Khem Birch Stats

Toronto Raptors forward Khem Birch (knee) remains out on Saturday versus Indiana. The 30-year-old will miss his sixth straight contest as he works his way back from knee soreness. With Precious Achiuwa (ankle) and Pascal Siakam (adductor) both sidelined as well, Toronto will be shorthanded up front. Considering Fred VanVleet (illness) is questionable, Scottie Barnes may slide over to the point, which could mean extra work for Chris Boucher, who logged 31 minutes on Friday against OKC. There's also a chance Juancho Hernangomez and Otto Porter Jr. will see an uptick in production.

Toronto Raptors forward/center Chris Boucher (hamstring) and center Khem Birch (knee) are listed as questionable for Friday's clash with Brooklyn. Both players missed the team's season opener on Wednesday, as did Otto Porter Jr. (hamstring), who is also ruled out for Friday's action. These are some solid pieces missing for the Raptors, but the team still enjoyed a winning start to the campaign against Cleveland. Boucher is set to lead Toronto's bench mob once he's fully healthy, and he should be able to do enough to provide value for managers in deeper leagues. Porter Jr. could carve out a nice little role for himself as well, while Birch will likely struggle to make a mark this season.

Toronto Raptors center Khem Birch (knee) is doubtful heading into the season-opener against the visiting Cavaliers. The 30-year-old continues to deal with left knee swelling, so his availability beyond Wednesday night is also in jeopardy. With that said, Birch isn't expected to play a pivotal role for the Raptors this season, so his absence versus the Cavaliers likely won't impact many fantasy managers or the workload of his teammates.

Toronto Raptors forward Khem Birch (nose) has been upgraded to available for Thursday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He has not appeared in a game since January 14 and underwent nose surgery. His return will impact the fantasy value of Chris Boucher, and Precious Achiuwa. It's uncertain how big of a role Birch will have in the rotation right now. Fantasy managers should continue to hold Boucher as this is a wait-and-see type of situation.
