TOR • Shooting Guard • #14

After scoring just nine points as a starter on Sunday, Walter returned to the bench for this game. He was able to match his season high for three-pointers, and he could be in line for more success against the Spurs on Wednesday. Scottie Barnes (quad) is questionable, and Walter started in place of Barnes on Sunday. Walter could start if Barnes ends up missing the game.

Scottie Barnes is out for personal reasons, opening up a spot within the Raptors’ starting lineup. He’ll be replaced by Walter, who is worth the streaming risk in deep leagues. The other change to the lineup is Poeltl, who returns to his usual role after coming off the bench in Thursday’s win over the Bulls. Collin Murray-Boyles will come off the bench.

Walter is back in the mix after missing Toronto’s last six games. While his availability won’t have a significant effect on fantasy basketball, there may be a few more minutes available if he isn’t under any restrictions. Immanuel Quickley (ankle) is a game-time decision, and his absence would open things up for multiple players.

Walter has missed Toronto’s last six games, freeing up additional minutes for Ochai Agbaji and Gradey Dick. With RJ Barrett returning from an ankle injury on Friday, there’s no need to stream Agbaji or Gradey if Walter remains out.

Walter will miss a sixth straight game as he recovers from a right hip pointer, leaving the Raptors down a man in their wing rotation. However, this does not affect fantasy basketball, especially if RJ Barrett (ankle) is available. Barrett, who’s missed the last seven games, is listed as questionable.

Tuesday’s game will be the fifth that Walter has missed with a right hip pointer, and it’s unknown when he’ll be able to return. With RJ Barrett (ankle) also out, more minutes will be available to Ochai Agbaji and Jamal Shead, with the former receiving the starting nod in Sunday’s loss to the Lakers.

Walter will remain out for a fourth consecutive game as he recovers from a right hip pointer. While his absence does not affect fantasy basketball, it is another blow to the Raptors’ depth, as RJ Barrett (ankle) is also out. Gradey Dick should see his playing time increase, but he is not a must-stream player.

This will be a second straight absence for Walter, who had been starting prior to this hip injury. However, with Brandon Ingram (thumb) back, Walter would only be playing a small role off the bench if he was available. A.J. Lawson should take on a few extra minutes.

Walter, who was initially left off Monday’s injury report, will sit out after suffering a right hip pointer on Sunday. In his absence, more playing time should be available for the likes of Alijah Martin, Ochai Agbaji and Gradey Dick.

Walter suffered a right hip pointer on Sunday, which forced him to leave the Raptors’ matchup with the 76ers early. The injury won’t cause him to miss additional time, and he could be in line for an expanded role with RJ Barrett (ankle) out again and Brandon Ingram (thumb) questionable.

Walter suffered a right hip pointer during the first quarter, ending his night after five minutes. Rookie Alijah Martin has already played seven minutes off the bench, making him someone to watch for the rest of Sunday’s game. His streaming value moving forward depends on the availability of Brandon Ingram and RJ Barrett, both of whom are unavailable on Sunday.

The absence of several key contributors due to injuries should lead to increased touches and creation possessions for Walter moving forward, which provides an immediate boost to his fantasy profile. The 21-year-old lacks significant scoring upside on a consistent basis, but the opportunities are there on a short-term basis with RJ Barrett (ankle), Scottie Barnes (knee), Brandon Ingram (thumb) and Jakob Poeltl (back) all dealing with injuries. He’s worthy of a speculative roster spot in deeper fantasy leagues.

The Raptors won’t have Brandon Ingram or Scottie Barnes for Friday’s game, opening up two spots in the starting lineup. The voids are being filled by Walter and Mamukelashvili, with the latter offering a higher streaming ceiling.

Walter had been starting with RJ Barrett (knee) sidelined, but he was replaced by Ochai Agbaji for this game. However, he fared much better as a reserve than Agbaji did as a starter. Walter still isn’t worth rostering in standard leagues, but he made his case to return to the starting lineup. It’s unclear if that will happen, and even if it does, Walter should be left on the waiver wire.

While Walter entered Thursday having started four of Toronto’s previous five games due to RJ Barrett’s knee injury, he hadn’t taken advantage of the opportunity. The one double-digit scoring effort in that run occurred in the game that the second-year guard did not start, and he averaged 6.6 points on 36.4 percent shooting. There were no such issues for Walter against the Lakers, as he tallied a season-high point total. One game doesn’t make Walter trustworthy in most fantasy leagues, but Thursday was a step in the right direction.

Walter was replaced in the starting lineup by Collin Murray-Boyles (zero points and one rebound in eight minutes), but the change did not have a negative impact on his playing time. Walter, who replaced CMB in the lineup to begin the third quarter, played a season-high 32 minutes. While he isn’t a must-roster player, injuries to RJ Barrett and Gradey Dick add some appeal to Walter in deep leagues, especially with one of Toronto’s final two games of Week 6 being against the struggling Hornets.

The Raptors have made two changes to the lineup that started Sunday’s win over the Nets. Walter starts for the injured RJ Barrett (knee), who is considered day-to-day. While he isn’t a must-stream player, Walter should be watched in case Barrett’s injury is more severe than currently believed. The other change is Poeltl, who did not play on Sunday for injury management reasons. Sandro Mamukelashvili will come off the bench.

Not long after Walter was announced as probable, Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic revealed that the second-year wing will play Friday night. Walter’s return from an illness that sidelined him for the opener means Gradey Dick and Ochai Agbaji may play fewer minutes after logging 24 and 20, respectively, on Wednesday.

Walter, who sat out Wednesday’s season-opening win over the Hawks, is on track to make his first appearance of the 2025-26 season. His return may result in fewer minutes for fellow reserves Gradey Dick and Ochai Agbaji, but the former scored 21 points in 24 minutes against Atlanta.

Walter missed the season opener, and there is a chance he remains sidelined for another game. Gradey Dick had 21 points in 24 minutes off the bench on Wednesday, while Ochai Agbaji played 20 minutes. Both would continue to play a large role if Walter remains out.

Walter is sick, so this likely won’t be a lengthy absence for him. Gradey Dick and Ochai Agbaji will fill out a few extra reserve minutes on the wing with Walter sidelined.

After sitting all five expected starters in Friday’s win over the Celtics, the Raptors will have Quickley, Barrett and Barnes on the court Sunday afternoon. Jakob Poeltl remains out and Brandon Ingram will miss a second straight game, resulting in starts for Walter and Mamukelashvili. While the latter is essentially guaranteed a spot in the Raptors’ regular-season rotation, Walter could use a good effort on Sunday to help separate from the pack among Toronto’s surplus of reserve wings.

Due to Toronto’s logjam on the wings, Walter’s chances of getting the playing time needed to impact fantasy basketball this season may be limited. However, he showed signs on Wednesday that he could be a player that Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic trusts with consistent bench minutes. Walter was active on both ends of the floor against the Kings, with his production being one reason the Raptors picked up the victory. Walter doesn’t qualify as a must-draft player by any stretch of the imagination in redraft leagues, but there may be times during the season when he steps up as a streamer.

The 2024 first-round pick has been solid in Summer League, but this was his best game in Vegas so far, which was enough to help Toronto move to 3-0. Not only was Walter an effective option from beyond the arc, but he was a menace on defense, falling one steal short of tying the Summer League record. Defensive improvement from Walter should help him get more minutes next season.

Walter and the Raptors were highly disruptive on defense Sunday evening, forcing 29 Magic turnovers in the three-point victory. The second-year guard recorded two steals and a blocked shot to accompany his solid scoring and rebounding production. Given Toronto’s depth on the wings heading into the 2025-26 season, Walter may need to bring more to the table defensively to ensure he gets opportunities to showcase his overall game.

Walter led the team in minutes played with 32 as well as points with 22 in Friday’s loss to the Pistons. The 20-year-old shooting guard made the most of his opportunity as the team continues to give him looks down the stretch of a lost season. Walter figures to be a part of the Raptors future plans as a rotational player at minimum.

It has been a quiet rookie season for Walter, but he has taken advantage of his opportunity recently and provided a glimmer of hope for the future. He has scored in double figures in each of his last seven appearances and has averaged 17 points, six rebounds, four assists, two steals and four triples over Toronto’s last two games. He’ll continue to play a significant role for the rest of the season, and while it won’t guarantee him a starting job next season, he could be a solid rotation piece for them in year two.

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.

The Raptors will have four new starters for Wednesday’s game, with Barnes being the lone holdover. For availability reasons, Shead, Walter and Robinson are worth streaming, while Barrett is already rostered in most fantasy leagues.

Walter is available for the first time since straining his quad during a March 7 win over the Jazz. While the rookie may not take on a heavy workload in his first game back, there will be opportunities for Walter to provide value before the fantasy season concludes.
