Rhoden missed Sunday’s game with a hand injury and could miss a second-straight game on Tuesday. However, since dropping a career-best 25 points on March 12, Rhoden hasn’t appeared in a game for the Raptors, though he has spent time in the G League. Unfortunately, his status for Tuesday’s game will continue to not impact their rotation.

Toronto will continue to alternate rest days, and IQ and Poeltl will be back after sitting out on Sunday. Their returns will push Jamal Shead and Orlando Robinson back to the bench. They’ll be resting RJ Barrett and Ochai Agbaji for this game, so there will still be minutes off the bench for Shead and Robinson, though their upside will be limited in comparison to Sunday’s game.

Walter finished behind RJ Barrett (31) for team lead in the scoring department, and he led Toronto in rebounding. Best of all, Walter racked up some big defensive totals and shot efficiently from the floor. Expect him to continue playing big minutes down the final stretch of the season.

Barrett scored at least 30 points eight times before Sunday, and each of them came prior to the new year. The scoring total was his highest since December 16. Fantasy managers shouldn’t expect totals like this every night, especially while the Raptors rest Barrett nearly every other game.

The Wizards continue to limit Poole’s minutes. In a game Washington lost by just three points, the 25-year-old shooting guard played only 21 minutes. It was his seventh game in a row with less than 30 minutes played. This has become a nightmare for fantasy managers and not one they’re likely to wake up from before this season is over.

Johnson made a spot start for the injured Khris Middleton. Fantasy managers that used the 20-year-old shooting guard as a streamer in deeper formats have to be pleased with his effort. Johnson had 20 points on 14 shots including three made three-pointers. He played a team-high 42 minutes. It’s unclear if Johnson will have staying power as it depends on how Middleton recovers from his injury.

Poeltl led all scorers, and he reached that mark on an efficient 12-of-14 shooting. The 24 points are his most since he scored 25 on January 3, though the big man has dropped at least 20 points in three of his last six. Over the Raptors’ last 12 games, Poeltl has alternated between playing and resting, and Toronto is expected to keep going with that song and dance to close out the 2024-25 campaign. The Raptors face the 76ers on Sunday, and we wouldn’t expect Poeltl to play in that one.

Poole played just 25 minutes again Thursday. It was his sixth-straight game with less than 30 minutes and fourth in that span with 25 minutes or less. While the Wizards clearly aren’t pushing Poole for heavy minutes at this point in the season, they at least had good reason for his usage on Thursday as they were party to a massive blowout. Poole had a pretty good game considering the Wizards lost by 53 points. Unfortunately for Poole, it doesn’t seem like his minutes will trend back up in what’s left of the season.

Sarr has scored at least 22 points with at least seven rebounds, at least one block and at least one steal in each of his last two games. While the Wizards are looking towards the future, Sarr is making a statement that he’s going to be a big part of it. The 19-year-old center has been just outside the top-100 in fantasy value since the All-Star break as his play has picked of late.

Barrett has only been available for three of the Raptors’ last eight games. So, while he has reached double figures in all but one game he’s appeared in this season, the availability has done fantasy managers no favors. And with the Raptors essentially playing out the string, that may remain an issue between now and the end of the season. Barrett shouldn’t be dropped in standard leagues, but shallow-league managers should watch for alternatives.

Barnes had a tough night shooting-wise, but he has connected on 47 percent of his shots over the past two weeks. That has been an encouraging development for a player shooting 44.5 percent for the season. Something that may be helping is the decrease in three-point attempts. Barnes has been averaging three attempts per game since the All-Star break, a drop of nearly two attempts per game compared to his three-point frequency before. He isn’t a good perimeter shooter, and taking fewer shots from that range may boost his overall numbers.

While Robinson did not play starters’ minutes despite being in the starting lineup, he made the most of his opportunity. The 23 points were two shy of his season-high, and Robinson finished with his fourth double-double. However, he entered Wednesday having scored 19 points in his prior three games. This performance was a departure from the norm for Robinson, who’s ranked outside the top 200 over the past two weeks. That said, the Raptors finish Week 21 with two games against teams also headed to the draft lottery in Charlotte and Philadelphia. If the Raptors continue resting Jakob Poeltl, Robinson will be worth a dice roll.

While serving as the backup to a rookie lottery pick isn’t the best place for a two-way contract player to be on the depth chart, Vukcevic has taken advantage of his opportunities. Over the past two weeks, he has offered eighth-round value in eight-cat formats. Vukcevic is rostered in 12 percent of Yahoo! leagues, and deep-league managers needing a center should consider adding him. In addition to playing two more games during Week 21, Vukcevic and the Wizards are scheduled to play four during Week 22.

He was also able to score in double figures after scoring a total of 15 points over his last four games.

Just three days after scoring a career-high 14 points, Johnson broke that mark again and had arguably the best performance of his young career. It took a few weeks for Johnson to start seeing minutes for Washington, but he has now played at least 15 minutes in seven games. He has had at least three assists in all of those.

Toronto came away with a win, though limiting the minutes of Quickley, Jakob Poeltl and Scottie Barnes was a clear move that they weren’t interested in that happening.
