Quickley

Quickley put on a show Tuesday night, only missing two shots from the field and matching his career-high in scoring. Add in the assists, and the Raptors’ guard had one of his most productive nights of the season. Over the past two weeks, Quickley has been a top-50 player in eight-cat formats. Tuesday’s performance was an excellent one for IQ after tallying nine points in Sunday’s loss to the Lakers.

Quickley returned to the Raptors’ lineup after missing two games, playing 29 minutes. The scoring was modest, but the seven assists were a nice tally after he failed to record any in Toronto’s January 12 loss to the 76ers. Quickley has been a top-100 player in eight-cat formats, and that production level should be relatively easy for him to maintain for the rest of the season.

Quickley is available after missing Toronto’s last two games. His return should push Ochai Agbaji to the bench, with Quickley starting alongside Jamal Shead.

Quickley did not play in Toronto’s last two games, with Ochai Agbaji serving as his replacement in Friday’s loss to the Clippers. Not only could Agbaji retain that role if Quickley can’t play against the Lakers, but it would also place more playmaking responsibilities on Jamal Shead’s shoulders.

Quickley is out after being downgraded to doubtful Friday afternoon with a back injury. Jamal Shead and Ja’Kobe Walter figure to be more involved in the Raptors’ rotation with Quickley out.

Initially listed as questionable, Quickley is trending toward missing Friday’s game with back spasms. Jamal Shead, who has started the last three games in place of RJ Barrett, will figure more prominently within the rotation. Also, Ja’Kobe Walter could be moved back into the starting lineup if Quickley sits.

Quickley missed Toronto’s most recent game against Indiana due to a back injury. The absence marked just his second of the season. Should he return for the matchup with the Clippers, the Raptors will get back their assist leader and one of their five players who are averaging more than 10.0 points per game.

Quickly popped up on the injury report as questionable on Wednesday afternoon and has since been downgraded to out. His absence against the Pacers will mark just his second missed game of the season. He’s averaged 16.5 points, 4.3 rebounds and 6.1 assists so far through 40 games, and while sidelined, rookie Alijah Martin could see more playing time.

Quickley is a late addition to the injury report with back spasms, and he’ll join Garrett Temple, who is dealing with the same injury. Quickley’s potential absence could free up a spot start for Jamal Shead, who has made the most of increased opportunities this season. Temple’s absence has no impact in the realm of fantasy hoops, as he’s logging fewer than three minutes per game.

While Quickley’s production in the points and rebounds categories was solid, the lack of assists was disappointing for the Raptors’ point guard. Monday’s game was the first in which he failed to record an assist, one week after tallying one in a win over the Hawks. Quickley is averaging 6.1 helpers per game on the season, but a decrease in assists and poor shooting (37.7 percent over the past two weeks) has weighed down his fantasy value recently.
