Hepburn registered zero points (0-3 FG, 0-3 3Pt) and two assists over eight minutes during Tuesday's 117-101 loss to New York.
Hepburn saw a handful of extra playing time, logging a career-high eight minutes. Sadly, that's where the positives end, as Hepburn offered basically nothing in terms of tangible production. There is almost no chance he carves out a consistent role for himself, at least not for the foreseeable future. At this point, his only value might be in dynasty leagues.

Raptors' Gradey Dick: Flops again in loss
Rotowire
Dick posted zero points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound across eight minutes during Tuesday's 117-101 loss to the Knicks.
Dick failed to score for the second straight game, another in a string of disappointing performances. After carving out a serviceable role for himself last season, Dick has been a non-factor thus far, averaging 6.3 points and 0.9 three-pointers in 15.8 minutes per game. He can be ignored in all but deeper leagues.

Raptors' Jamal Shead: Drops career-high 18 points
Rotowire
Shead accumulated 18 points (6-15 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds, eight assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 117-101 loss to New York.
Shead replaced Immanuel Quickley (illness) in the starting lineup, dropping a career-high 18 points in the process. After a slow start to the season, Shead has at least put himself on the standard league radar of late, averaging 10.0 points, 4.5 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.5 three-pointers in 24.7 minutes per game across four games over the past week. He would need Quickley to miss additional time to have any real chance of putting up value, although Shead could be utilized for streaming purposes at a pinch.

Raptors' Brandon Ingram: Drops 31 points in defeat
Rotowire
Ingram finished Tuesday's 117-101 loss to the Knicks with 31 points (11-18 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 6-8 FT), six rebounds, six assists and two steals across 39 minutes.
Ingram recorded 30-plus points for a second consecutive contest, leading the Raptors in a losing effort during Tuesday's NBA Cup quarterfinals match. The star swingman was also efficient from beyond the arc and has shot 8-for-13 from deep in his last three games. The 28-year-old provided a well-rounded performance and dished out at least six assists for the third time this season, helping pick up the playmaking slack with Immanuel Quickley (illness) sidelined.

Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Coming off bench vs. New York
Rotowire
Walter is not in the Raptors' starting lineup against the Knicks on Tuesday, Esfandiar Baraheni of The Athletic reports.
Walter will cede his spot in the starting lineup to Ochai Agbaji for Tuesday's NBA Cup quarterfinals matchup. Walter has started in seven of the Raptors' last eight games due to the absence of RJ Barrett (knee), and over that span, the former has averaged 6.5 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 1.3 threes and 1.1 steals over 23.0 minutes per game.

Raptors' Ochai Agbaji: Starting Tuesday
Rotowire
Agbaji will start against the Knicks on Tuesday, Esfandiar Baraheni of The Athletic reports.
The 25-year-old forward will get the starting nod for just the second time this season, pushing Ja'Kobe Walter to the bench. In his last five outings, Agbaji has averaged 4.2 points and 2.2 rebounds in 14.4 minutes per game.

Raptors' Jamal Shead: Starting Tuesday sans Quickley
Rotowire
Shead is in the Raptors' starting lineup for Tuesday's NBA Cup quarterfinals matchup against the Knicks, Esfandiar Baraheni of The Athletic reports.
Shead will make his first start of the regular season Tuesday due to the absence of Immanuel Quickley (illness). Shead has opened the 2025-26 regular season averaging 5.8 points, 5.1 assists, 1.8 rebounds and 1.2 steals over 19.3 minutes per game.

Raptors' Jamison Battle: Out Tuesday
Rotowire
Battle (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.
No surprise here, as Battle was previously listed as doubtful for Tuesday's contest due to a sprained left ankle. With the 24-year-old forward hitting the sidelines for a second straight game, Ochai Agbaji and Gradey Dick are candidates for a slight uptick in minutes.

Raptors' Jamal Shead: Will play vs. Knicks
Rotowire
Shead (quadriceps) is available for Tuesday's game against the Knicks, Vivek Jacob of the Raptors' official site reports.
Shead is overcoming a questionable tag with a right quadriceps contusion Tuesday. With Immanuel Quickley unable to play due to an illness, it looks like the minutes at point guard will be divvied up among Shead and Ja'Kobe Walter. Shead has averaged 5.7 points, 5.1 assists, 1.8 rebounds and 1.6 steals in 20.7 minutes per contest over his last 16 games.

Raptors' Immanuel Quickley: Out Tuesday
Rotowire
Quickley (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Knicks, Vivek Jacob of the Raptors' official site reports.
Quickley was a late addition to the injury report and will miss his first game of the season due to an illness. With the 26-year-old point guard unavailable, Jamal Shead, Ja'Kobe Walter and A.J. Lawson are candidates for increased playing time, while Scottie Barnes could handle increased playmaking duties.
Raptors' Immanuel Quickley: Downgraded to questionable
Rotowire
Quickley (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's game against New York, Ryan Wolstat of the Toronto Sun reports.
Quickley was a late addition to the injury report. He played through this same illness Sunday, finishing with 11 points in 31 minutes. It sounds like the guard is shaping up to be a game-time call.

Raptors' Jamal Shead: Iffy for Tuesday
Rotowire
Shead (quadriceps) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Knicks, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
Shead is dealing with a right quadriceps contusion and could miss Tuesday's NBA Cup quarterfinals matchup. If the second-year point guard is ultimately ruled out, A.J. Lawson and Ja'Kobe Walter could see increased playing time. Shead continues to see consistent run for Toronto, averaging 5.4 points, 4.0 assists, 3.0 steals and 2.4 rebounds across 20.8 minutes per game over his last five outings. However, he has shot just 27.0 percent from the field and 14.3 percent from downtown during that span.

Raptors' Jamison Battle: Doubtful for Tuesday
Rotowire
Battle is doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Knicks due to a sprained left ankle, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
Battle is in serious danger of missing back-to-back outings due to the ankle issue. His expected absence doesn't appear to free up very much playing time in the rotation, though it's possible Ochai Agbaji will see just enough minutes to warrant deep-league streaming consideration.

Raptors' RJ Barrett: Out another week
Rotowire
Barrett (knee) will be sidelined for at least one more week following a PRP injection, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports Monday.
After Tuesday's game against the Knicks, the Raptors will be off until Dec. 18. Barrett hasn't played since Nov. 23, and he remains without an official timetable for a return. Barrett has 17 regular-season appearances to his name with averages of 19.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.8 three-pointers.

Raptors' Jamal Shead: Logs two steals in loss
Rotowire
Shead had nine points (4-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and two steals across 22 minutes during Sunday's 121-113 loss to the Celtics.
Shead hasn't scored in double digits since Nov. 23 and is shooting just 27.5 percent from the field and 17.4 percent from three in that span. However, he remains committed to playmaking and staying engaged on the defensive end, averaging 4.0 assists and 2.1 steals in that span as well. Shead will continue to back up Immanuel Quickley and will likely remain a steady source of assists and steals for fantasy managers.

Raptors' Sandro Mamukelashvili: Provides spark in loss
Rotowire
Mamukelashvili totaled 14 points (6-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and six rebounds across 23 minutes during Sunday's 121-113 loss to the Celtics.
After recording just three points on 1-for-4 shooting from the field in Friday's loss to the Hornets, the 26-year-old big man bounced back and led the Raptors' bench in scoring and boards, outperforming starter Jakob Poeltl. Mamukelashvili had shot just 29.4 percent from the floor in his previous two games, so his efficiency Sunday is an encouraging sign. While he doesn't stuff the stat sheet on a nightly basis, the fifth-year pro remains a solid streaming option whenever Poeltl is sidelined.

Raptors' Scottie Barnes: Nears triple-double in defeat
Rotowire
Barnes provided 18 points (6-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 11 rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal over 37 minutes during Sunday's 121-113 loss to Boston.
After putting together one of his worst outings of the season in Friday's blowout loss to Charlotte, Barnes delivered a bounce-back performance Sunday. The star forward did it all for the Raptors, finishing as the club's second-leading scorer while leading Toronto in rebounds and assists. Barnes has now logged 12 double-doubles through 25 regular-season appearances and is on pace to average a career-high 20.0 points per game on 50.9 percent shooting from the field, which would also be a career-best mark.
