Raptors Odds to Keep 1st Round Pick as NBA's Midpoint Nears The Toronto Raptors have the sixth-worst record in the NBA as the midpoint of the season nears and just a 43.8% chance to keep their first-r...
Christian Koloko - Ups training, still lacks timeline Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic said Monday that Koloko (illness) has been doing more training work of late, but the second-year center remains out indefinitely, Aaron Rose of S...
Impact Koloko continues to deal with respiratory issues that have thus far kept him from playing at any point during the 2023-24 campaign. Though the fact that Koloko hasn't been shut down from activity entirely is at least somewhat encouraging, he doesn't appear particularly close to being ready for game action. A timeline for Koloko's season debut is unlikely to be available until he's regularly taking part in full-contact, full-court practices.

Scottie Barnes - Records double-double in loss Barnes notched 10 points (5-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt), 13 rebounds, two assists and two steals across 41 minutes during Monday's 105-96 loss to Boston.
Impact Barnes didn't have his best shooting outing Monday, though it was a game where most of the Raptors' offense struggled against one of the best defenses in the NBA. However, Barnes still found a way to make his presence felt since he contributed in peripheral stats while also notching his first double-double since Dec. 29. Barnes is averaging 16.6 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 1.4 blocks per game since the start of January.

RJ Barrett - Scores 24 points in loss Monday Barrett closed Monday's 105-96 loss to the Celtics with 24 points (11-19 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds and four assists across 36 minutes.
Impact Barrett bounced back from his four-point outing against the Jazz on Jan. 12, and he seems to be adjusting well to the Raptors' offensive scheme, as he has reached the 20-point mark in four of his last five outings. Barrett is averaging 19.9 points, 7.1 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game while shooting 56 percent from the field and 44.1 percent from deep since being traded to Toronto from New York.

Pascal Siakam - Shooting woes surface Monday Siakam posted 17 points (5-15 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Monday's 105-96 loss to the Celtics.
Impact Siakam had a rough outing from the field Monday, missing all six of his three-point attempts and needing 15 shots to barely surpass the 15-point plateau. Siakam has been a consistent scoring threat for the Raptors all season long, however, so he should be able to bounce back -- possibly in the team's very next game against the Heat on Wednesday.

Gradey Dick - Uncertain to play Monday Dick is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Celtics with a right thumb sprain.
Impact Dick is nursing the injury after he played 12 minutes -- his most since Nov. 21 -- in the Raptors' 145-113 loss to the Jazz on Friday. The rookie first-round pick hasn't typically been included in the rotation even when healthy, so any potential absence Monday due to the injury would likely go largely unnoticed.
