Back in double figures Boucher finished Tuesday's 118-108 win over the Hawks with 18 points (7-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds and one steal over 22 minutes.

Impact Boucher's 18 points were his most since March 21 and his first double-digit outing since March 26. His workload has been in flux all season, and that's still the case down the stretch. He's a risky fantasy option on a game-to-game basis but his numbers often pan out well over the course of a week. Since the beginning of March, he's averaging 10.1 points, 7.6 rebounds and 1.5 combined steals-plus-blocks in 23.6 minutes.

Another double-double Boucher closed Saturday's 131-91 win over the Pacers with 15 points (6-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and 10 rebounds across 30 minutes.

Impact Boucher scored in double figures for a fourth straight game and grabbed a team-high 10 rebounds en route to his third double-double over his past four games. Across 14 appearances (one start) in March, the talented big man has averaged 11.2 points and 8.0 rebounds in 25.0 minutes per game. Khem Birch continues to draw starts at center for the Raptors, but Boucher and Precious Achiuwa have been more productive fantasy options off the bench.

Delivers 17 against Cavs Boucher totaled 17 points (6-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds and three steals in 33 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 117-104 win over the Cavaliers.

Impact The 29-year-old big just missed recording his third straight double-double, but Boucher made up for it by scoring in double digits for the fifth time in the last seven games. His court time remains occasionally frustrating in Nick Nurse's fickle rotation, but over the last 10 games, Boucher is averaging a useful 12.2 points, 7.7 boards, 1.1 threes, 1.0 steals and 0.9 blocks.

Double-doubles in loss Boucher racked up 19 points (8-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 33 minutes during Monday's 113-99 loss to Chicago.

Impact Boucher recorded his second straight double-double Monday, making the most of the fact two starters were sitting out. It's been another up and down season for Boucher, with his playing time fluctuating on seemingly a nightly basis. Based on what we have seen during his career, he really needs others to be sidelined to have a crack at sustainable value. While he is worth adding in fantasy right now, keep an eye on the injury report moving forward.

Unproductive in Friday's loss Boucher closed Friday's 128-123 overtime loss to the Lakers with six points (3-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt) and five rebounds in 17 minutes.

Impact Boucher's roller-coaster season continued in the loss, scoring just six points for the second straight game. Coming off a season-best performance against the Nuggets last Saturday, things have slowed considerably for Boucher. With so much uncertainty from one game to the next, managers battling in their playoffs are fine to move on from Boucher, although it's worth keeping an eye on his role moving forward.

Big double-double off bench Boucher provided 21 points (8-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 13 rebounds, four blocks and one steal over 30 minutes during Saturday's 127-115 win over the Nuggets.

Impact The double-double was Boucher's seventh of the season and first since Feb. 3. The 29-year-old big continues to see erratic court time in Nick Nurse's rotation, with production to match, but Boucher's ability to pop for big numbers when he gets some run make him a viable DFS tournament option.

Moves back to bench Boucher will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.

Impact With Fred VanVleet (knee) set to rejoin the starting lineup after a five-game absence, Boucher will shift back to a reserve role. The 28-year-old posted 21 points in his last appearance and is averaging 9.0 points and 5.9 rebounds in 20.5 minutes per game this season.

Drops 21 points as starter Boucher racked up 21 points (8-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals over 36 minutes during Sunday's 104-96 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Boucher took on a starting role Sunday since Fred VanVleet (knee) and Malachi Flynn (hamstring) were sidelined, and he topped 20 points for the fourth time this season while coming within three rebounds of a double-double. With Flynn out indefinitely, Boucher's role going forward will be dependent on when VanVleet is able to return to the court. Boucher has been a solid fantasy contributor as a starter this year and should continue to see increased value if he draws additional starts.

Joins starting lineup Boucher is starting Sunday's game against the Cavaliers, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.

Impact With Fred VanVleet (knee) and Malachi Flynn (hamstring) sidelined Sunday, Scottie Barnes will start at point guard, which will open up a spot in the starting lineup for Boucher. He hasn't started since Jan. 25 but has averaged 6.3 points and 6.6 rebounds in 20.6 minutes per game across his last seven appearances.
