Tue Mar 2615:30RJ Barrett Day-To-Day After Practicing
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.

Sun Mar 2415:50RJ Barrett Out On Monday
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.

Sat Mar 2313:31RJ Barrett Out Again On Saturday
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.

Thu Mar 2121:13RJ Barrett Won't Play Friday
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 ...

Wed Mar 2009:00RJ Barrett Remains Out Of Raptors Lineup
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.

Sun Mar 1717:14RJ Barrett Remains Unavailable Sunday
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.

Fri Mar 1511:43RJ Barrett Will Be Away From The Team For "A While"
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.

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.

Mon Mar 1120:24RJ Barrett Available On Monday
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.

Mon Mar 1115:55RJ Barrett Upgraded To Probable
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.

Sun Mar 1019:29RJ Barrett Questionable Against Nuggets
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.

Mon Feb 2607:37RJ Barrett Good To Go Monday
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.

Fri Feb 2319:14RJ Barrett Ruled Out For Friday's Game
Toronto Raptors guard RJ Barrett (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The Raptors have decided to take a cautious approach after Mitchell played 29 minutes during their last game. As a result, Jordan Nwora will move into the starting five for the second straight night. A move to the starting unit will boost his fantasy value but there should still be better options available on a 10-game slate. Bruce Brown should have an increased role off the bench with Barrett sidelined.

Fri Feb 2316:34RJ Barrett Questionable Friday
Toronto Raptors wing RJ Barrett (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Hawks. The 23-year-old played 29 minutes in the Raptors' 121-93 win over the Nets last night, contributing 12 points, five rebounds, and seven assists. Should Toronto opt to rest him on the second night of a back-to-back, Bruce Brown is expected to see increased minutes. Barrett has been averaging 20.1 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 3.7 assists in 33.5 minutes per game with Toronto.

Tue Feb 1323:07RJ Barrett Uncertain For Wednesday Evening
Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett may miss Wednesday's matchup with Indiana. The 23-year-old didn't practice on Tuesday because of a personal issue and carries a questionable tag heading into Wednesday's contest. Barrett has played well since his trade from the Knicks, averaging a career-high 20.4 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 3.6 assists in 18 appearances with the Raptors. He's missed some time due to injury. But overall, fantasy managers are pleased with his production. Nonetheless, if Barrett isn't available in the final game heading into the All-Star break, Bruce Brown and Gradey Dick should benefit.

Wed Feb 719:03RJ Barrett Returning On Wednesday
Toronto Raptors guard RJ Barrett (knee) is back in the starting five ahead of Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Barrett is back in action after sitting out of Monday's contest due to knee swelling. There is no word on Barrett being limited, so he figures to play his normal role in the rotation. Bruce Brown will head back to the bench where he'll have less streaming appeal with the second unit.

Wed Feb 716:11RJ Barrett Not Seen On Injury Report
Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (rest/knee) isn't spotted on the team's injury report for Wednesday's matchup against the Charlotte Hornets. Toronto kept Barrett out of Monday's blowout defeat to the New Orleans Pelicans to manage the swelling in his left knee, but they'll have him available on Wednesday for the final outing of their six-game road trip. The 23-year-old Canadian swingman has been very productive since landing north of the border on New Year's Day, averaging 21.1 points on 55.1% shooting from the floor, 7.1 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 1.4 triples covering 14 games in Raps digs. Although Barrett remains a points-league fantasy preference, he belongs in all season-long lineups versus a Hornets squad that sits dead last in the NBA in opponent field-goal percentage (50.5%).

Mon Feb 516:41RJ Barrett Sitting Out Against Pelicans
Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (knee) will sit out Monday's tilt against the New Orleans Pelicans. After logging 43 minutes in Sunday's double-overtime loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, Barrett will catch a breather for the second part of a back-to-back and the fifth outing of Toronto's six-game road trip. Although Barrett also missed the prior three contests due to swelling in his left knee, we would expect him to return to the Raptors starting group for Wednesday's action against the Charlotte Hornets. After tallying just two points from the bench on Sunday, Bruce Brown is most likely heading back into the first unit against New Orleans. Covering four games as a starter north of the border, Brown is averaging 11.0 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.0 triples, 1.8 steals, and 1.0 blocks in 32.9 minutes.

Sun Feb 418:09RJ Barrett Available Against OKC
Toronto Raptors forward R Barrett (knee) is available ahead of Sunday's game versus OKC. The former Duke Blue Devil has played well since being acquired from the Knicks, averaging a career-high 21 points in 13 appearances with Toronto. He's missed the last three games because of a knee issue. However, he's available and can be re-inserted back into fantasy lineups. With Immanuel Quickley good to go after recently returning from a three-game layoff of his own, Dennis Schroder, Gradey Dick, and Gary Trent Jr. should see fewer minutes.
