Jamal Shead, Ochai Agbaji, Brandon Ingram, Scottie Barnes and Jakob Poeltl will start against the Knicks on Tuesday.Shead will start for the first time this season in place of Immanuel Quickley, who is sidelined with an illness. Agbaji, who scored a season-high 11 points off the bench on Sunday, will replace Ja'Kobe Walter in the starting lineup. Walter had been starting in place of RJ Barrett, so Agbaji could maintain that role moving forward.
Cooper Flagg, Scottie Barnes move up in latest NBA 2K26 ratingsHere's every player who gained or lost points in the latest NBA 2K26 ratings update.
Scottie Barnes: Nears triple-double in defeatBarnes provided 18 points (6-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 11 rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal over 37 minutes during Sunday's 121-113 loss to Boston.
Scottie Barnes accumulated 18 points (6-of-12 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), 11 rebounds, eight assists, one steal and one blocked shot in Sunday's loss to the Celtics.Finishing two assists shy of a triple-double, Barnes recorded his 12th double-double of the season on Sunday. He continues to provide first-round value in 12-team, nine-cat formats while sitting a few spots outside of that threshold in eight-cat. Boosting Barnes' fantasy value is the fact that he has not missed a game this season. He'll look to help the Raptors advance to the NBA Cup semifinals in Las Vegas when they host the Knicks on Tuesday.
Immanuel Quickley (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Celtics.Quickley has yet to miss a game this season, but there's a chance that could change on Sunday. If he's unable to play, the Raptors will most likely turn to Jamal Shead to fill the void. He would be worth streaming in deep leagues if allowed to start. Also, Brandon Ingram and Scottie Barnes may be asked to take on more playmaking responsibilities.
