Raptors' Gradey Dick: Listed as questionable
Dick (calf) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pacers.
Dick participated in Monday's practice after missing the past four games for Toronto, though it was described as a light session. If Dick is unable to go Tuesday, coach Darko Rajakovic said Monday that he expects to have Dick back in the lineup at some point this week.

Raptors' Gradey Dick: Participates in practice
Dick (calf) participated in Monday's practice, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
Monday's season was a light non-contact practice, but Dick continues to progress in the right direction after missing the past four games. Toronto coach Darko Rajakovic expects to have Dick back in the lineup at some point this week, but his status for Tuesday's game against Indiana remains in the air.

Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Records 12th double-double
Poeltl racked up 17 points (6-12 FG, 5-8 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals over 37 minutes during Sunday's 119-116 win over Miami.
Poeltl has quietly crept into the top 10 in the double-double rankings, besting usual residents like Bam Adebayo, Rudy Gobert and Evan Mobley in the category. Although Scottie Barnes and RJ Barrett are Toronto's current standouts, Poeltl possesses the steadiest floor on the team. He's dipped below 10 points five times this season and has recorded less than 10 rebounds only six times.

Raptors' Scottie Barnes: Notches double-double in win
Barnes registered 23 points (9-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 10 rebounds and nine assists across 35 minutes during Sunday's 119-116 win over the Heat.
Barnes followed up Friday's triple-double with another impressive result. He's hit the double-double threshold in four of six games since his return to action and is carrying the load for the Raptors with RJ Barrett posting incredible numbers alongside him.

Raptors' RJ Barrett: Explodes for 37 points
Barrett racked up 37 points (15-20 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and one block across 38 minutes during Sunday's 119-116 victory over the Heat.
Barrett's numbers have been brilliant recently, and the return of Scottie Barnes hasn't affected the former's production in the slightest. Sunday's total came two points short of his season high, which he recorded two weeks ago against the Pacers. The powerful one-two punch of Barrett and Barnes will serve the Raptors well as they try to stay competitive in the Eastern Conference.

Raptors' Kelly Olynyk: Reconditioning for return
Olynyk (back), who has already been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Heat, is ramping up his conditioning for a return to game action, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
There is no clear timetable for Olynyk's return, and he has yet to make his season debut. However, the veteran big man will work toward regaining his conditioning in practice as the club prepares to slowly work him back from a back strain.

Raptors' Immanuel Quickley: Still limited to individual drills
Coach Darko Rajakovic said Sunday that Quickley (elbow) remains limited to individual drills, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
As expected, Quickley is expected to remain out until mid-December at the earliest, despite some initial optimistic return timelines. The fourth-year guard was diagnosed with a partial UCL tear in his left elbow in mid-November, and for now, there's no surgery planned. Quickley has been limited to only three appearances in his first full season in Toronto, missing eight straight games with a right pelvic contusion before suffering the elbow injury.

Brown (knee), who has already been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Heat, is ramping up his conditioning for a return to game action, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Brown has yet to make his season debut while recovering from a procedure on his right knee, and there's still no timetable for his return. However, the 28-year-old is potentially nearing a return to game action as he regains his conditioning.

Raptors' Gradey Dick: Progressing toward return
Dick (calf), who has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Heat, is improving and expected to practice fully sometime this week, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Dick will miss his fourth consecutive outing Sunday as the team ramps him back up to playing form due to a left calf contusion. The second-year swingman is still considered day-to-day, but he is likely nearing a return to game action sooner rather than later. Dick's next chance to play will come Tuesday against Indiana.

Raptors' Kelly Olynyk: Debut will not come Sunday
Olynyk (back) will not play in Sunday's game versus the Heat, Ryan Wolstat of the Toronto Sun reports.
Olynyk has been working to return from a back strain and make his season debut. He had only taken part in non-contact drills as of Nov. 22, and it remains unclear what he has been able to do since. His next opportunity to return will come Tuesday in a matchup with the Pacers.

Raptors' Gradey Dick: Ruled out vs. Heat
Dick (calf) will remain sidelined for Sunday's matchup with Miami, Ryan Wolstat of the Toronto Sun reports.
Dick's absence will mark his fourth straight game sidelined due to a left calf contusion. Both Davion Mitchell and Ja'Kobe Walter have started in his absence and figure to again see increased workloads as a result. Dick's next opportunity to suit up will come Tuesday against Indiana.

Raptors' Bruce Brown: Will not return vs. Heat
Brown (knee) will remain sidelined for Sunday's matchup with the Heat, Ryan Wolstat of the Toronto Sun reports.
Brown has been nearing his season debut, but that will have to wait at least one more game. It seems as though Toronto is working to get his conditioning up to par. The wing's next chance to return to the court will come Tuesday versus the Pacers.

Raptors' RJ Barrett: Puts up 25 points
Barrett notched 25 points (10-18 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds and seven assists in 39 minutes during Friday's 121-111 loss to the Heat.
Barrett led the Raptors in scoring Friday, and he continues to deliver consistent high-end numbers every time he steps on the hardwood. Even though Scottie Barnes and Jakob Poeltl have been productive fantasy options as well, Barrett has strong upside in his own right and has been living up to the hype. He's scored at least 20 points in six of his last eight games, averaging 24.6 points, 7.0 assists and 6.9 rebounds per game in that stretch.

Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Posts another double-double
Poeltl fouled out of Friday's 121-111 loss to the Heat after recording 24 points (10-11 FG, 4-5 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and one block over 32 minutes.
Poeltl fouled out Friday but still managed to record his ninth double-double of the month. The big man is averaging 16.6 points and 11.7 rebounds, to go along with 2.4 assists, 1.3 blocks and 1.2 steals per game, since the beginning of November. He's also recorded at least 20 points five times, so he has a sizable role as a scoring option for Toronto.

Raptors' Scottie Barnes: Posts triple-double Friday
Barnes registered 24 points (8-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 10 rebounds, 10 assists, one block and one steal over 38 minutes during Friday's 121-111 loss to Miami.
Barnes recorded his first triple-double of the season Friday, though that shouldn't surprise anyone given the numbers he'd been posting in recent games. He was coming off two straight double-doubles with seven assists in his previous two contests, against the Pistons and Pelicans, and he remains the go-to player for the Raptors on offense. Barnes is averaging 21.4 points, 9.2 rebounds and 7.4 assists per game since returning from an 11-game absence due to an eye injury Nov. 21.
