Chris Boucher News, Rumors, Updates - Toronto Raptors

Conflicting reports on status Despite previous reports, Boucher (illness) is listed as available on the injury report for Tuesday's game versus the Magic.

Impact Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca and Esfandiar Braheni of The Athletic have both reported that Boucher will sit out Tuesday due to an illness, but the Raptor's official injury report and the daily lineups page on NBA.com both indicate that Boucher is available. Due to this conflicting information, it remains to be seen if Boucher will ultimately suit up against Orlando.

Won't play Tuesday Boucher (illness) is out for Tuesday's game versus the Magic, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Boucher has been downgraded from questionable to out Tuesday due to an illness. His next chance to suit up is Thursday's matchup with Atlanta.

Sits out practice Boucher (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Orlando, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Boucher was unable to practice Monday and is considered day-to-day. He's played an average of 16.0 minutes over his last two appearances, as Kelly Olynyk is starting to become more involved with the Raptors.

Chris Boucher's energy, and his big fourth quarter, are a shot in the arm for the Raptors Raptors’ veteran big man Chris Boucher scores 17 of his 18 points in the fourth quarter to lead Toronto to surprising win over Golden State.

Another double-digit scoring effort Boucher finished with 18 points (7-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one block over 22 minutes during Monday's 104-101 victory over the Warriors.

Impact Boucher has been running hot and cold all season. He's on a good stretch right now, racking up double-digit points in four straight outings, including 10 points in four minutes to kick things off. During these four performances, the veteran has averaged 16.3 points and 5.5 rebounds in 18.3 minutes while shooting 75.8 percent from the field -- much higher than his season-long efficiency of 49.6 percent.

Boucher and Shead's Bench Spark in Close Loss to Cavs | Raptors Today

JANUARY 10 • YOUTUBE

Dazzles off bench despite defeat Boucher produced 23 points (9-14 FG, 5-8 3Pt), 12 rebounds, one block and one steal over 27 minutes during Thursday's 132-126 loss to Cleveland.

Impact The Raptors might have lost to the Cavaliers on Thursday, but Boucher had an impressive performance off the bench. The big man drained a season-high five threes en route to posting his second-best scoring mark of the campaign, as well as a season-best output in rebounds. Boucher has scored in double digits in his last two games, as well as in five of his previous eight, but he won't have a lot of upside if he continues to see under 20 minutes per game on a steady basis.

Used sparingly in win Boucher registered three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and one rebound across five minutes during Wednesday's 130-113 win over the Nets.

Impact Boucher barely touched the floor, shifting down in the rotation with the Raptors now presenting a relatively healthy roster. Assuming the team can remain largely injury-free, Boucher will likely struggle to play meaningful minutes on a nightly basis.

Steps up with efficient 16 points Boucher totaled 16 points (5-6 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals across 19 minutes during Monday's 139-125 loss to New York.

Impact With starting center Jakob Poeltl (groin) out Monday, Boucher stepped up for the Raptors with an efficient 16 points as well as a full stat line off the bench. Through his last 12 contests, Boucher is averaging 9.5 points, 4.1 rebounds, 0.9 steals and 1.1 three-pointers in 17.6 minutes. If Poeltl misses Toronto's next game Thursday against Memphis, Boucher would be worth streaming in deep fantasy leagues for a decent dose of boards, triples and defensive stats, but he'd still likely remain in a timeshare with Jonathan Mogbo and Kelly Olynyk at the five.

Double-doubles off bench Boucher provided 11 points (4-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 10 rebounds and one block in 21 minutes during Monday's 122-121 loss to the Bulls.

Impact Despite being healthy, Boucher didn't appear in any of Toronto's previous three games. However, he was thrust into an expanded role late in Monday's 122-121 loss to the Bulls after Jakob Poeltl (groin) left the contest. Poeltl is set for an MRI to determine the exact severity of the injury, but if he misses time, Boucher should have a consistent role in the frontcourt, splitting time with Kelly Olynyk and Jonathan Mogbo. When Boucher has played 20-plus minutes this season (10 games), he's averaged 16.1 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.0 steals-plus-blocks in 22.3 minutes per game.

Non-factor in win Tuesday Boucher finished Tuesday's 122-111 win over the Pacers with six points (2-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists in 14 minutes.

Impact Boucher offered very little Tuesday, continuing his recent run of low production. He has scored no more than 10 points in each of the past six games, adding three total blocks. The Raptors continue to deal with injuries to multiple players, yet Boucher has been unable to carve out a consistent role. Despite a somewhat fantasy-friendly game, it appears as though Boucher would need a minor miracle to have any chance of playing a significant role moving forward.

Leads bench with 15 points Boucher logged 15 points (5-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and four rebounds in 20 minutes during Saturday's 126-123 overtime loss to the Celtics.

Impact Boucher ended Saturday's game as the Raptors' third-leading scorer behind Jakob Poeltl (35) and RJ Barrett (25). Boucher has reached double-digit points in seven of his last 10 outings, and over that span he has averaged 11.5 points and 4.5 rebounds over 18.6 minutes per game.

Productive off bench Sunday Boucher produced 18 points (6-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal in 20 minutes during Sunday's 123-103 loss to the Lakers.

Impact Boucher has been making the most of his minutes in recent games, and the veteran forward is making a strong case to see even more playing time with how he's been playing. He's scored in double digits in four of his last five outings, averaging 15.0 points and 4.8 rebounds per game in that stretch.
