Agabji took full advantage of RJ Barrett's absence on Thursday. He reached 20 poinrs for just the fourth time this season and led all Raptors in shot attempts. It'll be hard for him to match this production with Barrett available, though.
RJ Barrett has already been ruled out for this game, and if Mitchell joins him, Toronto will be down their top four playmakers for this game. Rookie Jamal Shead will likely get a chance at extended minutes and potentially see the first start of his career if Mitchell is out.
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.
Barrett is out for Thursday's game versus the Nets due to an illness, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Barrett can typically be counted on for assists without Immanuel Quickley and Scottie Barnes in the lineup. His nine assists weren't a surprise, but he exploded for 32 points against the Bulls Monday. He's now had four games in December with at least 29 points. Fantasy managers will certainly take that from Barrett, who is a must-start option as Quickley and Barnes are still set to be out for weeks.
