Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. After playing 33 minutes in Tuesday's loss to the visiting Indiana Pacers, Barrett will get the night off on the second half of Toronto's back-to-back. The 23-year-old Canadian swingman should be able to return for Friday's contest against the Miami Heat. The short-handed 25-54 Raptors could turn to Jordan Nwora and Jalen McDaniels for additional minutes in their starting lineup on Wednesday, but it's difficult to pinpoint a clear beneficiary of Barrett's absence for DFS purposes. The sharpshooting Gary Trent Jr. (back) should lead the offense if available, averaging 21.9 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.8 steals, and 3.1 three-pointers over his last 14 games.

Toronto Raptors guard RJ Barrett (rest) is expected to return to the court ahead of Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Both Barrett and forward Kelly Olynyk (rest) both sat out of Wednesday's game. Fantasy managers shouldn't be too concerned as it appeared to be a routine rest day. The return of these players should mean decreased roles for Garrett Temple, Jalen McDaniels and Malik Williams.

Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (rest) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The 23-52 Raptors will give Barrett the second night of their back-to-back off after the Canadian swingman scored 28 points in 26 minutes during his return from a nine-game absence to mourn the passing of his younger brother. Fantasy managers can expect Barrett back for Friday's tilt against the Milwaukee Bucks. One of Garrett Temple and Jordan Nwora should jump into Toronto's first unit with Bruce Brown (knee) doubtful on Wednesday, but neither are recommended pickups in the championship round against a vaunted Minnesota defense that features the best defensive efficiency rating (106.0) in the Association.

Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (conditioning) and forward RJ Barrett (conditioning) are both available with minutes restrictions for Tuesday's tilt versus the Los Angeles Lakers. After multi-game absences due to personal reasons, Quickley and Barrett have worked their way back to Toronto's lineup. Quickley will end a six-game absence, while Barrett will return following eight games away from the Raptors. The former New York Knicks will enhance season-long fantasy rosters in the championship round, with Quickley averaging 20.3 points, 8.0 assists, 5.8 rebounds, 1.2 steals, and 3.1 three-pointers across 12 post-All-Star break games, and Barrett averaging 21.5 points, 5.1 dimes, 4.6 boards, and 2.1 treys on 53.1% shooting from deep since the break. IQ has the more favorable matchup of the two, as LA is surrendering the third-most FanDuel points to opposing point guards.

Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (conditioning) and forward RJ Barrett (conditioning) are both probable for Tuesday's contest versus the Los Angeles Lakers. Following multi-game absences due to personal reasons, Quickley and Barrett have been ramping up and seem to have worked their way back in terms of conditioning. IQ has missed six straight, while Barrett has been out for eight in a row. The former New York Knicks will bolster fantasy rosters contending for championships upon their returns, with Quickley averaging 20.3 points, 8.0 assists, 5.8 rebounds, 1.2 steals, and 3.1 threes across 12 post-All-Star break games, and Barrett averaging 21.5 points, 5.1 dimes, 4.6 boards, and 2.1 treys on 53.1% shooting from deep through this period. Quickley has the better matchup of the two, as LA is giving up the third-most FanDuel points to opposing point guards.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett (conditioning) won't return to the lineup on Sunday against Philadelphia. Barrett has rejoined the team after missing time due to his brother's death, but he will remain absent for a ninth straight game on Sunday, as the team has downgraded him from questionable to out. Barrett's absence has given Toronto an opportunity to start developing Gradey Dick with a bigger workload. He's in line to make an 11th straight start on Sunday. Dick is averaging 12.5 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 2.0 assists in the first unit.

Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (personal) is questionable for Sunday's game against the visiting 76ers. He's been out the last few weeks due to his brother's passing, and he just recently started practicing. Of course, Toronto can't make the playoffs, so Barrett doesn't need to rush back. But with Immanuel Quickley (personal), Scottie Barnes (hand), and Jakob Poeltl (hand) sidelined, Barrett could get more scoring opportunities than he had before his lengthy hiatus. On the other hand, if he's not back on Sunday, Gradey Dick and Gary Trent Jr. should remain Toronto's primary scoring contributors. There's also a chance for Garrett Temple, coming off a 15-point effort in Friday's blowout loss to the Knicks, to stay in the DFS value conversation.

Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (personal) participated in practice on Tuesday, and head coach Darko Rajakovic calls him day-to-day as Barrett gets his conditioning back after being away from the team for Toronto's last seven games. Wednesday's matchup against the New York Knicks marks the 23-year-old Canadian swingman's next chance to play, where Barrett should be considered questionable before the reeling Raptors release their official injury report. Gary Trent Jr. has steered the offense and been on a post-All-Star break surge, returning top-50 merit in nine-category fantasy leagues on averages of 19.1 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.3 steals, and 3.0 three-pointers in 32.9 minutes through his last 13 showings but next contends with a Knicks group yielding the fewest DraftKings points to opposing point guards.

Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (personal) won't play on Monday versus the Knicks. He remains out to mourn the unfortunate passing of his brother. But the Raptors have a slim chance of even making the Play-In, so it's reasonable to assume the former Knick won't be back for the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign. With Immanuel Quickley (personal) also sidelined, Gradey Dick, coming off a 17-point performance on Saturday against the Wizards, will stay an attractive DFS value option.

Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (personal) remains out on Saturday against Washington. Unfortunately, the passing of his brother has kept him off the floor for Toronto's previous five games. With the Raptors unlikely to make a Play-In spot, there's a chance the former Knick won't be back in the next 12 games, especially once the team is officially eliminated from contention. Understandably, Toronto is giving Barrett time to grieve. But with Scottie Barnes (hand), Jakob Poeltl (finger), and Immanuel Quickley (personal) also out, Gary Trent Jr. (back), Kelly Olynyk, and Gradey Dick should remain the team's top producers on the offensive end.

Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (personal) is officially ruled out for Friday night's game against the Orlando Magic. Barrett will miss his fifth consecutive game to be with his family while mourning the death of his younger brother. Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic confirmed the 23-year-old is without a return timetable yet and has the franchise's full support. Barrett has been a fantasy asset since moving to Toronto, with averages of 20.8 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 4.0 assists on his current team. Bruce Brown benefits most by moving into the starting lineup, with Scottie Barnes, Immanuel Quickley, Jakob Poeltl, and Chris Boucher all being out as well. Gary Trent Jr., Kelly Olynyk, and ...

Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett (personal) will miss a fourth consecutive game on Wednesday versus Sacramento. He recently lost his younger brother Nathan, and it's unclear when Barrett will be available again for the Raptors. Bruce Brown has played a bigger part in the rotation during Barrett's absence, while Gradey Dick has nailed down a starting role. The 20-year-old rookie has averaged 10.4 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.4 assists in 31.4 minutes across his five-game stint in the first unit. Barrett's absence also means a larger role offensively for Gary Trent Jr. and Immanuel Quickley (personal). A clash with the Kings is a very good fantasy matchup for the Raptors squad, as it's a meeting between two teams that don't put a lot of focus on defense and like to push the pace.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett (personal) will remain out of the lineup on Sunday against Orlando. He's mourning the passing of his younger brother and is without a timeline for a return. Sunday's matchup will be the third straight contest Barrett misses. Bruce Brown's role has increased during Barrett's absence. He's a great fantasy asset with his versatility, although Sunday's matchup will be a miserable one for Toronto from a fantasy perspective, as Orlando has a good defense and plays with a very low pace.

Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (personal) will take some time to be with his family after the devastating passing of his brother, Nathan Tyler Barrett. Barrett did not play in the team's last two games and the Raptors put out a statement about the passing of his younger brother. There is no timetable for his return while Barrett and his family take all of the time they need to get through this tough time. The 23-year-old has cemented himself as part of the Raptors' future as he's put together a high-quality stat line since moving back to his home country. Our thoughts and prayers are with Barrett and his family.

Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (personal) will be unavailable for Friday's meeting with the Orlando Magic. Now out for back-to-back games for personal reasons, Barrett looks to rejoin the Raptors for Sunday's rematch against Orlando. First-round rookie Gradey Dick has started three of Toronto's past four contests, averaging 11.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 2.3 triples in 34.6 minutes over this span.

Toronto Raptors guard RJ Barrett (personal) is unavailable for personal reasons in Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Barrett carried a questionable tag against the Nuggets on Monday. However, he ended up playing a total of 38 minutes and posted 26 points, seven rebounds, and nine assists. With Barrett out, Gradey Dick will most likely start, and Bruce Brown Ochai Agbaji and Javon Freeman-Liberty should see more minutes.

Toronto Raptors guard RJ Barrett (illness) is available ahead of Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Barrett was upgraded to probable earlier in the day. Now, Barrett has been fully cleared to suit up for Monday's game. Gradey Dick started in place of Barrett, which means he'll likely return to the second unit. However, the Raptors are banged up at the guard spot, so Dick could still see significant minutes in the rotation. Fantasy managers who have Barrett rostered can get him back in their lineups on Monday.

Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (illness) is probable for Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. A late scratch ahead of Saturday's defeat to the Portland Trail Blazers with an illness, Barrett is expected to return Monday. With a plethora of Raptors on the injury report, the 23-year-old swingman should be very busy in a tough matchup against Denver. Barrett is averaging 21.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 1.4 steals over his last 19 appearances.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett (illness) is suffering from an illness and has been tagged as questionable for their Monday night game. The Duke product was forced to miss their last game against the Portland Trail Blazers on Saturday, so the illness may linger enough to keep him out of at least one more game. If he can suit up, Barrett has turned himself into an automatic fantasy starter since joining the Raptors back in December. On the other hand, if he's sidelined for one more game, Immanuel Quickley will likely play some big minutes while Gary Trent Jr. and Gradey Dick will remain in the starting five as long as Bruce Brown (knee) also doesn't play.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett (knee) isn't on the injury report ahead of Monday's contest against Indiana. The former Knicks man appears ready to return from a one-game absence. Toronto kept Barrett out from Friday's matchup against Atlanta as the team finished off a back-to-back. Barrett hasn't fully completed any back-to-backs since returning from a left knee injury at the start of the month. He's back for a wonderful matchup fantasy-wise, as Indiana is ranked No. 2 in pace, while only a handful of teams have a poorer defensive rating than the Pacers.
