Boucher ended Monday's 104-99 loss to the Heat with 23 points (7-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 10 rebounds and two blocks over 38 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Boucher played superbly off the bench, as the center recorded his fourth double-double of the season by leading the team offensively and off the boards. The Oregon product's 23 points were also the most he has tallied since posting 28 points against the 76ers on Dec. 28. Across his past four outings, Boucher is averaging 15.3 points and 9.8 rebounds.

Boucher chipped in 13 points (4-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-8 FT), 16 rebounds and three blocks in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 99-95 loss to the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
Boucher was 0-for-3 from deep and is shooting just 22.8 percent from three on the season, but he was able to reach double figures thanks to efficient shooting from inside the arc and numerous trips to the free-throw line. He added a game-high 16 boards and notched his third double-double of the season. The 6-foot-9 big man was also a force defensively, blocking a season-high three shots. On the season, Boucher is averaging just 8.5 points and 5.5 rebounds per game, but he is certainly capable of producing explosive fantasy performances.

Boucher supplied six points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals across 28 minutes during Sunday's 105-101 victory over the Pelicans.
EDGE Analysis
Averaging 8.4 points and 5.1 rebounds per game, Boucher fell in line with his averages Sunday. He's buoying his value of late, averaging 1.5 steals and 1.3 blocks across five games in January. Boucher and Precious Achiuwa and Khem Birch all play similar roles within the Raptors scheme -- detracting each other from fantasy relevance in the process.

Boucher will come off the bench Friday against the Clippers, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Khem Birch returning from protocols, Boucher will return to a bench role. In his 22 appearances as a reserve this season, Boucher has averaged 6.3 points and 4.0 rebounds in 13.7 minutes.

Boucher finished with 28 points (10-14 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 19 rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 114-109 loss to Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
Boucher put together one of the best games of his career against, of all people, Joel Embiid -- a top defender in the NBA. Boucher had started the past six games before Tuesday's effort with averages of 13.8 points, 7.0 rebounds and 1.2 blocks. While at first glance this seems like it would be Boucher's best game, he posted 38 points, 19 rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block against the Bulls in April of last season.

Boucher and the Raptors will not play Wednesday against Chicago after the game was postponed, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
With OG Anunoby entering health and safety protocols Wednesday morning, the Raptors are up to eight players affected by COVID-19, putting them in jeopardy of having the minimum number required for the game to go on. As a result, the league will rescheduled the contest, meaning Toronto will now have off until Sunday's game at Cleveland. The hope is that by that time, other players will emerge from protocols, or the team will have a sufficient number of replacement players in place.

Boucher is starting Friday's game against the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
Boucher will join the starting lineup for a second straight game since Precious Achiuwa (shoulder) remains out. He totaled 11 points, seven rebounds and two blocks in 22 minutes during Wednesday's narrow loss to Oklahoma City.

Boucher recorded 11 points (4-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds and two blocks over 22 minutes during Wednesday's 110-109 loss to the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
Boucher moved into the starting lineup Wednesday, walking away with a serviceable performance. While this was a glimpse of what he can do when afforded sufficient playing time, it is certainly not all good news. The fact he managed just 22 minutes on a night when the Raptors were without OG Anunoby (hip), Khem Birch (knee) and Precious Achiuwa (shoulder), doesn't bode well for his long-term prospects. He is worth streaming while everyone is out, but beyond that, he is likely just a deeper league asset.

Boucher will start Wednesday's game against the Thunder, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Precious Achiuwa (shoulder) sidelined, Boucher will get the nod at center for his first start of the season. He's coming off of a strong, 14-point, six-rebound effort in just 18 minutes against the Wizards on Sunday night. On the whole, it's been a typically frustrating campaign for Boucher, who's capable of racking up defensive stats at an elite rate but has struggled to earn a consistent spot in Nick Nurse's nightly rotation.
