Jackson-Davis made the most of his debut appearance for the Raptors, recording a double-double. While 16 minutes aren’t a big deal for most players, TJD met or exceeded that number just 14 times with the Warriors this season before being traded. The issue moving forward is that the Raptors were shorthanded on Sunday: Jakob Poeltl (back) was out, and Collin Murray-Boyles left the game in the first half with a thumb injury. While Jackson-Davis played well, fantasy managers should not overreact.

Back in the lineup after sitting out Thursday’s win over the Bulls, Barrett had a good afternoon against the Pacers. All that was missing from his stat line was a blocked shot. Unfortunately, Barrett’s fantasy value has tailed off after a hot start to the season. But, in fairness to him, there may have been too much expected of Barrett in terms of fantasy value. While days like Sunday are certainly possible, Carter is a better option in points leagues than category leagues.

With Jakob Poeltl (back) still out and Collin Murray-Boyles exiting before halftime after aggravating his left thumb injury, the Raptors needed a bit more from Mamukelashvili on Sunday. As has been the case multiple times this season, Mamu stepped up, and he’s scored at least 14 points in four consecutive games. Poeltl is getting closer to a return, but it’s challenging to envision a scenario in which Mamukelashvili falls off the radar entirely. He’s played that well in his first season in Toronto.

The Raptors grabbed control of Sunday’s game with a dominant third quarter, and Barnes led the way. The All-Star forward shot 8-of-9 from the field in the period, doing most of his damage in the restricted area. Barnes finished with a robust stat line, giving fantasy managers a welcome boost to end Week 16. The Raptors, who only play three games in Week 17, are off until Wednesday night against the Pistons.

Murray-Boyles had been playing through a left thumb injury when he aggravated it during the first half of Sunday’s game. His early exit means that the Raptors will rely more on Sandro Mamukelashvili, with Trayce Jackson-Davis providing added depth in his first appearance for the team. Ja’Kobe Walter started the third quarter as the Raptors went without a center.

Poeltl has been out since December, and that won’t change on Sunday. However, the past few days have been spent getting his conditioning up to par rather than rehabbing his lower back, which is a positive. Collin Murray-Boyles and Sandro Mamukelashvili will again play most of the available minutes, and Trayce Jackson-Davis is available to make his Raptors debut.

While other players on the Jazz are being removed after three quarters, Collier continues to play lots of minutes for Utah. The 21-year-old point guard has now played at least 30 minutes in four consecutive games, a timeline that overlaps with Keyonte George’s right ankle sprain. Until there’s concrete news that George is coming back, Collier should be rostered in all formats. In the last four games, he’s averaging 20.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 13.3 assists and 2.7 steals.

Jackson and most of the starters curiously played 25 minutes or less. The Jazz led by seven entering the fourth quarter before sidelining the 26-year-old power forward and other veterans, which ultimately led to the three-point loss. Jackson’s fantasy upside will be limited if this kind of game management continues. While he played well when he was on the court, fantasy managers have to consider it a discouraging debut.

George missed the last three games with a right ankle sprain, only to return Saturday and re-aggravate the injury in the first half of the game against the Magic.

Jackson is set to start in his Jazz debut against the Magic on Saturday. At the same time, George is returning from a three-game absence due to an ankle injury.

Poeltl, who has not appeared in a game since December, has been plagued by a lower back injury since training camp. With the 7-footer going through practice on Saturday, there’s a chance that he plays on Sunday against the Pacers. Given the time that Poeltl has missed, conditioning is a concern. While his return would mean fewer minutes for Collin Murray-Boyles and Sandro Mamukelashvili, Poeltl is unlikely to take on a full workload immediately.

After missing Utah’s last two games, Love is on track to be available for Saturday’s game. However, with Jaren Jackson Jr., Kyle Filipowski and Jusuf Nurkić available, there may not be enough minutes for Love to affect fantasy basketball.

Initially questionable for Saturday’s game, George is on track to be available after a three-game absence. While the Jazz have held Jusuf Nurkić out of games recently, even though he was listed as available, that should not be an issue for George. That said, fantasy managers need to ensure that he’s in the starting lineup before locking the point guard into their lineups. George’s return would push Isaiah Collier to the bench.

Playing in his home state of Georgia for the first time as an NBA player, Bailey put up 20 points and a complete stat line. While the shooting efficiency was lacking, his getting up 26 shots and logging 40 minutes may be a sign of what’s to come if the Jazz shut down their vets later this season. For those who can afford to take a hit in the field-goal percentage category, Bailey is worth picking up. The Jazz end Week 16 on Saturday against the Jazz.

While teammate Isaiah Collier played all 48 minutes, Markkanen didn’t even play half that. The Jazz forward logged 23 minutes in Atlanta, and that’s one of the concerns for fantasy managers who have him rostered. The good news is that Markkanen actually played, unlike Jusuf Nurkić, who was active. Hopefully, for the sake of those who have Lauri rostered, the Jazz will rule him out when he isn’t playing, rather than resorting to the Nurkić-related shenanigans of the last two games.

One game removed from dishing out a career-high 22 assists, Collier recorded his second consecutive points/assists double-double. Add in the rebounds and steals, and this was another excellent night for the second-year guard. Collier’s fantasy ceiling for the rest of the season depends on how much Utah plays Keyonte George, but he’s worth picking up if sitting on the waiver wire.

All that was missing from Murray-Boyles’ stat line on Thursday was a three-pointer, and that isn’t a category where he usually provides value. The rookie forward/center did appear to tweak his left thumb during the victory, but he remained in the game. Afterward, Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic said that the protective wrap will stay on Murray-Boyles’ left thumb for another five weeks. The only concern for fantasy managers is what happens when Jakob Poeltl (back) returns, as he could be back before the All-Star break. CMB and Sandro Mamukelasvhili (17/5/1/3/1 with four three-pointers) will continue to have added fantasy value until that time comes.

More importantly, Ingram has appeared in 51 of the Raptors’ 53 games thus far. He’s stayed healthy in his first season in Toronto, much to the delight of fantasy managers.

The 57th overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, Jackson-Davis’ playing time decreased in each of his three seasons with the Warriors. He was essentially passed in the rotation by Quinten Post, a second-round pick in the 2024 draft. Jackson-Davis appeared in 36 games this season, averaging 4.2 points and 3.1 rebounds in 11.1 minutes. This transaction is unlikely to affect fantasy basketball, as the Raptors added a frontcourt player in last summer’s draft lottery (Collin Murray-Boyles) and in free agency (Sandro Mamukelashvili). Add in Jakob Poeltl, provided his lower back issues subside, and Jackson-Davis may struggle to carve out a role for himself in Toronto.

For Cleveland, this trade is about freeing up salary cap space. And with the team acquiring James Harden, Keon Ellis and Dennis Schröder this week, there was not going to be room for Ball in the rotation.

Collier was in the Jazz starting lineup for Tuesday’s game, as Keyonte George was ruled out. The second-year guard took advantage of his opportunity, racking up a career-high 22 assists while committing just two turnovers. Collier doesn’t offer the best value as a scorer, but managers looking for assists and steals should consider him for the “silly season.” And with Utah trading Walter Clayton Jr. on Tuesday as part of the Jaren Jackson Jr. deal, playing time should not be a concern for Collier after the All-Star break.

Even with the Jazz adding Jaren Jackson Jr. via trade, the clear focus for the rest of the season is to do what they can to hold onto their top-8 protected lottery pick.
