With Jakob Poeltl (4/3/1/1) struggling in his 19 minutes, especially defensively, and Collin Murray-Boyles unavailable, Mamukelashvili’s playing time increased on Friday. The Raptors’ forward/center logged 25 minutes off the bench and led the team in scoring. Add in the rebounds and assists, and this was a productive night at the office for Mamu. With Friday’s defeat, the Raptors will have work to do on Sunday to secure a top-6 seed in the East and avoid the Play-In Tournament.

Mamukelashvili was upgraded to probable Tuesday evening, so his availability isn’t much of a surprise. The 26-year-old power forward is more of a deep league option with Collin Murray-Boyles and Jakob Poeltl also available.

Mamukelashvili is likely to be available now that he’s been upgraded to probable for Tuesday’s game against the Heat. His fantasy value would increase if Collin Murray-Boyles (quad) was ruled out, but he’s also been upgraded to probable status.

Mamu has played a large role off the bench lately, and with Collin Murray-Boyles (quad) questionable as well, there could be a ton of open minutes. Jonathan Mogbo should play a significant role if the aforementioned questionable forwards are sidelined.

With Collin Murray-Boyles (back) being ruled out after initially being declared available for Sunday’s game, there was a little more room for Mamukelashvili to provide value off the bench. He was one of many Raptors to have a good night in the 139-87 victory, with eight Raptors scoring in double figures. Category league managers still rostering Mamukelashivili will also be pleased with the three steals, and he’s up to nine in his last four games.

Collin Murray-Boyles exited this game early due to back spasms, which allowed Mamu to take on extra minutes off the bench. He has had an excellent three-game stretch, averaging 18.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 3.0 triples per game while shooting 60 percent from the floor. Mamu has been on fire, and if CMB misses time, he may play enough to make a big impact as a streaming option.

With Jakob Poeltl (back) unavailable and Collin Murray-Boyles under a minutes limit in his return from a thumb injury, Mamukelashvili started and logged 32 minutes on Monday. And he was excellent. Recording his seventh 20-point line of the season, the 23 points were one shy of Mamu’s season-high. He was also responsible for a career-high five steals, giving fantasy managers a welcome bonus in that category.

The Raptors won’t have Jakob Poeltl (illness) for Tuesday’s game, as he joins the injured Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb) on the sidelines. As a result, Mamukelashvili moves into the starting lineup and should be streamed wherever he’s available.

The Raptors’ bench, Mamukelashvili included, has struggled since the All-Star break. While his stat lines over the past two games have not been elite, Mamu reaching double figures in both is a step in the right direction. With Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb) ruled out for Toronto’s first two games of Week 20, Mamukelashvili will continue to serve as Jakob Poeltl’s primary backup.

Mamukelashvili will suit up for Thursday’s contest despite previously being questionable with a rib injury. The veteran forward remains a key piece to Toronto’s bench, bringing rebounding and efficient inside-out scoring to the frontcourt. He doesn’t have high upside as far as fantasy production goes, but he should be able to put up decent production in his minutes.

Mamukelashvili has dealing with a right rib contusion, casting some doubt on his availability for Thursday’s game. With Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb) on track to return, and Jakob Poeltl and Trayce Jackson-Davis being available, the Raptors will have the bodies needed to account for Mamu’s absence if he can’t play.

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.

Mamukelashvili came up big for the Raptors in Friday’s win. He led the team in scoring, thanks largely to his production and efficiency from the three-point line, impacted the game with his passing, and did decent work on the glass during his 35 minutes of gameplay. The fifth-year frontcourt player is enjoying a nice stretch of basketball — he’s scored at least 20 points in back-to-back games and is posting a 19.5/8.3/3.5 line over the last four games.

While Jakob Poeltl (back) and Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb) being out for Tuesday’s win over the Warriors did not result in Mamukelashvili starting then, he was in the lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Kings. And Mamu came through with one of his best games of the season, with the 22 points being two shy of his season-high. Add in the rebounds and assists, and Mamu provided a reminder why he should be rostered in deep leagues. With Poeltl having returned to Toronto to get his back examined, Murray-Boyles is considered to be day-to-day. If he remains out, Mamukelashvili will be worth picking up for Friday’s game in Portland.

Unlike the Warriors, who the Raptors beat on Tuesday, the Kings start two legitimate interior players in Precious Achiuwa and Maxime Raynaud. To account for this, Mamuekelashvili is in the starting lineup, with Gradey Dick heading to the bench. Even if he were to be used in a reserve role, Mamu is a far better fantasy option than Gradey.

The Raptors have decimated by injuries recently, and the frontcourt is a significant concern. Already playing without Jakob Poeltl (back), Toronto lost Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb) during the third quarter of Sunday’s game. That put even more on Mamukelashvili’s shoulders, and he finished with a solid stat line. There’s hope that Poeltl returns during Toronto’s road trip, but if he and Murray-Boyles aren’t available, Mamu will be worth the streaming risk.

Mamukelashvili missed Toronto’s most recent game against Indiana due to an illness. His questionable label is encouraging for the Raptors, who will face a red-hot Clippers team on Friday that has won four games in a row and 11 of the last 13. Mamukelashvili is averaging 10.3 points and 4.9 rebounds in 21.4 minutes per game.

The Raptors will have a depleted rotation for Wednesday’s game, with Mamukelashvili among the players unavailable due to injury or illness. Collin Murray-Boyles, who was already playing well enough to merit being added in standard leagues, will take on an even more prominent role. Jonathan Mogbo should play rotation minutes, but he is not worth streaming.

Mamukelashvili drew the starting assignment in this one with center Jakob Poeltl (back) missing his second straight game due to a lower back injury. The 26-year-old big man took full advantage of his opportunity, knocking down a season-high six three-pointers to finish with a team-high 24 points on just 13 shots. He offers enough scoring upside to emerge as a relevant fantasy option in deeper leagues if Poeltl winds up requiring an extended absence.

Jakob Poeltl (back) will miss a second straight game due to a lower back injury that first became problematic during the preseason. Mamukelashvili, who scored 18 points in Thursday’s win over the Bucks, will fill the void. He’s worth streaming in deep leagues when allowed to start.

Jakob Poeltl’s lower back has been an issue throughout the season, and it kept him out of Thursday’s game. As a result, Mamukelashvili made his third start and had one of his best outings of the season. The 18 points were the most in a game for him since November 21, when Mamu dropped a season-high 23 on the Wizards. With Toronto ending its week with a Saturday/Sunday back-to-back, there may be at least one more start in the cards for Mamukelashvili, if not two.

Due to lower back injury management, starting center Jakob Poeltl will not play on Thursday. He’s been replaced in the lineup by Mamukelashvili, who is worth rostering in deep leagues even when Poeltl is available. Collin Murray-Boyles will also have added fantasy value, but Mamu is the preferred option.

Mamukelashvili endured some struggles finishing around the basket during the first half, but that did not prevent him from having his most productive outing of the season. He recorded his first 20-point game of the season and provided solid value in the rebound category. With Collin Murray-Boyles (knee) out, there’s even more room for Mamukelashvili to have an impact. He hasn’t reached the point where he needs to be rostered in deep leagues, but keep an eye on Mamu.

After missing Toronto’s last game with a neck injury, Mamu was able to make a big impact in their win in Cleveland. Collin Murray-Boyles (illness) was sidelined, which opened the door for Mamu to play a larger role. He took advantage and scored in double figures for the fourth straight game. Mamu isn’t worth rostering at this point, but if he gets the chance to start in the future when Jakob Poeltl misses time, he’ll hold some streaming value.
