OG Anunoby - Questionable Thursday Anunoby (finger) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Pistons, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
Impact Anunoby has been sidelined for the last three games due to a fractured finger on his right hand, but he'll have a chance to return to action Thursday. If he's unable to suit up, Scottie Barnes, Gary Trent, Yuta Watanabe and Justin Champagnie should continue to see increased playing time.

D.J. Wilson - Out Thursday Wilson (knee) is out Thursday against the Pistons, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
Impact Wilson is out for a second straight game. His absence won't affect much, as he's a fringe rotation player when healthy.

Fred VanVleet - Questionable vs. Pistons VanVleet (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Pistons, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
Impact Knee soreness has forced VanVleet to sit the past two games. If he's unable to play again, more minutes should continue to be in store for Malachi Flynn.

Dalano Banton - Reports to G League Toronto assigned Banton to the G League's Raptors 905 on Wednesday, Doug Smith of the Toronto Star reports.
Impact Even with top point guard Fred VanVleet (knee) sidelined for both ends of the Raptors' back-to-back set with Brooklyn to begin the week, Banton hasn't been a major beneficiary. Instead, Malachi Flynn was elevated to the starting lineup and performed well in victories Monday and Tuesday, while Banton logged just 19 minutes between those contests. Banton will likely be recalled ahead of Toronto's next game Thursday versus Detroit, but he's unlikely to be included in the rotation if VanVleet is ready to go for that contest.
MARCH 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Svi Mykhailiuk - Shipped to G League Toronto assigned Mykhailiuk to the G League's Raptors 905 on Wednesday, Doug Smith of the Toronto Star reports.
Impact Mykhailiuk and rookie Dalano Banton were sent down to the G League to play in the 905's matchup with the College Park Skyhawks on Wednesday, but both could be back with Toronto in short order. Regardless, Mykhailiuk isn't part of head coach Nick Nurse's rotation, so his potential absence when the Raptors return to action Thursday versus Detroit wouldn't affect how the minutes are divvied out on the wing.

Scottie Barnes - Nabs second straight double-double Barnes produced 18 points (8-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block across 41 minutes in Tuesday's 109-108 win over the Nets.
Impact Toronto remained without Fred VanVleet (knee) and OG Anunoby (finger) for the second game in a row, so Barnes was once again thrust into a more prominent role while playing his most minutes since Feb. 1. Though he couldn't replicate the 28-point, 16-rebound, five-steal performance he delivered in Monday's blowout win over Brooklyn, Barnes at least came through with another fantasy-friendly line in the second half of the back-to-back set. His numbers should start to trend down once VanVleet and Anunoby rejoin the lineup, but the rookie will remain a must-roster player in any case.

Thaddeus Young - Leads bench in minutes Tuesday Young closed with 11 points (4-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal in 23 minutes during Tuesday's 109-108 victory over Brooklyn.
Impact Young led all bench players with 23 minutes in the victory, a sign that he is slowly but surely moving up the pecking order in Toronto. While he is yet to fully embrace his new role, he has been doing just enough (double-digit points and at least one steal in three straight games) to at least be considered in standard leagues for those seeking an efficient, low-volume scorer who can chip in across the board. His exact role remains a little unclear but based on recent events, the streaming appeal feels relatively safe.

Pascal Siakam - Improved effort in narrow win Siakam accumulated 18 points (7-19 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and one steal in 35 minutes before fouling out of Tuesday's 109-108 win over the Nets.
Impact Siakam got back on track, at least to some degree, with a reasonably strong performance Tuesday. After rolling out one of the best stretches of his career to end the month of January, Siakam has seen his offensive game suffer since returning from the All-Star break. Luckily for fantasy managers, he's usually able to compensate by delivering on the defensive end of the floor. As soon as he figures out a way to combine his talents, he should go back to being an elite fantasy asset once again.

Chris Boucher - Fails to impress in victory Boucher recorded eight points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and six rebounds over 19 minutes during Tuesday's 109-108 win over Brooklyn.
Impact Boucher logged his typical amount of minutes but was unable to bring much to the table Tuesday. The arrival of Thad Young has complicated matters for Boucher, especially when it comes to his fantasy upside. Along with Khem Birch and Precious Achiuwa, it appears the four players are simply going to cut into each other's playing time making them all tough players to trust in highly competitive leagues.
