After missing a game for the first time since December 4, 2021, on Tuesday, Barnes will remain out for Thursday’s matchup with the Pistons. Carter Bryant should once again pick up rotation minutes, but there isn’t much fantasy value to be had in streaming the rookie.

Thursday’s game will be the third that Murray-Boyles has missed since aggravating his sprained left thumb. The Raptors will continue to rely on Jakob Poeltl and Sandro Mamukelashvili at the center position, with the latter’s playing time having decreased recently despite Murray-Boyles’ injury.

If there’s a positive to Ingram’s sprained thumb, it’s that the injury is on his non-shooting (left) hand. If he’s unable to play against the Timberwolves, Ja’Kobe Walter may be the player most likely to move into the starting lineup.

The rookie hasn’t played a consistent role this season, and he only took on extended minutes in this game because of the lopsided score. However, it was the third time in the past month that he hit three triples in a game, and he set a new career high for rebounds. Bryant is most known for his defense, but if he can knock down shots from deep consistently, he’ll have a bright future ahead of him.

Fresh off winning Western Conference Rookie of the Month, Harper was able to have his first 20-point outing since January and his sixth of the season. Harper hasn’t done much for fantasy managers throughout his rookie year, but he still holds plenty of upside for dynasty managers. He just turned 20 years old and will look to remain an effective option off the bench for the remainder of the season.

Wembanyama only needed to play 24 minutes in the blowout win in Philadelphia, which limited his scoring output. However, even with less time on the court, he still made a big impact on the defensive end. He has 32 blocks and nine steals since the All-Star break, which has helped make up for some subpar offensive performances. Following a five-game road trip, they’ll head home for their next six games, with the Pistons up next on Thursday.

The good news for fantasy managers was that Quickley recorded 12 assists, the second consecutive game that he’s hit double digits in that category. However, he struggled to knock down shots, shooting 3-of-10 from beyond the arc. Quickley has shot the ball well from the field since the All-Star break, making nearly 49 percent of his attempts. Tuesday’s performance wasn’t the best, but he’s been good overall in recent weeks.

Ingram had it rolling during the first half, as he scored 27 points on 9-of-13 shooting from the field. The Knicks did a far better job of defending him after halftime, limiting the slender forward to four points. Ingram’s 31 points were the most in a game for him since the Raptors’ first game out of the All-Star break, and he did finish with a complete stat line.

While Barrett had a good night shooting the basketball, he has yet to beat the Knicks since being traded to Toronto. While he’s scored at least 20 points in three of his last four outings, the lackluster production outside of points and rebounds is why Barrett is a better option in points leagues than category leagues. The Raptors play two more games in Week 19, starting with the Timberwolves on Thursday.

San Antonio’s starting guards struggled on Sunday, with Fox and Stephon Castle (13/4/4/1 with one three-pointer) shooting a combined 8-of-23 from the field. The former was responsible for six assists, so all wasn’t lost for Fox managers, but they were certainly hoping to get more out of him offensively. The seven points were the fewest in a game for him since December 23, when Fox matched his season-low with six points in a win over the Thunder. Fox and Castle will look to bounce back on Tuesday in Philadelphia.

Vassell has picked up his production recently, having scored at least 14 points in four consecutive games. He’s made at least three three-pointers in each, shooting a combined 19-of-33 from beyond the arc. Add in the rebounds and assists, and Sunday’s performance was a good one from Vassell to end Week 18. The Spurs open a four-game Week 19 on Tuesday against the 76ers.

Wemby recorded his fourth double-double in six post-break games on Sunday, but the Knicks were able to limit his dominance. While he did make seven of his ten two-point attempts, Wembanyama shot 1-of-7 from beyond the arc, sinking his overall field-goal percentage. However, with the double-double and blocked shots, fantasy managers don’t have much to complain about regarding Wemby’s final stat line. The Spurs play four games in Week 19, starting with the 76ers on Tuesday.

After coming off the bench in Wednesday’s loss to the Spurs, Poeltl was back in the starting lineup on Saturday due to Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb) not being available. And he recorded his first double-double since November 11 and the third of the season. Poeltl is still rostered in 78 percent of Yahoo! leagues, so there weren’t a lot of managers who gave up on him. That patience was rewarded on Saturday, but it’s fair to question whether this will be the norm for Poeltl the rest of the season.

Since the All-Star break, Barrett has shot 39.1 percent from the field, so a night like Saturday was needed. The Raptors’ wing had an efficient night on offense, making over 50 percent of his attempts and recording just one turnover in 33 minutes. Due to the limited production outside of points and rebounds, poor shooting affects Barrett’s fantasy value more than it would if he were a productive option across the board in category leagues. He’ll look to build on Saturday’s effort when the Raptors host the Knicks on Tuesday.

Ingram has scored at least 20 points in four of his last five appearances, as he continues to provide solid fantasy value in his first season with the Raptors. Over the past month, his production is just outside the top-50 in category leagues.

A game that, on paper, looked like it should be a blowout proved to be competitive throughout. And that was good news for those who have Quickley rostered, as he played 37 of a possible 48 minutes. After failing to record an assist in a game for the first time this season in Wednesday’s loss to the Spurs, the Raptors’ guard racked up 11 on Saturday. Quickley’s double-double was his seventh of the season and first since January 20, when he put up 40 points and 10 rebounds in a win over the Warriors. Toronto plays three games in Week 19, starting with the Knicks on Tuesday.

Foul trouble was an issue for Wemby on Thursday, but it didn’t matter much as the Spurs jumped the Nets early and never relinquished control. Given how well he played against the Knicks on New Year’s Eve, putting up 31 points and 13 rebounds before leaving with a left knee injury, it would be unsurprising if Wembanyama rebounded from Thursday’s effort in a big way when the Spurs visit MSG on Sunday.

Having grown up in Brooklyn and attended St. John’s, Champagnie put on a show for the home folks on Thursday. Shooting 6-of-9 from beyond the arc, the 26 points were one less than his total in San Antonio’s prior two games. Since moving into the starting lineup on New Year’s Eve, Champagnie has been close to a top-75 player in nine-cat formats, according to Basketball Monster. He’s still rostered in 16 percent of Yahoo! leagues, and now may be a good time for more deep-league managers to hop onto the bandwagon. After Sunday’s game against the Knicks, Champagnie and the Spurs play four games in Week 19.

Castle played 28 minutes last night in a win over the Raptors and must have come up a little sore the next day.

Barnes recorded a complete stat line on Wednesday despite suffering a right quad contusion during Toronto’s loss to the Thunder the night prior. The good news for him and those who have Barnes rostered is that the Raptors will have a little more time off, as they don’t play again until Saturday against the Wizards. And that should be a big night for him, given the Wizards’ ongoing rebuild.

Quickley provided points, rebounds and three-pointers on solid percentages, but nothing else. Wednesday’s game was the first in which the Raptors’ guard failed to record an assist, and his final line did not have any steals, either. However, even with his lean stat line against the Spurs, Quickley has still been a top-75 player over the past two weeks, according to Basketball Monster. He’ll look to do a bit more on Saturday when the Raptors visit the Wizards.

Brown had a chance to send Wednesday’s game into overtime, but his three-point attempt from the left corner in the final seconds drifted left and hit the side of the backboard. This was a disappointing end to Ingram’s night, and he’s scored at least 20 points in three of his last four appearances. While his fantasy value has slipped recently, with Ingram being an eighth-round player over the past two weeks, his season-long value remains solid. The Raptors visit the Wizards on Saturday in what should be a good matchup for Ingram.

While the Raptors were able to neutralize Wembanyama on the offensive end of the floor, the Spurs phenom still blocked five shots on the night.

While Fox had a good night shooting the basketball, the overall stat line was a bit lean. The assist tally was a season-low, a surprising development for a player who racked up seven helpers in Monday’s win over the Pistons. However, more concerning for category league managers has been Fox’s poor foul shooting. He made two of his eight attempts against the Raptors, dropping his percentage over the past two weeks to 54.5. While Fox has never been an elite foul shooter, his recent struggles have been a serious departure from the norm.
