Kelly Olynyk - Ruled out Friday Olynyk (back) will miss Friday's contest against the Lakers, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
Impact Olynyk will miss another game, his sixth consecutive to begin the season. The Raptors will be very shorthanded heading into Friday's game, as they are also without Scottie Barnes (orbital), Bruce Brown (knee) and potentially Immanuel Quickley (pelvis). With Olynyk out, Jonathan Mogbo and Bruno Fernando will likely continue to back up Jakob Poeltl until he returns.

Ja'Kobe Walter - Questionable for Friday Walter (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Lakers, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
Impact Walter has yet to make an appearance for the Raptors this season as he continues to recover from his shoulder injury, but it is worth noting that this is the first time the rookie has been deemed questionable this season, meaning his return may be sooner than anticipated. If Walter can't play Friday, his next chance to suit up will be Saturday versus the Kings.
OCTOBER 31 • ROTOWIRE
Immanuel Quickley - Unlikely to play Friday Quickley (pelvis) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game versus the Lakers, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
Impact Quickley is expected to miss his fifth straight contest Friday while dealing with a pelvis injury. If Quickley is officially ruled out, Davion Mitchell and Jamal Shead should continue to receive increased playing time.

Jamal Shead - Dishes out career-high nine assists Shead logged seven points (2-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, nine assists and one steal over 20 minutes during Wednesday's 138-133 loss to the Hornets.
Impact Shead has seen increased playing time to start the season with Immanuel Quickley (pelvis) sidelined. The 22-year-old guard led Toronto in assists while coughing up just one turnover. Shead is averaging 8.2 points, 5.6 assists and 1.2 rebounds in 20.2 minutes across five appearances to begin the 2024-25 campaign.

Jamal Shead - Dishes out career-high nine assists Shead had seven points (2-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, nine assists and one steal across 20 minutes during Wednesday's 138-133 loss to the Hornets.
Impact Shead has seen increased playing time to start the season with Immanuel Quickley (pelvis) sidelined. The 22-year-old guard led Toronto in assists while coughing up just one turnover. Shead is averaging 8.2 points, 5.6 assists and 1.2 rebounds in 20.2 minutes across five appearances to begin the 2024-25 campaign.

Jakob Poeltl - Another double-double Poeltl finished with 20 points (10-14 FG), 16 rebounds, two assists and two steals in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 138-133 loss to the Hornets.
Impact Poeltl has now posted back-to-back double-doubles despite coming up short in Wednesday's contest. The 29-year-old big man is off to a great start to the 2024-25 campaign, averaging 13.8 points, 12.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.2 blocks in 31.8 minutes across five appearances. However, Poeltl's field-goal percentage is down to 56.0 percent from 65.6 percent last year.

Jonathan Mogbo - All-around performance in start Mogbo contributed 11 points (5-7 FG, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 25 minutes during Wednesday's 138-133 loss to the Hornets.
Impact Mogbo made his first career start in Wednesday's loss with Scottie Barnes (eye) out. Mogbo played the fewest minutes of any starter but still made a strong defensive impact. The rookie forward is averaging 7.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks in 16.6 minutes across his first five appearances.
OCTOBER 31 • ROTOWIRE
RJ Barrett - Goes for 31 points Wednesday Barrett amassed 31 points (10-18 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 7-12 FT), four rebounds, eight assists and two steals over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 138-133 loss to the Hornets.
Impact Barrett led the Raptors in scoring in this contest and also ended just two assists away from a double-double. It's only been two games, but the star forward is enjoying an excellent start to the 2024-25 campaign. Barrett has scored a combined 51 points while shooting 19-for-39 from the field and 6-for-12 from deep. He'll aim to continue his strong start to the campaign against the Lakers on Friday.
OCTOBER 31 • ROTOWIRE
Gradey Dick - Scores career-high 30 points Dick fouled out of Wednesday's 138-133 loss to the Hornets after recording 30 points (11-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-8 FT), two rebounds, one assist and three steals across 36 minutes.
Impact Dick delivered the best scoring performance of his young career before fouling out, and the second-year guard is performing at a high level while doing an excellent job of handling a more significant role on offense. Dick has reached the 15-point mark in all but one of his five appearances and has reached the 20-point mark in two of his last three, so his scoring exploits have been enough to keep him relevant across all fantasy formats. He's also shooting 48.5 percent from the field, which represents an upgrade compared to his rookie year in 2023-24.
OCTOBER 31 • ROTOWIRE
Davion Mitchell - Hands out 11 dimes Wednesday Mitchell closed Wednesday's 138-133 loss to Charlotte with 11 points (5-11 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and 11 assists across 28 minutes.
Impact Mitchell has stepped in admirably for Immanuel Quickley, and even though he endured a slow start to the campaign, he seems to be turning things around of late. The 11 assists were a season-high mark for the fourth-year guard, and he's also scored in double digits in his last two games. That said, the emergence of players such as Gradey Dick and Jakob Poeltl, as well as RJ Barrett's return, should keep Mitchell's scoring numbers on the low for the time being.
