As expected, Battle will miss a second straight game. He hasn’t played a large role this year, so his minutes will likely be divided up between Sandro Mamukelashvili and Collin Murray-Boyles off the bench.

Battle did not play in Sunday’s loss to the Celtics and appears likely to remain out for Tuesday’s NBA Cup quarterfinal. His absence does not directly impact fantasy basketball, but it will mean that the Raptors rely even more on Sandro Mamukelashvili and Collin Murray-Boyles off the bench.

Injured during Friday’s loss to the Hornets, Battle was initially doubtful for Sunday’s game. While his absence does not affect fantasy basketball, it should result in more playing time for players already in the rotation such as Sandro Mamukelashvili and Collin Murray-Boyles.

The injury happened when Battle landed on the foot of a Hornets player after contesting a shot in the early stages of the fourth quarter on Friday. He was replaced in the lineup by Jakob Poeltl before being ruled out. Battle’s next chance to take the floor will be on Sunday when the Raptors face the Celtics.

While Battle is available, Ochai Agbaji (back) has been downgraded to doubtful. As a result, there may be some rotation minutes available, but not enough for Battle to impact fantasy basketball.

Battle did not play in Saturday’s win over the Pacers, and his absence does not impact fantasy basketball since rotation minutes aren’t guaranteed for the second-year forward. More impactful is the status of Ochai Agbaji (back), who’s also questionable for Monday’s game.

Due to a right knee contusion, Battle is a late addition to the Raptors’ injury report. His availability does not impact fantasy basketball, as the second-year forward is not guaranteed rotation minutes when the Raptors are close to full strength.

The undrafted rookie wrapped up his first season in the NBA on a high note. Battle set new career highs for both points and three-pointers and became the 48th rookie in league history to hit seven triples in one game. He is the fourth rookie this season to reach that mark, with Bub Carrington, Dalton Knecht and Jaylen Wells also doing it. Battle has played well as part of Toronto’s rotation over the past month, but there likely won’t be minutes for him with the Raptors to start next season.

Quickley and Poeltl are back after sitting out Sunday’s win over the 76ers, which pushes Jamal Shead and Orlando Robinson to the bench. The other change is Battle, who will start for the absent RJ Barrett (rest). Battle is only worth a look in extremely deep leagues.

Battle aggravated a nasal injury he suffered in late February during the first half of Monday’s game and is done for the night. He played 12 minutes off the bench and finished with five points, three rebounds and one three-pointer. Battle’s absence will not impact fantasy basketball, but it will likely mean more playing time for Jared Rhoden and AJ Lawson.

Both players have been sidelined for a little while now, but they will be available to play against Utah. Toronto has been trying to improve their lottery odds, so it wouldn’t be shocking if Temple and Battle were finally part of the rotation. However, that isn’t enough of a reason to consider streaming them.
