Scottie Barnes is sidelined with an ankle injury, impacting the Toronto Raptors' lineup significantly. Fantasy managers are advised to consider available players, including Gradey Dick, who has stepped up in Barnes' absence, averaging impressive stats during previous stretches without him.
Other players to watch include Nick Richards from the Charlotte Hornets, who has returned strong from injury, and De'Andre Hunter of the Atlanta Hawks, who has adapted well to a bench role. Yves Missi of the New Orleans Pelicans is also making a mark due to injuries on his team.
Goga Bitadze from the Orlando Magic has taken advantage of Wendell Carter's ongoing health issues, while Malik Beasley of the Detroit Pistons is providing much-needed three-point shooting. These players present valuable options for fantasy leagues as injuries reshape team dynamics.
