Immanuel Quickley (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Celtics.Quickley has yet to miss a game this season, but there's a chance that could change on Sunday. If he's unable to play, the Raptors will most likely turn to Jamal Shead to fill the void. He would be worth streaming in deep leagues if allowed to start. Also, Brandon Ingram and Scottie Barnes may be asked to take on more playmaking responsibilities.
Brandon Ingram struggled on Friday and finished with just seven points (3-of-13 FGs), nine rebounds, two assists and one three-pointer against the Hornets.Ingram's worst game of the season represented Toronto's struggles in this game. He scored less than 10 points for the first time this season, and they've now lost four of their last five games, including twice to the Hornets. Ingram is in a slight shooting slump, which can help explain the lack of recent team success. He'll look to get back on track against the Celtics on Sunday.
Brandon Ingram amassed 20 points (10-of-23 FGs), seven rebounds, seven assists and one blocked shot in Thursday's loss to the Raptors.Ingram had a difficult night from beyond the arc, missing all five of his three-point attempts in the 123-120 defeat. However, he shot well over 50 percent from two, preserving the overall field-goal percentage, and the rebounds and assists were also helpful to fantasy managers. With Ingram not providing consistently good value in the defensive categories or assists, his margin for error is relatively slim when discussing fantasy value. As a result, he's slipped outside the top-75 in eight-cat formats after a promising start to the season.
Immanuel Quickley, Ja'Kobe Walter, Brandon Ingram, Scottie Barnes and Sandro Mamukelashvili will start Thursday's game against the Lakers.Due to lower back injury management, starting center Jakob Poeltl will not play on Thursday. He's been replaced in the lineup by Mamukelashvili, who is worth rostering in deep leagues even when Poeltl is available. Collin Murray-Boyles will also have added fantasy value, but Mamu is the preferred option.
