Mamukelashvili closed with 11 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 24 minutes during Thursday's 115-107 loss to the Timberwolves.
Although Jakob Poeltl started yet again, Mamukelashvili saw plenty of minutes off the bench at both frontcourt slots. Collin Murray-Boyles has been sidelined by a thumb sprain, and that has allowed Mamukelashvili to play an expanded role in the frontcourt.

Raptors' Sandro Mamukelashvili: Struggles again Saturday
Rotowire
Mamukelashvili provided seven points (3-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and one steal over 16 minutes during Saturday's 134-125 victory over the Wizards.
Mamukelashvili was limited again, despite the fact that Collin Murray-Boyles was sidelined with an ongoing thumb issue. While it has been mostly a productive season for Mamukelashvili, it appears as though his time as a standard league asset may have come to an end. He should at least remain on the radar, but as we approach the pointy end of the season, his nightly production just isn't cutting it.

Raptors' Sandro Mamukelashvili: Rough night again Wednesday
Rotowire
Mamukelashvili notched two points (1-2 FG) and three rebounds over 14 minutes during Wednesday's 110-107 loss to San Antonio.
Mamukelashvili scored no more than eight points for the fourth time in the past five games, continuing to serve as the third-string center. While his recent production has been far from ideal, managers may want to hit pause before cutting bait. Collin Murray-Boyles was forced from Wednesday's game due to an ongoing thumb issue, which could result in Mamukelashvili getting a bump, at least in the short term.

Raptors' Sandro Mamukelashvili: Limited in victory
Rotowire
Mamukelashvili ended with seven points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds and one block in 16 minutes during Thursday's 110-101 win over the Bulls.
Mamukelshvili has been a welcome surprise for fantasy managers this season, flirting with top 100 value for much of the past three months. However, with Collin Murray-Boyles and Jakob Poeltl now seemingly healthy, it appears as though Mamukelashvili could be on the outside looking in when it comes to meaningful playing time. He remains a soft hold for now, although if his minutes continue to dip, managers should have no hesitation in moving on from him.

Raptors' Sandro Mamukelashvili: Cleared to play
Rotowire
Mamukelashvili (rib) is available for Thursday's game against the Bulls, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Mamukelashvili was considered questionable leading up to tipoff, but the Raptors have since cleared him to play. He was playing well off the bench in his previous five games before the All-Star break, averaging 15.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.0 steals in 25.4 minutes over that stretch, though his minutes are expected to take a hit with Collin Murray-Boyles set to return from a thumb injury.

Raptors' Sandro Mamukelashvili: Questionable for Thursday
Rotowire
Mamukelashvili is questionable for Thursday's game against the Bulls with a right rib contusion.
Mamukelashvili is in danger of missing Toronto's first contest back from the All-Star break. Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb), who's expected to play Thursday, would likely share the center minutes with Jakob Poeltl evenly if Mamukelashvili is unable to suit up.

Raptors' Sandro Mamukelashvili: Effective off bench Thursday
Rotowire
Mamukelashvili contributed 17 points (5-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist, three steals and one block over 23 minutes during Toronto's 123-107 win over Chicago on Thursday.
Mamukelashvili had another productive showing off the bench Thursday, posting a season high in steals while finishing tied with fellow big man Collin Murray-Boyles as the Raptors' third-leading scorer behind Brandon Ingram (33 points) and Immanuel Quickley (24 points). Mamukelashvili has stepped into a larger role for the Raptors this season than he had in prior years with the Spurs and Bucks, but his role could shrink considerably once Jakob Poeltl (back) is given the green light by medical staff to return.

Raptors' Sandro Mamukelashvili: Drops 20 points off bench
Rotowire
Mamukelashvili finished Sunday's 107-100 win over Utah with 20 points (6-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds and one steal over 30 minutes.
On a night when Collin Murray-Boyles struggled (four points in 24 minutes), Mamukelashvili stepped up in a big way off the bench and was on the floor for most of the fourth quarter. Mamukelashvili finished Sunday's contest as the Raptors' second-leading scorer behind RJ Barrett (21 points) while connecting on at least four three-pointers for the fourth time this season. Mamukelashvili has averaged 15.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.9 threes and 1.0 steals over 27.8 minutes per game in his last nine outings (three starts).

Raptors' Sandro Mamukelashvili: Won't start vs. New York
Rotowire
Mamukelashvili won't start Wednesday's game against the Knicks, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
With Collin Murray-Boyles back in action following a four-game absence due to a thumb injury, Mamukelashvili will slide to the second unit. The fifth-year big man has averaged 11.3 points, 5.5 rebounds and 3.0 assists across 23.9 minutes per game in eight outings off the bench so far this month.

Raptors' Sandro Mamukelashvili: Goes for 22 points in win
Rotowire
Mamukelashvili logged 22 points (9-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Friday's 110-98 victory over the Trail Blazers.
Mamukelashvili continues to play the best basketball of his career, pouring in 22 points and reaching the 20-point mark for the third time in his past four games. With both Jakob Poeltl (back) and Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb) sidelined, it has been Mamukelashvili who has picked up the slack. In four appearances over the past week, he has averaged 19.5 points, 8.3 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 3.0 three-pointers in 29.3 minutes per game, good enough for top-30 value in standard leagues.

Raptors' Sandro Mamukelashvili: Shines in first unit Wednesday
Rotowire
Mamukelashvili contributed 22 points (8-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds and four assists in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 122-109 victory over the Kings.
With the Raptors missing both Jakob Poeltl (back) and Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb), Mamukelashvili helped fill the void as the top center with a near double-double. Mamukelashvili has averaged 16.0 points, 6.9 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 2.6 three-pointers in 30.0 minutes per contest through nine games as a starter this season, so he remains worth holding in fantasy leagues until either Poeltl or Murray-Boyles returns to action.

Raptors' Sandro Mamukelashvili: Steps in with 20-point effort
Rotowire
Mamukelashvili finished with 20 points (8-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-5 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 24 minutes during Sunday's 110-93 loss to the Lakers.
Mamukelashvili took over for Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb) after he injured his thumb in the third quarter. Mamukelashvili actually produced most of his total in the first quarter, as the Raptors employed a unique setup with both big men on the floor at the same time. They maintained a lead for the entire first quarter with this scheme. Eventually, Mamukelashvili and Murray-Boyles will give way to Jakob Poeltl (back) when he returns, but the fifth-year pro may see a start in his near future if Murray-Boyles' injury requires an absence.

He's appeared in 20 games (seven starts) since the start of December, averaging 10.3 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 23.8 minutes per contest during that span. With Jakob Poeltl (back) still sidelined, Mamukelashvili should see a healthy workload whether he starts or comes off the bench.

Mamukelashvili is questionable due to an illness for Friday's game against the Clippers, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Mamukelashvili is at risk of sitting out a second consecutive contest with the ailment. With Jakob Poeltl (back) already ruled out, rookie first-rounder Collin Murray-Boyles would likely take on the bulk of the center minutes Friday if Mamukelashvili can't suit up.

Mamukelashvili logged eight points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-5 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one block in 21 minutes during Monday's 115-102 loss to the 76ers.
Mamukelashvili saw limited run again Monday, with the coaching staff opting to go with rookie Collin Murray-Boyles as the starter once again. Mamukelashvili has now started only once in the past seven games, despite Jakob Poeltl continuing to miss games with a back injury. Unless things turn around in a hurry, Mamukelashvili will soon trend toward being a drop in standard leagues.

Mamukelashvili is not in the Raptors' starting lineup against the 76ers on Sunday, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Mamukelashvili made his eighth start of the season during the Raptors' 125-117 loss to the Celtics on Friday, when he finished with 15 points (7-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one block over 25 minutes. However, with Scottie Barnes (knee) cleared to return from a one-game absence, Mamukelashvili will revert to a bench role Sunday while Collin Murray-Boyles starts at center.

Mamukelashvili is getting the start with Scottie Barnes (knee) unavailable, and the former will be joined in the first unit by Immanuel Quickley, RJ Barrett, Ja'Kobe Walter and Collin Murray-Boyles. Across seven starts this season, Mamukelashvili has averaged 15.3 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.9 dimes, 2.9 triples and 1.1 steals per game.

Raptors' Sandro Mamukelashvili: Notches 10 points in win
Rotowire
Mamukelashvili accumulated 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal over 25 minutes during Wednesday's 97-96 win over the Hornets.
The Raptors seem content with Collin Murray-Boyles at center for the time being, but Mamukelashvili remains heavily involved for the second unit. It's worth mentioning that Jakob Poeltl (back) is getting closer to a return, so it will be interesting to see how this center rotation shapes up.
