Collin Murray-Boyles Fantasy Stats

Toronto Raptors forward/center Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb) will be sidelined for at least two more games, Sportsnet's Michael Grange reports. The rookie big man is nursing a left thumb sprain and missed a third consecutive contest on Sunday against Dallas. He has now also been ruled out for Toronto's upcoming back-to-back set on the road against Houston and New Orleans. Fortunately for the team, Jakob Poeltl appears to have returned to top form after a long battle with a back injury. The Austrian giant finished Sunday's win over Dallas with a 16-point, 10-rebound double-double, adding four assists, one steal, and two blocks. Sandro Mamukelashvili also had a fine outing as the backup center, notching 13 points, seven rebounds, three assists, one steal, and one block.

Toronto Raptors forward Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This marks the third game in a row that Murray-Boyles has missed due to a left thumb sprain. His next chance to play will come on Sunday, so fantasy managers will need to check back this weekend for another update. His absence should mean increased playing time for Jakob Poeltl and Sandro Mamukelashvili. Poeltl will likely see 30 minutes or more with Murray-Boyles out, so he should be a fairly attractive fantasy option.

Toronto Raptors forward/center Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb) will miss Tuesday's game against the Knicks, sidelined for a second straight contest due to a left thumb sprain. His next opportunity to return comes Thursday versus Minnesota. In his absence, Jakob Poeltl should continue handling increased frontcourt responsibility after posting 18 points, 10 rebounds, three assists, three steals, and one block in 26 minutes last game. Sandro Mamukelashvili logged seven points and three rebounds in 16 minutes but remains a deeper-league option. Poeltl is the clear fantasy beneficiary, especially in category formats.

Toronto Raptors forward/center Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb) will not return Wednesday against San Antonio after aggravating a left thumb contusion in the second half. The rookie logged 15 minutes and produced four points, five rebounds, one assist, and one steal before being shut down. Murray-Boyles has averaged 22 minutes this season, but any absence should push Jakob Poeltl into a heavier run after he posted 15 points, seven rebounds, and three blocks in 28 minutes off the bench last game. Sandro Mamukelashvili is a deeper-league flier.

Toronto Raptors forwards/centers Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb) and Sandro Mamukelashvili (rib) are available for Thursday's game against Chicago, but their upside hinges on minutes in a crowded frontcourt with Jakob Poeltl active. Over his last five games, Murray-Boyles averaged 9.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.4 steals, and 1.6 blocks in 25.7 minutes, flashing category juice if the workload holds. Mamukelashvili posted 15.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 2.8 threes in 25.3 minutes across that span. Both carry deep-league appeal, yet Poeltl's presence caps ceilings, leaving Scottie Barnes as the safest frontcourt play.

Toronto Raptors forward/center Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb) is listed as probable after missing his team's last game before the break with a left thumb sprain. He was able to play in the Rising Stars event, though, so the injury doesn't seem like it will cost him extended playing time going forward. Murray-Boyles could get a little extra playing time on Thursday, depending on the final status of Sandro Mamukelashvili (rib, questionable). If Mamu is out, Murray-Boyles will get more minutes in their timeshare with Jakob Poeltl, who just returned from an extended absence with a back injury. If all three big men are available, Murray-Boyles should still get enough work to be usable in most formats, but he will have a much lower ceiling with a smaller workload.

Toronto Raptors forward/center Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb) is listed as probable for Thursday's action against the Chicago Bulls. The rookie big man hurt his left thumb before the All-Star break, but the injury will cost him only one game. Murray-Boyles has averaged 7.9 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 2.1 assists during his first year in the Association. He's done a great job filling in for Jakob Poeltl, who has dealt with a back issue throughout the season. Poeltl returned to the lineup just before the break, meaning Murray-Boyles must settle for a bench role going forward, which limits his fantasy potential.

Toronto Raptors forward/center Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb) won't play on Wednesday night against the Detroit Pistons. The rookie big man aggravated a thumb injury in Sunday's win over Indiana and will be kept out of action through the All-Star break to allow proper healing. Jakob Poeltl (back) has been tagged as questionable on the injury report and could return on Wednesday. Still, even with the Austrian giant back in the mix, Sandro Mamukelashvili appears set for a busy night against the Eastern Conference leaders.

Toronto Raptors forward/center Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb) practiced on Tuesday, but he is still listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. A thumb injury could keep the talented rookie sidelined for a fifth consecutive game. Due to Jakob Poeltl's (back) health issues, Murray-Boyles' role has grown throughout the campaign, and he took over as the starting center at the beginning of January. In Murray-Boyles' absence, Sandro Mamukelashvili has enjoyed a good spell as a starter. Given how well Mamukelashvili has played, Murray-Boyles might come off the bench if he's available.

Toronto Raptors forward Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb) is questionable for Friday's matchup against Portland as he works through a left thumb sprain and risks missing a third straight game. His availability matters for Toronto's frontcourt rotation, where Sandro Mamukelashvili has stepped into a larger role. Mamukelashvili erupted for 22 points, nine rebounds, four assists and three three-pointers in 32 minutes last game, making him a strong short-term add if Murray-Boyles remains out. Murray-Boyles is a hold in deeper formats, but any absence continues to funnel minutes and usage toward Mamukelashvili.
