  • Raptors' Trayce Jackson-Davis: Fails to make impact with Toronto

    Jackson-Davis did not see the floor during Sunday's 114-102 loss to the Cavaliers in Game 7 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    Jackson-Davis' third NBA season was mostly a letdown throughout 2025-26. The big man got lost in the shuffle with Golden State before being traded to Toronto, where he averaged only 1.8 points, 1.9 rebounds and 0.4 assists in 5.0 minutes per tilt over 17 regular-season contests. With Sandro Mamukelashvili a potential departure this offseason, the Raptors could exercise Jackson-Davis' team option for 2026-27 to fortify their center depth.

  • Gradey Dick SG | LAC

    Raptors' Gradey Dick: Ends disappointing third season

    Dick did not see the floor during Sunday's 114-102 loss to the Cavaliers in Game 7 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    With Brandon Ingram (heel) joining the Raptors, Dick took a huge step back in 2025-26. Across 76 regular-season appearances, the third-year sharpshooter averaged a career-low 6.0 points, 1.9 rebounds and 0.7 assists in 14.0 minutes per game. Dick is set to return to Toronto in 2026-27, but it's concerning that he wasn't able to move into a more prominent role despite Ingram's absence in Game 7.

  • Jeff Green PF | HOU

    Rockets' Jeff Green: Doesn't see floor in Game 6

    Green did not see the floor in Friday's Game 6 loss to the Lakers.

    The veteran was mostly an emergency depth piece for the Rockets in 2025-26. Across 30 regular-season contests, he averaged a mere 5.8 minutes with 2.2 points and 0.8 rebounds.

  • JD Davison PG | ORL

    Rockets' JD Davison: Sees two minutes in Game 6

    Davison supplied no counting stats across two minutes during Friday's 98-78 loss to the Lakers in Game 6 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

    Davison was used very sparingly in his debut season for Houston. Across 28 regular-season contests, he averaged just 7.8 minutes per game with 2.5 points, 1.3 assists and 1.2 rebounds.

  • Raptors' Sandro Mamukelashvili: Diminished role in Game 7

    Mamukelashvili closed Sunday's 114-102 loss to the Cavaliers in Game 7 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with six points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT) in nine minutes.

    While his minutes began to dip during the playoffs, Mamukelashvili was a pretty big part of Toronto's rotation earlier this year. Over 80 regular-season appearances (13 starts), the fifth-year big man averaged 11.2 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 21.9 minutes per game. Mamukelashvili has a player option for 2026-27, and it remains to be seen if he'll settle for that or opt to explore free agency.

  • Jamison Battle SF | TOR

    Raptors' Jamison Battle: Limited role in 2025-26

    Battle racked up three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across 14 minutes during Sunday's 114-102 loss to the Cavaliers in Game 7 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    The second-year forward served mostly as frontcourt depth in 2025-26, so his fantasy impact was relatively limited. Battle averaged 4.2 points, 1.8 rebounds and 0.5 steals in 8.5 minutes per contest over 24 games during the regular season, shooting 51.0 percent from the field. If Sandro Mamukelashvili leaves this offseason, Battle could take on a larger role in 2026-27.

  • Clint Capela C | HOU

    Rockets' Clint Capela: Logs two minutes in Game 6

    Capela notched two points (1-1 FG) and one rebound across two minutes during Friday's 98-78 loss to the Lakers in Game 6 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

    Capela's return to Houston in 2025-26 was mostly underwhelming, even after the season-ending injury to Steven Adams (ankle). In total, Capela made 75 regular-season appearances with averages of 3.8 points and 4.6 rebounds in 12.3 minutes per contest.

  • AJ Lawson SG | TOR

    Raptors' A.J. Lawson: Decent run in Game 7 loss

    Lawson accumulated two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one block in 16 minutes during Sunday's 114-102 loss to the Cavaliers in Game 7 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    After opening the campaign under a two-way deal, Lawson signed a standard contract with the Raptors in April. The Canadian-born guard averaged just 4.2 points, 1.8 rebounds and 0.5 steals in 9.4 minutes per contest through 24 regular-season games for Toronto, so it remains to be seen if he'll earn another standard pact or perhaps settle for another two-way opportunity this offseason.

  • Jae'Sean Tate SF | HOU

    Rockets' Jae'Sean Tate: Logs five minutes in loss

    Tate accumulated three points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and three rebounds in five minutes during Friday's 98-78 loss to the Lakers in Game 6 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

    Tate was primarily an emergency depth option off the bench this season. Across 46 regular-season contests, he averaged just 8.8 minutes per contest with 2.8 points and 1.6 rebounds on 51.4 percent shooting from the field.

  • Raptors' Collin Murray-Boyles: Fills box score in Game 7

    Murray-Boyles logged eight points (3-5 FG, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 24 minutes during Sunday's 114-102 loss to the Cavaliers in Game 7 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    Murray-Boyles was a key contributor for Toronto during this seven-game series, chipping in double-digit points in five contests. The rookie first-rounder carved out a significant role right away for the Raptors, averaging 8.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.9 blocks in 21.9 minutes per tilt through 57 regular-season games. Provided Sandro Mamukelashvili picks up his player option for 2026-27, Murray-Boyles could be in for a similar role next year unless Toronto finds a way to get off of Jakob Poeltl's gaudy contract.
