Barnes had a rough night at the office scoring-wise, as he shot 1-of-6 from three-point range. Category league managers can take solace in the rebounds, assists and steals. But this was a disappointing effort for someone who has ranked among the most valuable players in fantasy basketball this season, regardless of format.

Playing in New Orleans for the first time since being traded to the Raptors, Ingram received a deserved ovation at the conclusion of his tribute video on Wednesday. While productive, he was unable to do enough to keep the Raptors from losing both games of their quick road trip. After scoring 14, 11 and nine points in his last three appearances, Ingram got back on track in New Orleans. That’s good news for fantasy managers, as the Pelicans return home for their final two games of Week 20.

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.

After totaling 18 points and 14 rebounds in the Raptors’ first two games of Week 19, Poeltl finished the week with one of his best efforts since the All-Star break. The 7-footer has reached double figures in points three times since the break, with Sunday’s double-double being his second. Also of note: Poeltl played 30 minutes, and he’s logged 29 or more in three straight games for the first time this season. As long as his back doesn’t flare up, he can provide solid fantasy value in points, rebounds and field-goal percentage.

In addition to shooting 50 percent from the field, the All-Satr forward committed just one turnover in 35 minutes.
