Murray-Boyles provided another big lift for the Raptors off the bench on Sunday. On the heels of a 22-point, eight-rebound effort in Game 3, he once again battled on the glass and showcased his motor, leading to his first double-double of the postseason. The rookie forward has scored in double figures in all four games against the Cavs in this series and has become more productive on the glass each game. He should remain a big part of the rotation moving forward.

Murray-Boyles tallied more points on Thursday than the rest of Toronto’s bench combined. He shot the ball with great efficiency inside the arc, leading to the third-highest scoring mark on the team. The rookie also dominated the offensive glass and showcased his high motor. Given his production in the win, he likely earned a chance to play a big role again in Game 4.

Effective in 20 minutes in Game 1, Murray-Boyles played 26 minutes in Game 2. And the rookie replaced Jakob Poeltl (two points, four rebounds and one assist) in the lineup to begin the third quarter, with the veteran center not playing at all after halftime. While there is a need for Poeltl’s size, he was ineffective in Toronto’s first two games. We should see a lot more of Murray-Boyles and Sandro Mamukelashvili (12/10/2/1 with one three-pointer) in Thursday’s Game 3 as the Raptors look to avoid falling into a 0-3 hole.

CMB is dealing with a neck strain, while TJD is still recovering from an illness. Jakob Poeltl is not on Toronto’s injury report, so he should handle the majority of frontcourt minutes, with Sandro Mamukelashvili backing him up.

Murray-Boyles had an excellent night against the Heat, not missing a shot from the field or the foul line. Add in the rebounds and defensive stats, and it’s easy to see why the rookie is a valuable player to those competing in dynasty leagues. Injuries limited Murray-Boyles’ impact as a rookie, but fantasy managers should be excited about his potential if he stays healthy in 2026-27.

Murray-Boyles was upgraded to probable status Tuesday evening, so his availability isn’t much of a surprise. The 20-year-old power forward will have his usual reserve role behind Jakob Poeltl.

Murray-Boyles was upgraded to probable and is now likely to play against the Heat on Tuesday. The 20-year-old power forward should continue in the reserve role he’s had all season.

CMB has been playing a consistent reserve role for Toronto. If he is unavailable, Sandro Mamukelashvili should see a bump in minutes, though he is questionable as well. Jonathan Mogbo could play a massive role if both CMB and Mamu are sidelined.

The bulk of Murray-Boyles’ production came in the second half of Friday’s game, when he scored 12 points on 4-of-5 shooting. The rookie failed to make a three-pointer for the sixth consecutive game, but still found a way to score over 15 points for the second game in a row. He also provided some assistance on the boards, but didn’t overwhelm there. Overall, Murray Boyles logged another strong performance down the stretch of his rookie season. He’ll have an opportunity for a repeat performance on Sunday against Boston.

While his final stat line was limited, Murray-Boyles put up 20 points in 18 minutes on Wednesday. Also, the Raptors’ rookie started the third quarter in place of Jakob Poeltl, who suffered a cut over his right eye during the first half. Poeltl still played 28 minutes, finishing with 18 points, five rebounds, one assist and two steals. Murray-Boyles’ playing time is unlikely to change much this season, but he is certainly someone to watch in 2026-27.

Murray-Boyles was a late scratch for Sunday’s win over the Magic, but is set to return Tuesday against the Pistons. He’ll take his spot back from Sandro Mamukelashvili as Jakob Poeltl’s top backup.

Initially declared available for Sunday’s win over the Magic, Murray-Boyles was ruled out shortly before tipoff. His absence led to fellow reserve Sandro Mamukelashvili picking up a few more minutes off the bench. Mamu is worth rostering in deep leagues, regardless of Murray-Boyles’ availability.

Murray-Boyles, who was limited to 12 minutes in Friday’s win over the Pelicans with a back injury, is good to go. His minutes affect those of fellow reserve Sandro Mamukelashvili, who served as Jakob Poeltl’s primary backup when CMB was out with a thumb injury.

While Jackson-Davis was not available for Friday’s win over the Pelicans, Murray-Boyles played 12 minutes before leaving with a back injury. The latter’s availability is far more impactful on fantasy basketball, as Sandro Mamukelashvili’s playing time tends to receive a slight bump when CMB is out. Jackson-Davis has rarely been in the Raptors’ rotation since he was acquired from the Warriors.

Back in the Raptors’ rotation for the first time since February 25 because of a sprained thumb, Murray-Boyles showed why he has the potential to be a highly valuable fantasy option in the future. The rookie forward/center recorded a career-high five blocks and threw in a steal for good measure, and he needed just 17 minutes to do so. Toronto did not have Jakob Poeltl for Monday’s game, making it a little easier to fit Murray-Boyles into the rotation in his first game back.
