Immanuel Quickley Remains Sidelined On Saturday
Immanuel Quickley (hip) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. This lingering hip issue will force Quickley to miss his sixth game in a row. The Raptors haven't given a clear timetable on Quickley's return, but the hope is that he'll be back soon. In the meantime, Gradey Dick and Bruce Brown figure to continue seeing increased roles in the rotation. Both players are well worth a look as streaming options with the Raptors shorthanded right now.

Immanuel Quickley Takes Thursday Off
Immanuel Quickley (rest) will not play on Thursday against the Portland Trail Blazers. He will be taken out of the lineup for rest purposes. Jamal Shead is likely to come into the starting lineup to fill in for Quickley, who is expected to return to action on Friday against the Detroit Pistons. Shead has provided decent fantasy value as a starter, averaging 10.7 points, 2.3 rebounds, 6.7 assists, and 1.4 steals in the role. He may even be busier than usual on Thursday night, as Portland allows the 11th-most fantasy points in the league to opposing point guards.

Immanuel Quickley Returning To Action Against Bulls
Immanuel Quickley (rest) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Tuesday's encounter with the Chicago Bulls. The former Knick has received regular rest days recently and was held out of action when the Raptors visited the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday. Jamal Shead started instead of Quickley and had a good two-way outing with 11 points, nine assists, three steals, and one block. Shead is set to drop back to the bench on Tuesday, but he could become a fantasy target again for Thursday night against the Portland Trail Blazers when Quickley is likely to come out of the lineup once more for rest purposes.

Immanuel Quickley Resting On Wednesday
Immanuel Quickley (rest) will not suit up on Wednesday against the Brooklyn Nets. The team will rest Quickley on Wednesday, and he will likely return to the lineup for Friday's action against the Charlotte Hornets. Quickley has had quite a few rest days lately, with Jamal Shead coming into the starting lineup as his replacement on each occasion. Shead has proven to be an effective player and looks like a good addition to fantasy squads for Wednesday night. In a starting role, he has averaged 11.4 points and 6.0 assists.

Immanuel Quickley Won't Play On Sunday
Immanuel Quickley (rest) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The Raptors aren't playing for anything at this point, so they aren't going to risk the health of their young guard. Quickley played on Friday and looked solid with 20 points, five rebounds, and five assists in 25 minutes of action. The expectation is that Quickley will be back in action for the second leg of the back-to-back set on Monday. The absence of Quickely should mean that Jamal Shead and A.J. Lawson see increased playing time. Between the two, Lawson has been the more reliable of the two in terms of streaming appeal.
