Kelly Olynyk - Still out Monday Olynyk (calf) is out for Monday's game against the Pelicans, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Ochai Agbaji - Cleared to play Monday vs. NOLA Agbaji (hand) is available for Monday's game against the Pelicans, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
Impact Agbaji missed the Raptors' last four games due to a right hand injury, but he's progressed enough in his recovery to return Monday. He could see a significant amount of playing time off the bench due to the absences of Immanuel Quickley (hip) and Kelly Olynyk (calf).

Ochai Agbaji - Iffy for Monday Agbaji (hand) is questionable for Monday's game against the Pelicans, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.
Impact Agbaji is in jeopardy of missing his fifth consecutive contest due to a right hand injury. If the 24-year-old remains on the shelf, Chris Boucher will likely receive a bump in playing time.
JANUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE
Kelly Olynyk - Iffy for Monday vs. NOLA Olynyk (calf) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against New Orleans, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Impact Right calf tightness prevented Olynyk from playing in Saturday's 117-94 win over the Hawks. Chris Boucher and Orlando Robinson would be in line to see an uptick in playing time if either or both of Olynyk and Jakob Poeltl (back) were to be sidelined for Monday's contest.
JANUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE
Immanuel Quickley - Ruled out for Monday Quickley (hip) has been ruled out for Monday's game against New Orleans, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.
Impact Quickley will miss his seventh consecutive contest due to a strained left hip, and there is no clear timetable for his return to game action. Davion Mitchell will likely remain in the starting five with Quickley on the shelf. The 25-year-old has appeared in only nine games this season, and the Raptors will likely remain cautious with the guard before giving him the green light to return.

Jakob Poeltl - Working through back stiffness Poeltl (back) is listed as questionable for Monday's game agianst the Pelicans, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Impact Poeltl is dealing with back stiffness, which puts his status for Monday's game in jeopardy. Chris Boucher and Orlando Robinson would see increased playing time if either or both of Poeltl and Kelly Olynyk (calf) are unable to play. Since and including Jan. 1, Poeltl has averaged 13.1 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.1 blocks over 29.9 minutes per game.

Davion Mitchell - Shooting woes from deep in win Mitchell posted eight points (3-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four assists, two rebounds and one steal in 26 minutes during Saturday's 117-94 victory over the Hawks.
Impact Mitchell struggled from three-point range Saturday, and he has failed to score double-digit points in three consecutive contests. The 26-year-old has started in six consecutive outings with Immanuel Quickley (hip) sidelined, during which Mitchell has averaged 6.2 points and 5.2 assists across 27.5 minutes per game.

January has ushered in a new version of Scottie Barnes to help shape Raptors' revival The Raptors have gone 6-6 this month, including five wins in their past six, with a realistic chance of earning a winning record in January.

Chris Boucher - 23 points in 21 minutes Boucher dropped 23 points (7-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds and a block in 21 minutes of action during Saturday's 117-94 win over the Hawks.
Impact The big man has been extremely hot and cold off the bench all season, but he's shown that he can score in bunches with limited time on court, as Saturday's outing marked the second time this year he's logged more points than minutes played. Boucher averaged 20.0 points on 70.0 percent shooting from the field and 62.5 percent from deep in 19.5 minutes in back-to-back matchups against the Hawks. However, in the three games prior, he averaged just 4.3 points while shooting just 40.0 percent from the field and 12.5 percent from behind the arc in 14.7 minutes, making him difficult to trust as a fantasy option going forward.

Scottie Barnes - Monster night on both ends in win Barnes put up 24 points (8-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 12 boards, seven assists, two steals and two blocks across 32 minutes in the 117-94 win over the Hawks on Saturday.
Impact The fourth-year forward stuffed the stat sheet Saturday, marking his 12th double-double of the year and his fifth in his last eight outings. Barnes also rewarded fantasy managers by putting together a nice performance on the defensive side of the ball, which is nothing new for him. His next outing comes Monday against the Pelicans.
JANUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE
RJ Barrett - Flirts with double-double in win Barrett logged 23 points (9-13 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and a steal in Saturday's 117-94 win over the Hawks.
Impact After a relatively quiet night in the first leg of Toronto's double-header against the Hawks on Thursday, Barrett bounced back Saturday, falling just two boards short of what would've been his eighth double-double of the season. He's been consistently solid of late, averaging 20.0 points, 7.2 rebounds and 5.4 assists while shooting 58.4 percent from the field. He'll look to keep rolling Monday against the Pelicans.
