Thaddeus Young will move into the starting five ahead of Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. This is a surprising move considering Young has played a total of 34 minutes in eight appearances this season. The Raptors are going to be without
Jakob Poeltl (ankle) for at least two weeks. That means,
Chris Boucher and apparently Young are going to play bigger roles in the rotation. Young is starting, but Boucher is the much more trustworthy streaming option between the two.

1 year agoToronto Raptors forward/center
Thaddeus Young (illness) is considered doubtful for Tuesday's meeting with Orlando. The veteran has missed the past two games with an illness and still isn't feeling 100 percent. In his 17th year in the league, Young has mostly taken up a mentorship role on the Raptors team, appearing in only three games and logging just a handful of minutes. His absence doesn't impact fantasy basketball in any way.

Thaddeus Young (knee) is listed as questionable on Thursday due to a left knee sprain. The former lottery pick has seen his minutes fluctuate a lot this season and has taken on a lesser role with
Jakob Poeltl entering the mix. Head coach Nick Nurse did say earlier this week that he expected Young to play on Thursday, so managers that might need him should just check back for updates leading up to tipoff. It's not recommended to start Young in any fantasy format right now though.

2 years agoThe Toronto Raptors have decided to start
Thaddeus Young Wednesday against the Sacramento Kings. The Raptors seem to have felt
Domantas Sabonis would be too much for rookie center
Christian Koloko and moved him to the second unit. In eight starts this year, Young has produced 9.9 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.8 steals in 27.4 minutes per game. With
OG Anunoby (hip) out for at least the next week, Young could be a valuable streaming option.
