NBC SportsThe Raptors will start Davion Mitchell, Gradey Dick, RJ Barrett, Scottie Barnes and Jakob Poeltl against Golden State on Monday.

Mitchell didn't play at all in their last game, but he'll make a return to the starting lineup in this one. He should be able to supply some assists in an increased role, though Jamal Shead should also see some extra minutes off the bench.

NBC SportsChris Boucher recorded a double-double on Thursday with 23 points (9-of-14 FGs), 12 rebounds, one steal, one block and five 3-pointers against Cleveland.

Boucher has been a non-factor in fantasy basketball this season, but he went off in this game and set new season-highs for rebounds and 3-pointers while scoring 20 points for just the third time this season. This was an excellent performance for him, but with Jakob Poeltl healthy, there simply isn't enough minutes for Boucher to be worth rostering in most formats. Over their four previous games, he played a total of nine minutes, which includes two games where he didn't see the floor at all. It was a fun night, but he can be left on the waiver wire.

NBC SportsJakob Poeltl finished Friday's loss to the Magic with 25 points (11-of-12 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), six rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one blocked shot in 33 minutes.

Poeltl only missed one shot on Friday in one of his most accurate shooting performances of the season. And that's been the norm for him recently, with the 7-footer shooting 73.5% from the field over the past two weeks. Due to the improved percentages, with Poeltl also shooting 77.8% from the foul line, he has provided top-25 value over the past two weeks.

NBC SportsJalen Suggs, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Caleb Houstan, Tristan da Silva, and Goga Bitadze will start Friday's game against the Raptors.

Houstan is the lone change to the Magic starting lineup, replacing Wendell Carter Jr. WCJ is available for Friday's game, so the lineup change likely has more to do with the matchup (Jakob Poeltl is the only big in Toronto's starting lineup) than anything else. Houstan hasn't been much of a fantasy asset this season, so fantasy managers can afford to leave him alone.

NBC SportsImmanuel Quickley, Gradey Dick, Scottie Barnes, Ochai Agbaji, and Jakob Poeltl will start Wednesday's game against the Nets.

The Raptors will have a new backcourt after getting blown out by the Celtics on Tuesday. Quickley and Dick return from their respective injuries, which pushes Davion Mitchell and Ja'Kobe Walter to the bench. Barnes, Agbaji, and Poeltl complete the quintet.
