Ja'Kobe Walter

Barrett practiced full on Saturday and will return to his role in the starting unit on Sunday after missing their last game. Rookie Ja'Kobe Walter will return to the bench after getting the starting nod on Thursday.

Barrett missed Thursday's matchup with Brooklyn, but he appears on track to play on Sunday against Houston. Rookie Ja'Kobe Walter started in his place, but he will return to a role off the bench if Barrett is able to suit up.

Barrett has unexpectedly been ruled out for Thursday, so the Raptors will need to replace their leading scorer and assist man in the starting lineup. Ja'Kobe Walter has a chance to slide in with the first unit and has regularly been logging more than 20 minutes off the bench lately.

Having injured his ankle during a December 9 loss to the Knicks, Barnes was initially expected to miss "several weeks." While he still has not been cleared for contact, the work done recently suggests that Barnes may not be on the sideline for too long. While Jonathan Mogbo replaced the Raptors star in the lineup for their first game post-injury, Davion Mitchell and Ja'Kobe Walter also have increased opportunities to contribute.

Fernando will get his first start of the season with Jakob Poeltl sidelined for this game. Dick will also be back after missing the team's last five games, which will push rookie Ja'Kobe Walter back to a reserve role, where he will lose any fantasy upside that he had.
