Raptors' Sandro Mamukelashvili: Limited again in loss
Rotowire
Mamukelashvili logged eight points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-5 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one block in 21 minutes during Monday's 115-102 loss to the 76ers.
Mamukelashvili saw limited run again Monday, with the coaching staff opting to go with rookie Collin Murray-Boyles as the starter once again. Mamukelashvili has now started only once in the past seven games, despite Jakob Poeltl continuing to miss games with a back injury. Unless things turn around in a hurry, Mamukelashvili will soon trend toward being a drop in standard leagues.

Raptors' Jamison Battle: Sticks in rotation
Rotowire
Battle produced three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and two rebounds over eight minutes during Monday's 115-102 loss to the 76ers.
Battle remained in the rotation, suiting up for the fourth straight game. Although he has been seeing the floor over the past week, his production leaves a lot to be desired, averaging 3.0 points and 1.8 rebounds during that time.

Raptors' Garrett Temple: Rare appearance in loss
Rotowire
Temple registered no counting stats in two minutes during Monday's 115-102 loss to the 76ers.
Temple was in the rotation for the first time in the past eight games, albeit for a brief appearance during garbage time. For some reason, he continues to hold down a roster spot in Toronto, despite barely seeing the floor. Temple has no fantasy value whatsoever.
Ingram (thumb) notched 17 points (5-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 10 rebounds and seven assists across 34 minutes in Monday's 115-102 loss to the 76ers.
Ingram returned to action Monday after missing the Raptors' previous two games due to a right thumb sprain he sustained in Wednesday's win over Charlotte. While he struggled with efficiency, he still finished as the team's second-leading scorer and also made his presence felt in other ways. The 28-year-old swingman grabbed a game- and season-high mark in rebounds, securing his first double-double of the campaign. Additionally, he matched his season high in assists, dishing out a team-best seven dimes.

Raptors' Brandon Ingram: Ready to go Monday
Rotowire
Ingram (thumb) has been cleared to play Monday against Philadelphia, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Ingram was being considered a true game-time call leading up to tipoff, but he fared well in warmups and will suit up Monday night after missing his team's last two matchups. He figures to be a full go considering his brief absence.

Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Won't play Monday
Rotowire
Walter is listed out for Monday's game against the 76ers due to a right hip pointer, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Walter was unable to finish out Sunday's 116-115 overtime win over Philadelphia due to the injury, and he'll need at least one game off to recover from the hip pointer. RJ Barrett (ankle) will also remain out and Brandon Ingram (thumb) is considered questionable, so the Raptors could have plenty of minutes up for grabs on the wing.

Raptors' RJ Barrett: Ruled out Monday
Rotowire
Barrett (ankle) won't play in Monday's game against the 76ers, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
After tweaking his left ankle in Friday's loss to the Celtics, Barrett is now set to miss both ends of Toronto's back-to-back set. With Brandon Ingram (wrist) questionable to play, it's possible both Alijah Martin and Gradey Dick could work their way into the streaming mix Monday.

Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Another absence coming
Rotowire
Poeltl (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the 76ers.
Poeltl was cleared for contact back on Jan. 5 and is trending in the right direction, but the Raptors haven't determined a target date for his return. For what it's worth, head coach Darko Rajakovic said Sunday that Poeltl is without a definitive target date for a return, though that's not necessarily an indication that the veteran center has suffered a setback, per Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca. With Poeltl out for another game, Collin Murray-Boyles and Sandro Mamukelashvili will absorb most of the available minutes at center.

Raptors' Brandon Ingram: Iffy for Monday
Rotowire
Ingram (thumb) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the 76ers, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Ingram has missed the last two contests due to a right thumb sprain, but he's got a chance to play Monday. If the star swingman is unable to return to the floor, Jamal Shead, Collin Murray-Boyles Alijah Martin could all have higher playing-time floors.
Raptors' Alijah Martin: Part of crunch-time lineup Sunday
Rotowire
Martin finished Sunday's 116-115 overtime win over the 76ers with nine points (3-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, four steals and two blocks over 30 minutes.
Although he struggled with his shot during Sunday's overtime loss, Martin earned his minutes with his energy on the defensive side of the floor, co-leading the Raptors in stocks with fellow rookie Collin Murray-Boyles. Martin was on the floor late in the fourth quarter and all of overtime, and he has taken advantage of the extra playing time available due to the absences of Brandon Ingram (thumb), RJ Barrett (ankle) and Jakob Poeltl (back). Ja'Kobe Walter also left in the first quarter and did not return due to a right hip injury, so depending on his availability, along with that of Ingram, Barrett and Poeltl, Martin could maintain his elevated role in Monday's rematch against Philadelphia.

Raptors' Immanuel Quickley: Logs four steals in OT win
Rotowire
Quickley recorded 20 points (6-22 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 6-9 FT), seven assists, five rebounds and four steals over 40 minutes during the Raptors' 116-115 overtime win over the 76ers on Sunday.
Quickley tied a season high with 22 field-goal attempts as he and Scottie Barnes ran the Raptors' offense Sunday in the absences of Brandon Ingram (thumb) and RJ Barrett (ankle). It wasn't an efficient night all around for Quickley, but he managed to crack the 20-point threshold for the 11th time this season and tied a career high with four steals. The sixth-year point guard would be in line for another high-volume outing in Monday's rematch against the Sixers if one or both of Ingram and Barrett were to be sidelined.

Raptors' Jamal Shead: Drops 22 points in spot start
Rotowire
Shead logged 22 points (7-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 6-8 FT), six assists and two rebounds over 37 minutes during Sunday's 116-115 overtime win over Philadelphia.
Shead made his second start of the season Sunday due to the absences of Brandon Ingram (thumb) and RJ Barrett (ankle). Shead made the most of his opportunity, finishing second on the Raptors in points and assists behind Scottie Barnes (31 points and seven assists). The Raptors and 76ers face each other Monday in a rematch, and Shead would likely remain in the starting five if Ingram and Barrett are unable to play.
Raptors' Collin Murray-Boyles: Another impressive performance
Rotowire
Murray-Boyles logged 17 points (7-12 FG, 3-3 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists, three steals and three blocks over 42 minutes during the Raptors' 116-115 overtime win over the 76ers on Sunday.
The rookie first-rounder continues to flourish in his starting role, tying a career high with 15 rebounds while dominating defensively with six stocks. He also played a crucial role in overtime with timely rebounds and dunks on back-to-back possessions to help the Raptors secure the victory. Murray-Boyles will likely start in Monday's rematch against Philadelphia if Jakob Poeltl (back) is ruled out, though the former would be facing a more daunting defensive assignment if Joel Embiid (knee) is cleared to return.

Raptors' Scottie Barnes: Game-winning FT vs. Philly
Rotowire
Barnes posted 31 points (10-19 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 10-12 FT), seven assists and six rebounds over 43 minutes during the Raptors' 116-115 overtime win over the 76ers on Sunday.
Barnes served as the focal point of the Raptors' offense Sunday due to the absences of RJ Barrett (ankle) and Brandon Ingram (thumb), and Barnes finished as the game's second-leading scorer behind Tyrese Maxey (38 points). Barnes' 10th made free throw with 0.8 seconds left in overtime put the Raptors up for good, and he deliberately missed the second attempt to let the clock expire. The Raptors and 76ers will do it all again in Monday's rematch in Toronto.

Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Won't return Sunday
Rotowire
Walter (hip) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the 76ers, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Walter injured his right hip during the first quarter and has not been cleared to return by medical staff, finishing the night with two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and one assist over five minutes. He was making his second consecutive start due to the absences of RJ Barrett (ankle) and Brandon Ingram (thumb), so Gradey Dick and Alijah Martin are poised to see more minutes off the bench for the rest of Sunday's contest. Walter is now in jeopardy of being sidelined for Monday's rematch against Philadelphia.

Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Exits to locker room
Rotowire
Walter exited to the locker room in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the 76ers due to an apparent hip injury, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Walter headed back to the locker room with 7:17 remaining in the first quarter, grabbing at his right hip. If the second-year guard joins Brandon Ingram (thumb) and RJ Barrett (ankle) on the sidelines, Gradey Dick, Alijah Martin and Ochai Agbaji are candidates for increased playing time.

Raptors' Jamal Shead: Starting Sunday
Rotowire
Shead will start Sunday versus the 76ers, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
With Brandon Ingram (thumb) unavailable, Shead will draw the start and he'll be joined in the first unit by Immanuel Quickley, Ja'Kobe Walter, Scottie Barnes and Collin Murray-Boyles. In Shead's previous start this season, he finished with 18 points (6-15 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds, eight assists, one steal and one turnover in 34 minutes, so he's on the radar as a potential streamer in fantasy leagues.
