RJ Barrett (knee) out Wednesday for Raptors
Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett (knee injury management) is out for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets.
What It Means:
Barrett will sit out the second leg of the back-to-back after scoring 23 points in 33 minutes on Tuesday. Kelly Olynyk will also be rested, but Immanuel Quickley will return after sitting out the first leg. Gary Trent Jr., Bruce Brown (knee), and Gradey Dick (groin) are all questionable for Toronto. Jordan Nwora should see more work with Barrett inactive on Wednesday night.
Nwora is averaging 20.7 minutes and 22.4 FanDuel points per game without Barrett this season, compared to 10.3 minutes and 8.3 FanDuel points when both players are active.
