Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Miami Heat. Trent attempted to warm up for this contest, but the swelling in his left ankle continues to bother him. That means, Trent will miss his fifth straight game, but seems closer to a return. Fred VanVleet and OG Anunoby should see all the minutes they can handle. That being said, both should be strong options for DFS contests given the fact they will likely play close to 40 minutes.
Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes (knee) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Miami Heat. He was rested on Saturday, but Barnes should be back in action here. His return should push Yuta Watanabe to the second unit. Also, Precious Achiuwa won't have as big of a role with Barnes back in the rotation. Achiuwa should still have enough playing time to be able to produce fantasy value. Fantasy managers should check and make sure they have Barnes back in their lineups for Monday.
Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (ankle) will warm up and see if he can play against the Miami Heat on Monday. He has missed each of the last four games due to a left ankle issue. The Raptors could certainly use Trent back on the floor, but fantasy managers will have to wait and see. His return would likely mean Justin Champagnie and Svi Mykhailiuk wouldn't have big roles in the rotation. It's uncertain if the Raptors plan to limit Trent at all, assuming he returns on Monday. Fantasy managers will have to check back closer to tip-off for more information.
Toronto Raptors forward Khem Birch (nose) is not available for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Birch suffered a nose fracture during Friday's contest. His timetable is unknown, but the organization reportedly has taken care of the issue. In the meantime, Chris Boucher should be asked to pick up the slack. He has looked fantastic lately and is a must-have option right now while he's on fire. Fantasy managers should check the waiver wire and see if Boucher is available. He should play a bigger role with Birch likely sidelined multiple games.
Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. This marks the fourth game in a row that Trent has missed due to a left ankle issue. Svi Mykhailiuk should see increased playing time without Trent in the lineup. Although, he hasn't done much on the court lately. Fred VanVleet is likely to benefit the most with Trent sidelined. He'll be a popular DFS option with the Raptors banged up on Saturday.
