Raptors' Bruno Fernando: Earns final spot on roster
Bruno Fernando earned the 15th spot on the Toronto Raptors' roster Monday, Doug Smith of the Toronto Star reports.The Raptors claimed Fernando off waivers in July after he was let go by the Hawks. The 2019 second-round pick averaged 15.2 minutes per game across 45 regular-season contests last year, and while he's buried on the Raptors' depth chart, Fernando could see some playing time early on during the 2024-25 regular season if Kelly Olynyk (back) and Chris Boucher (knee) were to be sidelined.

Raptors' Bruno Fernando: Strong off bench Friday
Bruno Fernando compiled six points (2-9 FG, 0-1 3PT, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four steals, two assists and one block in 17 minutes during Friday's 113-95 loss to Washington.Fernando was waived by the Hawks in July, only to be offered a lifeline in the form of a non-guaranteed, one-year contract by the Toronto Raptors. Despite shooting the ball poorly in the loss, Fernando racked up five defensive stats, something the coaching staff was likely looking for. Bruno is no certainty to make the final roster, but performances like this should at least keep him in the discussion.

Hawks' Bruno Fernando: Scores career-best 25 points
Bruno Fernando posted 25 points (11-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one block over 26 minutes during Saturday's 132-91 victory over the Hornets.Fernando reached a new career-high scoring mark in this one, and the big man is certainly making the most of the opportunity with Onyeka Okongwu (toe) sidelined. However, this was a one-game outlier, and he's not expected to hover around the 20-point plateau -- let alone the 10-point mark -- off the bench going forward, as he remains a backup with little shot at a starting role any time soon.

Hawks' Bruno Fernando: Stuffs stat sheet off bench
Bruno Fernando had six points (3-5 FG), 11 rebounds, two assists, three blocks and two steals across 22 minutes during Sunday's 116-103 loss to the Pelicans.Fernando is not a player known for making a significant impact off the bench in fantasy formats, and he's probably on the wire in most leagues. Still, he certainly made his presence felt in this one, recording at least two tallies in every one of the five major categories while grabbing 11 boards -- the third time he pulled down double-digit boards across his last 10 games. His recent performances are worth monitoring, but he profiles as a streaming alternative for fantasy owners with depth issues at the center position in a best-case scenario, at least until Onyeka Okongwu (toe) returns to action.
