 4.3 attempts during the 2023-24 and 2024-25 seasons, he’s averaging a shade under four in 2025-26. More importantly, Barnes’ shot quality has been a factor in his shooting 39 percent from beyond the arc. He’s providing top-15 value in eight- and nine-cat formats, exceeding his Yahoo! ADP (26).

While Barrett isn’t providing top-100 value in eight- or nine-cat formats, he’s been more consistently productive this season than in years past. And that’s somewhat surprising given the Raptors’ addition of Brandon Ingram to the mix this season. Barrett has done enough to merit being rostered in most leagues, but increased defensive production would do wonders for his value.

Four Raptors, including Ingram, scored either 23 or 24 points in Friday’s 140-110 victory. He’s scored at least 20 in three straight and of his last eight appearances, and availability hasn’t been an issue for Ingram, either. Yet to miss a game, he’s providing top-50 value in eight-cat formats. Given Ingram’s injury history, fantasy managers may be hesitant to get too excited this early in the season. However, this has been a very encouraging start to his first season in Toronto.

The Raptors clinched a spot in the NBA Cup quarterfinals with a dominant performance on Friday. While Quickley wasn’t one of the four to score at least 23 points, he did dish out a team-high seven assists. Based on his Yahoo! ADP of 74, the Raptors point guard was expected to be a solid fantasy option this season. He’s been slightly better, providing sixth-round value in nine-cat formats. Sunday’s game against the Nets sets up to be another advantageous matchup for Quickley and the Raptors.

Murray-Boyles will miss a second straight game and has been diagnosed with a sprained right MCL. In other words, the rookie will likely be out for an extended period.

Knueppel played at least 40 minutes, had at least 28 points and made at least four three-pointers for the second time in his last four games.

Providing fifth-round value in nine-cat formats for the season, Quickley has been even better over the past week. He’s been a top-40 player during this stretch, averaging 17.5 points on 57.1 percent shooting.

Poetll has now scored at least 19 points in three of his last four outings, his most productive stretch of the season. The lower back issues he dealt with during the preseason appear to be a thing of the past, as the 7-footer has surpassed 30 minutes in consecutive games for the first time. A healthy Poeltl makes a significant difference for the Raptors, and the recent run of individual success may catalyze him. Over the past week, he has provided top-75 value in nine-cat formats.

Ingram may not have provided the most robust stat line, but the production he did offer was good. The Raptors forward shot 70 percent from the field and dished out five assists. However, the lack of rebounds or defensive stats while also committing four turnovers negated some of the positives for Ingram, who also dealt with some foul trouble. He’s still providing top-75 value in eight- and nine-cat formats, closing in on the top-50 in the former.

After shooting 1-of-6 from the field in the first half, Barrett really didn’t have anywhere to go but up in the second half. That’s precisely what happened, as he scored 11 points in the third quarter alone. After a solid fourth, he tied for the team lead in scoring with Brandon Ingram. Barrett has never been a great category league option, but he’s been far better this season, providing top-100 value in eight- and nine-cat formats.
