Toronto

Raptors

The undrafted rookie wrapped up his first season in the NBA on a high note. Battle set new career highs for both points and three-pointers and became the 48th rookie in league history to hit seven triples in one game. He is the fourth rookie this season to reach that mark, with Bub Carrington, Dalton Knecht and Jaylen Wells also doing it. Battle has played well as part of Toronto’s rotation over the past month, but there likely won’t be minutes for him with the Raptors to start next season.

He didn’t do enough scoring to reach a triple-double, but Mogbo became the seventh player this season to record a rebound-assist double-double. It was a solid way to end his rookie season and cap off a four-game stretch where he averaged 12.8 points, 10.8 rebounds, nine assists, 2.5 steals and one block per game. The second-round pick has showcased a ton of upside in year one, but it’s unclear how he’ll fit into the rotation next season when the rest of the team is healthy. Still, when he gets the opportunity to play, he should be an effective, well-rounded fantasy option.

In what has been a disappointing season for both Barnes and the Raptors, he was able to close the season out on a high note. He finishes his fourth season in the NBA with averages of 19.3 points, 7.7 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.4 steals, one block and 1.2 threes per game. Toronto should be more competitive next season with Brandon Ingram and a lottery pick entering the rotation. That should help Barnes bounce back from a disappointing campaign where he shot a career-worst 44.6 percent from the floor.

Temple played just two minutes before suffering a knee sprain that will keep him sidelined for the rest of the season finale. Toronto will only have seven available players to close out this game. AJ Lawson should see a boost in minutes with Temple unavailable. Temple ends his age-38 season as merely a veteran presence reserve and has started just twice in three seasons. He’ll be a free agent this offseason and could struggle to continue his career.

Boucher last played on February 26, and he’ll end the season with averages of 10 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.4 triples in 17.2 minutes per game. He’ll be an unrestricted free agent this summer and could end up leaving Toronto despite being with the team since 2018.

Boucher is a late addition to the injury report, though his status for this game won’t impact Toronto’s rotation. Even when healthy, he hasn’t appeared in a game since February, even with the Raptors tanking in recent weeks.

Rhoden will remain out for Sunday’s season finale, the second straight game he’s missed with a shoulder injury. On a two-way contract, Rhoden only appeared in 16 games this season. Since he isn’t guaranteed a standard contract for next season, he should not be on draft boards next fall.

Barrett will sit out Sunday’s season finale for rest reasons, while Walter’s absence is due to a tight right hip flexor. Ochai Agbaji and Jamison Battle started Friday’s loss in Dallas and should retain those roles in San Antonio. Barrett has long been a better option in points leagues than category leagues, but he did make some strides in the former this season, providing 12th-round value in eight-cat formats. However, the addition of Brandon Ingram at the trade deadline does not bode well for Barrett’s fantasy prospects in 2025-26. The same can be said for Walter, as injuries limited the first-round pick to 52 appearances as a rookie. While Barrett can be selected with a late-round pick in standard drafts, Walter should be left alone in redraft leagues.

Quickley and Poeltl will end their seasons in street clothes, as both will sit out Sunday’s finale in San Antonio. While he finishes the season as a ninth-round player in eight- and nine-cat formats, injuries limited Quickley to 33 appearances this season. With the addition of Brandon Ingram at the trade deadline, Quickley’s scoring opportunities may decrease next season. As for Poeltl, the veteran center was a top-50 player in nine-cat formats and ranked just outside that threshold in eight-cat. While his scoring may take a hit next season, Poeltl does enough as a rebounder and defender to preserve most of his fantasy value. Jamal Shead and Jonathan Mogbo should remain in the starting lineup for Sunday’s game.

It has been a rough stretch offensively for Barnes. but after getting two games off to nurse his right hand injury, he was able to have some success on Friday. He had his highest-scoring performance since March 20 despite his abysmal night from the free throw line. It’s unclear if Barnes will be available for Toronto’s season finale in San Antonio on Sunday since they are locked in to the seventh-best lottery odds. If this was Barnes’ final game of the season, he was able to end a rough year on a high note.
