CHRIS BOUCHER NEWS

Dealing with bruised knee Boucher is listed as questionable for Monday's game at Denver due to a bruised right knee.

Impact Boucher has stepped up over the last two games with Toronto missing key pieces in Scottie Barnes (hand) and Jakob Poeltl (finger), but he could be in danger of missing the first of the Raptors' four games in the week ahead. If Boucher is cleared to play, he should make for a relatively appealing streaming option given that he's totaled 27 points, 17 rebounds, four assists and three blocks over his last two games (55 total minutes). Keep an eye out for an update at shootaround Monday morning.

Logs 16 points from bench Boucher finished Saturday's 128-118 overtime loss to the Trail Blazers with 16 points (4-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and three blocks in 31 minutes.

Impact Boucher provided much-needed size and agility to the interior during the loss. Recently, he has played well off the bench during Scottie Barnes' (hand) absence but he has also dealt with his own injuries, minimizing what would have otherwise been golden opportunities with Barnes and Jakob Poeltl (finger) absent. Considering his average of 27.5 minutes over the past two games, Boucher's increased usage should continue if he can stay healthy.

Re-enters rotation Boucher recorded 11 points (4-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one block across 12 minutes during Monday's 138-100 loss to the Pelicans.

Impact Boucher was a healthy scratch in Toronto's last two contests, but he stepped in with efficient offense and active rebounding in a limited sample during Monday's blowout loss. Boucher being phased out of the rotation is an interesting storyline given that the 30-year-old is the only power forward on the roster besides Scottie Barnes, but it appears that Toronto would rather allocate the minutes elsewhere at this time.

Nears double-double off bench Boucher recorded 17 points (7-7 FG, 3-3 3Pt), nine rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 16 minutes during Sunday's 133-118 victory over the Warriors.

Impact Boucher has had relatively limited production off the bench for most of the year, but he's come within one rebound of a double-double in his last two appearances. He was perfect from the floor Sunday, although it's worth noting that both of his recent strong performances came in games where the score was lopsided after the first half. Across his last eight appearances, Boucher has averaged 7.1 points and 4.9 rebounds in 14.6 minutes per game.

Limited again Friday Boucher posted three points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and three rebounds across seven minutes during Friday's 120-118 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Boucher played fewer than 15 minutes for the 10th consecutive game, scoring just three points. Despite a proven ability to produce fantasy-relevant numbers, Boucher's days of playing meaningful minutes appear to be behind him. At this point, there is no reason to have him on a roster, even in deeper formats.

Blocks two shots off bench Boucher finished Wednesday's 135-128 victory over the Hawks with two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and two blocks across 10 minutes.

Impact Boucher played through a recent quad injury, blocking two shots in 10 minutes. Unfortunately, that's where the good news ends. He added just two points to his boxscore, continuing his disappointing season. Despite a somewhat fantasy-friendly game, Boucher's days of being a viable asset appear to have passed him by.

Available Wednesday Boucher (quad) is available for Wednesday's game against the Hawks, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.

Impact Boucher suffered a left quad contusion during Monday's loss to the Knicks and didn't practice Tuesday, but he'll still suit up Wednesday. Boucher has appeared in 16 straight games, averaging 6.8 points and 3.4 rebounds in 14.3 minutes during that stretch.

The 30-year-old forward is averaging 7.0 points, 5.3 rebounds and 0.8 blocks in 16.6 minutes across nine games so far in 2023-24.

Back to bench Boucher will return to the bench for Friday's preseason game against the Wizards.

Impact This is an expected move with Jakob Poeltl healthy again. Boucher has played well in the preseason for the most part, and it's likely that he has earned a rotation spot.

Fouls out Tuesday Boucher recorded three points (1-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 13 minutes before fouling out of Tuesday's 106-102 preseason win over the Bulls...

Impact Boucher continues to draw starts with Jakob Poeltl (illness) sidelined, a sign that he's slated to be the top frontcourt reserve during the regular season. Boucher showed off his defensive prowess in his limited action but was also a little too aggressive at times. Boucher has an extremely unique skill set, but it remains to be seen if he can handle more than 20 minutes per game and still be effective.

Impact With Jakob Poeltl (illness), Precious Achiuwa (groin) and Christian Koloko (illness) all sidelined, Boucher will make a spot start during preseason action. Boucher averaged 9.4 points and 5.5 rebounds across 76 appearances last year and should see a similar reserve role in 2023-24.
