Raptors' Bruce Brown: Out again Thursday
Brown (knee) will not play Thursday against the Nets, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
Previous reports have indicated that Brown is getting closer to making his first appearance of the season. He's been cleared for practice, but his conditioning may not be up to par yet. His next chance to play comes Sunday against the Rockets.

Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Won't play Thursday
Poeltl (groin) will not play Thursday against the Nets, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
After undergoing an MRI, Poeltl has a bilateral groin strain and is considered day-to-day. With Toronto's starting center sidelined for at least one game, Kelly Olynyk will likely step into a large role and will offer plenty of upside for fantasy managers in need of a short-term pickup.

Raptors' Scottie Barnes: Questionable for Thursday
Barnes (ankle) is expected to be listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Nets, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
Barnes, who was diagnosed with an ankle sprain Dec. 9, was expected to miss several weeks of action. However, he appears to be way ahead of schedule and is officially day-to-day. Barnes was having a solid season before his injury, averaging 20.6 points, 8.4 rebounds, 7.4 assists, 1.3 steals, 0.7 blocks and 1.9 three-pointers.

Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Solid outing in close loss Monday
Walter closed Monday's 122-121 loss to Chicago with six points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and two steals across 24 minutes.
The rookie was efficient while tying Kelly Olynyk for the team-high mark in steals. Walter has provided a spark for the Raptors thus far, and in his last five outings since moving back to the bench, he has averaged 9.6 points, 2.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 steals while shooting 40.9 percent from the field across 23.2 minutes per contest. The 20-year-old should continue to receive fairly significant playing time, especially with Immanuel Quickley (elbow) and Scottie Barnes (ankle) sidelined for an extended period.

Raptors' Kelly Olynyk: Minor role continues
Olynyk closed with seven points (2-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist and two steals in 13 minutes during Monday's 122-121 loss to Chicago.
Olynyk has played in four straight games after missing the first month and a half of the season due to a back injury. However, he didn't surpass 15 minutes in any of those contests. If Jakob Poeltl (groin) is forced to miss time after leaving Monday's loss to the Bulls early, Olynyk may be thrust into an expanded role, but his current conditioning levels may not allow him to play more than 20 minutes.

Raptors' Chris Boucher: Double-doubles off bench
Boucher provided 11 points (4-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 10 rebounds and one block in 21 minutes during Monday's 122-121 loss to the Bulls.
Despite being healthy, Boucher didn't appear in any of Toronto's previous three games. However, he was thrust into an expanded role late in Monday's loss to the Bulls after Jakob Poeltl (groin) left the contest. Poeltl is set for an MRI to determine the severity of the injury, but if he misses time, Boucher should have a consistent role in the frontcourt, sharing time with Kelly Olynyk and Jonathan Mogbo. When Boucher has played 20-plus minutes this season (10 games), he's averaged 16.1 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.0 steals-plus-blocks in 22.3 minutes per game.

Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Gets MRI after early exit
Poeltl was scheduled to undergo an MRI after exiting Monday's 122-121 loss to the Bulls with a left groin injury in the fourth quarter, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
The Raptors are expected to provide a prognosis for Poeltl once the results of the MRI are available, likely at some point Tuesday. Poeltl recorded six points (3-7 FG), five rebounds, three assists and one steal in 22 minutes before checking out of the game with 10:12 remaining in the contest due to the injury. If Poeltl isn't available for Thursday's game against the Nets, the Raptors would likely lean on Kelly Olynyk and Jonathan Mogbo to cover most of the minutes at center, with Chris Boucher presumably getting more playing time at power forward.

Raptors' Jamal Shead: Solid numbers off bench Monday
Shead finished Monday's 122-121 loss to the Bulls with 10 points (4-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt), four rebounds, six assists and one steal across 12 minutes.
Shead made the most of his minutes off the bench. The rookie was perfect from the field and made his presence felt as a playmaker and rebounder while logging just 12 minutes. The Raptors will probably rely on RJ Barrett to run the offense going forward, but Shead could get a bigger role since the team is missing both Immanuel Quickley (elbow) and Scottie Barnes (ankle) due to injuries.

Raptors' Gradey Dick: Scores 27 points in loss
Dick accumulated 27 points (9-20 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds and two assists in 33 minutes during Monday's 122-121 loss to Chicago.
Dick is establishing himself as a reliable offensive option in a rebuilding Toronto team, and his numbers have been quite good since returning from a five-game absence between Nov. 25 and Dec. 3 due to a calf problem. Dick has surpassed the 20-point mark in three of his last four appearances and is averaging 20.8 points per game in that span, but he's doing so by shooting just 39.4 percent from the floor and 30.8 percent from deep.

Raptors' RJ Barrett: Records 32-point night in loss
Barrett closed with 32 points (11-24 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 8-9 FT), five rebounds, nine assists, two blocks and one steal across 37 minutes during Monday's 122-121 loss to the Bulls.
Barrett bounced back from a quiet 13-point showing Thursday against the Heat and fell just one assist shy of a double-double. He continues to slot in as the team's top weapon on the offensive end and should see heavy usage going forward given the absence of Scottie Barnes (ankle) and potential future absence of Jakob Poeltl, who exited versus Chicago with a groin injury.

Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Won't return Monday
Poeltl will not return to Monday's game against the Bulls due to a left groin injury, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports. He'll finish the game with six points (3-7 FG), five rebounds, three assists and one steal across 22 minutes.
Poeltl slipped and limped back to the locker room with 10:12 remaining in the final quarter of Monday's matchup before being ruled out. Jonathan Mogbo and Kelly Olynyk should see more opportunities if Poeltl is forced to miss additional time.

Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Heads to locker room
Poeltl left Monday's game against the Bulls due to a an apparent lower body injury, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
Poeltl appeared to slip early in the fourth quarter and limped to the locker room shortly after for further evaluation. Kelly Olynyk and Jonathan Mogbo would pick up the slack at center the rest of the way if Poeltl can't return.

Raptors' Bruno Fernando: Returning to bench Monday
Fernando is not in the Raptors' starting lineup for Monday's game against the Bulls, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Fernando was a late addition to the Raptors' starting lineup Thursday due to Jakob Poeltl dealing with back spasms. However, Poeltl ended up playing in that game and played 27 minutes off the bench while Fernando was limited to just two minutes of playing time. Fernando likely won't see much playing time off Toronto's bench behind Poeltl and Kelly Olynyk.

Raptors' Jamison Battle: Out Monday with ankle sprain
Battle (ankle) is listed as out for Monday's game against the Bulls.
The two-way player presumably sprained his left ankle Friday, when he played 23 minutes in the G League Raptors 905's 132-109 loss to the Delaware Blue Coats. Though Battle is now back with the parent club, he'll be sidelined Monday as the Raptors kick off a three-game week. Battle had been part of the rotation in Toronto's last game Thursday in Miami, but he could find minutes more difficult to come by once the Raptors get Scottie Barnes (ankle), Bruce Brown (knee) and Immanuel Quickley (elbow) back from injuries.

Raptors' Jamal Shead: Recalled to parent club
Toronto recalled Shead from the G League's Raptors 905 on Monday.
Shead has played an average of 12.0 minutes over his last three NBA appearances, so he's likely to get more reps with the 905 in the near future.

Raptors' Bruce Brown: Remains out
Brown (knee/conditioning) won't play Monday against the Bulls, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Brown is inching closer to his return and "looked pretty good" during Sunday's practice, according to coach Darko Rajakovic, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports. However, there's still no timetable for Brown's return as he tries to regain his conditioning, though he remains day-to-day.
