NBC SportsRaptors reporter Michael Grange reports that Scottie Barnes (thigh) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup with New York.

Barnes went through Monday's practice, but he'll carry a questionable designation due to a thigh bruise. If Barnes is ultimately ruled out, Ja'Kobe Walter could replace him in the starting five, making him worth a look as a deep-league streamer.

NBC SportsImmanuel Quickley, RJ Barrett, Brandon Ingram, Scottie Barnes and Collin Murray-Boyles will start against the Thunder on Tuesday.

With Jakob Poeltl (back) sidelined for this game, CMB will make a return to the starting unit. Barnes is also back after a one-game absence, which pushes Ja'Kobe Walter to the bench, eliminating the streaming value he held.

NBC SportsImmanuel Quickley, Ja'Kobe Walter, RJ Barrett, Brandon Ingram and Jakob Poeltl will start Sunday's game against the Bucks.

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.
