CMB aggravated a lingering injury in Sunday’s matchup with the Pacers, and it will keep him out against Detroit. If Jakob Poeltl (back) returns, he’ll likely face a minutes restriction and share playing time with Sandro Mamukelashvili. Mamukelashvili is worth streaming on Wednesday for fantasy managers in need of big man stats.

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.

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.

Despite missing the last four games, Murray-Boyles was placed in the Raptors’ starting lineup immediately. He didn’t provide much value as a scorer, but the rookie’s rebound, assist and blocked shot numbers were good. Murray-Boyles played 28 minutes, with Sandro Mamukelashvili (9/4/1/1/3 with one three-pointer) playing 25 off the bench. Both will be worth rostering until Jakob Poeltl returns from his back injury, with Murray-Boyles offering a slightly higher ceiling in category leagues.

Murray-Boyles will return to the starting five in his first game back from a thumb injury. He’ll join the other regulars in the starting lineup to help get the Raptors off to a strong start as they look to put together a fifth straight win. The rookie is averaging 7.8 points, 5.1 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game, offering solid two-way ability on the wing.

Murray-Boyles is active for the first time since Toronto’s January 18 loss to the Lakers, which will end a four-game absence. The rookie forward has enjoyed a nice first NBA season and has carved out a consistent role on a Raptors team that is currently riding a four-game win streak. His return on Wednesday provides the the team with another versatile wing who can defend, facilitate, and put the ball in the basket on offense. He’ll more than likely come off the bench.

Murray-Boyles has missed the last four games with a thumb injury, so his inclusion on the injury report isn’t a surprise. His questionable designation for Wednesday’s game against the Heat gives him a chance to suit up. If he remains out, Sandro Mamukelashvili will continue to have a bigger role for the Raptors.

Murray-Boyles has missed Toronto’s last three games, with Sandro Mamukelashvili replacing him in the lineup for Friday’s win over the Trail Blazers. Even if Murray-Boyles can play on Sunday, Mamu is worth holding onto due to Jakob Poeltl (back) being out indefinitely.

Murray-Boyles has missed Toronto’s last two games after aggravating a left thumb injury that was initially suffered just before Christmas. Sandro Mamukelashvili started Wednesday’s win over the Kings and tallied 22 points and nine rebounds. With Portland employing a traditional center in Donovan Clingan, Mamu would likely get another start if Murray-Boyles can’t play.

CMB will miss a second straight game, and with Jakob Poeltl (back) still out, more minutes should be available for Sandro Mamukelashvili. Toronto went small on Tuesday and didn’t start a true center, but Mamu still had a productive showing off the bench. He’s worth streaming until Murray-Boyles and Poeltl return.

Murray-Boyles was initially listed as questionable on the Raptors’ injury report for Tuesday, but that may have been a mistake. The rookie’s status was upgraded to out a few minutes later, and he’ll miss at least one game with a left thumb contusion. With Jakob Poeltl (back) also out, the Raptors will lean heavily on Sandro Mamukelashvili at the center position.

CMB exited early from Sunday’s game with a thumb contusion, but he may not end up missing more time. He has been starting recently, but if CMB ends up sitting out, Sandro Mamukelashvili would get the starting nod and would be a high-priority streaming option.

The good news for Murray-Boyles and the Raptors is that X-rays on the thumb, which he aggravated during Sunday’s loss to the Lakers, came back negative. The rookie forward initially injured the thumb during a game against the Heat just before Christmas. With Jakob Poeltl (back) also out, the Raptors will have to rely on Sandro Mamukelashvili if Murray-Boyles misses time, with Jonathan Mogbo picking up rotation minutes off the bench.

Murray-Boyles, who initially injured his left thumb during a game against the Heat just before Christmas, aggravated the injury when Luka Dončić swiped down in an attempt to take the ball away from the rookie forward. Initially considered questionable to return, Murray-Boyles has since been ruled out. The Raptors will lean heavily on Sandro Mamukelashvili, with Jonathan Mogbo sliding into the back end of the rotation.

With Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic saying on Sunday that Jakob Poeltl (back) remains without a timetable for return, the starting center job belongs to Murray-Boyles for the foreseeable future. The lone complaint, if there is one, for fantasy managers is that the rookie doesn’t provide three-point production. Over the past two weeks, Murray-Boyles has been a top-50 player in eight-cat formats. Rostered in 27 percent of Yahoo! leagues, CMB is close to a must-add in 12-team formats.

Though CMB didn’t do much scoring, he was able to dominate the glass for Toronto. He set a new career high for boards, which came two days after the best performance of his young career. CMB should continue to start, at least until Jakob Poeltl returns. His production may come inconsistently, but he continues to show that he holds enough value to be worth rostering in standard leagues.

The rookie got a second straight start and ended up having the best performance of his young career. This was what Toronto envisioned when they drafted him. The combination of passing and defensive production was fantastic for both the Raptors and fantasy managers alike. Developing a shot from deep is important, but he was able to figure out ways to score in this one. Jakob Poeltl (back) is getting closer to returning, but as long as CMB is starting, he has enough upside to be worth streaming.

Murray-Boyles sat out Sunday, and his potential absence on the second leg of Toronto’s back-to-back set could allow Sandro Mamukelashvili to slide into the starting five. Newly signed Mo Bamba could earn meaningful minutes off the bench in his Toronto debut if Murray-Boyles is forced to sit this one out.

Less than an hour after it was announced that Murray-Boyles was available for Friday’s game, he has been ruled out. His absence opens up frontcourt minutes among the Raptors’ reserves, with Jonathan Mogbo likely seeing action as Sandro Mamukelashvili’s backup. There’s no need to stream Mogbo.

After being listed as questionable, Murray was upgraded to active ahead of Friday’s matchup, giving the Raptors a key rotation forward. The rookie has started four of 26 games thus far and is averaging 7.0 points and 3.8 rebounds, and is coming off of his first-career NBA double-double. With Scottie Barnes (illness) also available, Murray-Boyles will likely remain in a reserve role.

Murray-Boyles is coming off his first double-double, having accounted for 11 points and 12 rebounds in Tuesday’s win over the Heat. Along with Sandro Mamukelashvili, the rookie has played a key role off the Raptors’ bench as they account for Jakob Poeltl’s back troubles. If CMB can’t play on Friday, Jonathan Mogbo may move into the back end of the rotation after spending some time in the G Leagues.

The Raptors are once again without RJ Barrett, who is recovering from a knee injury. While Ja’Kobe Walter was the replacement in the lineup the last time out, Murray-Boyles has received the nod for Wednesday. The promotion makes him worthy of deep-league streaming consideration, while there isn’t much to gain from holding onto Walter in redraft leagues.

Murray-Boyles will miss a second straight game and has been diagnosed with a sprained right MCL. In other words, the rookie will likely be out for an extended period. Sandro Mamukelashvili played 15 minutes off the bench in Wednesday’s win over the 76ers, and that isn’t enough to make him a player worth streaming. Managers who have Murray-Boyles should wait for the Raptors to provide a recovery timeline before moving on.

Murray-Boyles has been downgraded from doubtful to out, freeing up minutes within the Raptors’ bench unit. With Jonathan Mogbo on assignment with the team’s G League affiliate, Sandro Mamukelashvili and Ochai Agbaji should absorb most of the minutes that would have gone to Murray-Boyles. With Toronto’s starters being healthy, there isn’t much to gain from streaming Mamukelashvili or Agbaji.
