Raptors' Scottie Barnes doesn't need to be a scorer, but he can't be a spectator Barnes should be involved, even if only as a decoy, most of the time at the end of close games. He watched from the corner Sunday.

Bruce Brown - Coming off bench Sunday Brown isn't starting Sunday's game against the Thunder, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Impact Brown started the last four matchups and averaged 11.0 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.5 blocks in 33.3 minutes per game during that time. However, he'll retreat to the bench since RJ Barrett (knee) will return from a three-game absence against Oklahoma City.

RJ Barrett - Cleared for Sunday Barrett (knee) is active for Sunday's game against Oklahoma City, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
Impact Barrett will return from a three-game absence due to left knee information. He joins a fully healthy cast of wings without much chemistry together, including Scottie Barnes, Bruce Brown, Gary Trent, Jordan Nwora and Gradey Dick.

Jontay Porter - Out again Sunday Porter (back) will not play in Sunday's game against the Thunder, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Impact Sunday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, so this doesn't bode well for Porter's status against the Pelicans on Monday. Thaddeus Young will likely absorb the backup center minutes in the meantime.

RJ Barrett - Game-time decision for Sunday Barrett (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Thunder, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Impact Barrett has missed Toronto's last three contests while dealing with swelling in his left knee. He'll presumably give it a go in shootaround and warmups before the team makes a decision on his availability for Sunday.

Jakob Poeltl - Gets limited run in return Poeltl (ankle) posted six points (3-5 FG), five rebounds, two blocks and one assist across 20 minutes in Friday's 135-106 loss to the Rockets.
Impact Poeltl is averaging 26.4 minutes per game for the season, but he was unsurprisingly held below that mark Friday while he suited up for the first time since Jan. 7 following a near-month-long recovery from a sprained left ankle. The veteran center may need another game or two to ramp up before he resumes playing a 25-to-30-minute role on a regular basis, but he's worthy of a pickup in 10-team leagues where he might have been available now that he's playing again. Poeltl won't typically post any eye-opening scoring totals and is a negative in the three-pointers and free-throw percentage categories, but he's a stellar contributor in three other categories (blocks, field-goal percentage and rebounds).

Immanuel Quickley - Hits for 25 in Houston Quickley produced 25 points (7-16 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 5-7 FT), one rebound and six assists in 30 minutes during Friday's 135-106 loss to the Rockets.
Impact After missing the prior three games with a bruised quad, Quickley returned with his best scoring effort since Jan. 10. The fourth-year guard is averaging 17.3 points, 6.1 assists, 4.3 boards and 2.9 threes through 13 contests as a Raptor while playing 31.7 minutes a game, putting him on track for a big second half.
FEBRUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE
Scottie Barnes - Gets little help in loss Barnes supplied 28 points (10-17 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-8 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Friday's 135-106 loss to Houston.
Impact The third-year forward led the Raptors in scoring once again, but only two other Toronto players even scored in double digits on the night. Barnes may be wearing down a bit under the weight of having to carry the entire team following the departures of Pascal Siakam and OG Anunoby -- in 16 games since the beginning of January Barnes is averaging 18.9 points, 5.7 assists, 5.6 boards, 1.6 blocks, 1.2 threes and 0.9 steals while shooting 27.9 percent from beyond the arc.
