Hansen made his first career start against the Grizzlies on Sunday with Donovan Clingan and Robert Williams sidelined. Clingan has already been ruled out for Thursday while Williams, who is questionable with an illness, should return. It’s likely Wlliams will start over Hansen, but he should still play significant minutes off the bench.

Williams missed Saturday’s game with an illness, but despite his questionable listing seems on track to play in Thursday’s game against the Pelicans. The 28-year-old center returned to a full practice on Tuesday. With Williams back, Yang Hansen will likely move to the bench and Duop Reath will see fewer minutes.

Clingan is set to miss his third game in a row with a leg injury. This isn’t much of a surprise as the 21-year-old center wasn’t able to fully participate in Tuesday’s practice. With Clingan out again, expect Robert Williams to start.

Ingram starred for Toronto, but it wasn’t enough to get the win. This was his second straight 30-point game and his third of the season. Ingram has bounced back after a disappointing 2024-25 campaign in which he only played 18 games. His tenure in New Orleans was limited by injuries, but his start as a Raptor has them in the playoff race. He’ll remain an offensive star for them, which will continue to lead to strong fantasy contributions.

Walter had been starting with RJ Barrett (knee) sidelined, but he was replaced by Ochai Agbaji for this game. However, he fared much better as a reserve than Agbaji did as a starter. Walter still isn’t worth rostering in standard leagues, but he made his case to return to the starting lineup. It’s unclear if that will happen, and even if it does, Walter should be left on the waiver wire.

With Immanuel Quickley (illness) sidelined, Shead got the starting nod for the first time this season. In the increased opportunity, Shead was able to set a new season high for scoring and reached eight assists for the fifth time this season. Shead is more than capable of making an impact in fantasy basketball when he gets the chance to start, but it is unlikely that Quickley remains sidelined until Monday’s game against the Heat.

Shead will start for the first time this season in place of Immanuel Quickley, who is sidelined with an illness. Agbaji, who scored a season-high 11 points off the bench on Sunday, will replace Ja’Kobe Walter in the starting lineup. Walter had been starting in place of RJ Barrett, so Agbaji could maintain that role moving forward.

It appears all three Trail Blazers are still a ways away from returning to the floor. Scoot has yet to suit up this season, while Holiday has been out almost a month and Thybulle hasn’t played since October. Portland has made it work without Scoot and Jrue by starting Sidy Cissoko and putting the ball in Deni Avdija’s hands, though the return of either would help this rotation tremendously.

Williams missed Sunday’s game with an illness, but he was able to practice in full.

Quickley is a late addition to Tuesday’s injury report, but he played through the illness on Sunday and logged 30 minutes.

Shead, who played 22 minutes off the bench in Sunday’s loss to the Celtics, is dealing with a quad contusion. While Shead’s availability won’t impact Immanuel Quickley’s status as the starting point guard, the Raptors may need to look to Scottie Barnes to handle more playmaking responsibilities when Quickley is not in the game. Also, Ja’Kobe Walter may see his minutes increase if Shead can’t play. He logged 12 minutes on Sunday despite once again replacing RJ Barrett in the starting lineup.

Barrett will miss at least at least two more games, including Tuesday’s NBA Cup matchup with Miami. Barrett has been progressing and received a PRP injection to help his knee.

Grant was one of the few bright spots for the Trail Blazers in this one as he still managed to eclipse the 20-point threshold despite shooting just 31 percent from the floor, including 2-of-8 from three-point range. He did most of his damage at the charity stripe, knocking down 9-of-10 from the line. The 31-year-old forward has been hot of late, averaging 21.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.0 blocks over his last four games. Portland has a light two-game week on tap with matchups against the Pelicans and Warriors.

Avdija has been excellent over the past two weeks, averaging 27.7 points, 8.7 rebounds, 8.3 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.4 blocks over a seven-game span during that timeframe, delivering fourth-round fantasy value in the process. The 24-year-old got to the line just three times in this one after recording double-digit free throw attempts in each of his previous five games. Despite his recent hot streak, Portland has lost five of its last six and 10 of their last 13 overall.

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.

The Trail Blazers are without their top two centers for Sunday’s game, as Donovan Clingan (leg) and Robert Williams (illness) are inactive. As a result, Yang will make his first start as an NBA player. While the opportunity is a good one for the rookie, matching up with Zach Edey will not be easy. The other four starters are unchanged.

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.

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.

He took advantage of Kris Murray’s absence, and Wednesday’s performance could be another step towards showing franchise decision-makers that he’s worthy of a standard contract.

While Sharpe once again came off the bench, the fact that he was able to play both games of Portland’s first back-to-back since missing four games due to injury was encouraging.

Sidy Cissoko, who has been the starter, played well in Cleveland, finishing with 11 points, four rebounds, one assist and one three-pointer in 25 minutes.
