Ochai

Agbaji

Walter, who was initially left off Monday’s injury report, will sit out after suffering a right hip pointer on Sunday. In his absence, more playing time should be available for the likes of Alijah Martin, Ochai Agbaji and Gradey Dick.

Barrett sustained an ankle injury in Friday’s loss to Boston, and it will cost him both games of the Raptors’ back-to-back set. In his absence, Ochai Agbaji, Ja’Kobe Walter and Jamal Shead should see additional run.

Barrett exited Friday’s loss to the Celtics during the latter stages of the fourth quarter. With Brandon Ingram and Scottie Barnes listed as questionable, the Raptors could be severely shorthanded on Sunday. Ja’Kobe Walter and Ochai Agbaji will see their minutes increase with Barrett unavailable.

Ingram injured his right thumb during Wednesday’s win over the Hornets, exiting after playing 11 minutes. With Scottie Barnes also out, the Raptors will lean heavily on Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett for their offense. Ja’Kobe Walter and Ochai Agbaji should see their playing time increase, with both potentially moving into the starting five.

Barnes briefly exited from Wednesday’s game against the Hornets due to a right knee injury, but he was able to return to finish out the game. However, he missed shootaround on Friday and is now expected to be sidelined. With Collin Murray-Boyles already starting, Sandro Mamukelashvili or Ochai Agbaji will likely start with Barnes expected out.

Ingram played 11 minutes before exiting with what the Raptors are describing as a sprained right thumb. While Jamison Battle has picked up a few minutes off the bench, Ja’Kobe Walter and Ochai Agbaji are the players who fantasy managers should watch for the rest of Wednesday’s game.

Barrett sat out on Monday, which was the second night of a back-to-back after making his return from a 15-game absence the day before. Sandro Mamukelashvili came off the bench in his return but started with Barrett out. Either Mamu or Ochai Agbaji will come off the bench with Barrett back.

Barrett returned from a 15-game absence in Sunday’s overtime win over the Warriors, but he’ll miss the second leg of the team’s back-to-back set as he works his way back from injury. Poeltl will miss another game, and with the pair out of action, expect Ochai Agbaji and Sandro Mamukelashvili to see additional run.

Barrett, who is on a minutes restriction, will start in his return from a 15-game absence. However, it won’t be Agbaji that heads to the bench. This is likely a matchup-based decision, but it will be Sandro Mamukelashvili that will play a reserve role in this game. He should still play significant minutes off the bench.

Barrett will make his return after a 15-game absence. He will be on a minutes restriction, which will limit his production. However, his return will likely push Ochai Agbaji back to the bench. The only way it won’t is if head coach Darko Rajakovic opts to bring Barrett off the bench to ensure he’ll be available to close the game despite the restriction. That would only be temporary, and Agbaji will lose minutes regardless.
