Boucher tallied 11 points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 31 minutes during Friday's 113-102 win over the Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
The Raptors were without Pascal Siakam (rest), OG Anunoby (rest) and Gary Trent (ankle) on Friday, but it did not affect Boucher's production. The 28-year-old's box score nearly matched his season averages of 13.5 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.9 blocks. Boucher also earned five trips to the free-throw line, the most in his last six games.

Boucher went for 17 points (6-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 14 rebounds and four blocks across 30 minutes in Sunday's loss at the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
Boucher dominated the glass and the rim protection in this game, but he was also productive on the offensive end since he registered at least 15 points for the third time over his last four appearances. As a result, he now has two double-doubles over his last three appearances. The former Oregon product has started in each of Toronto's last six games and is averaging 16.8 points, 9.0 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game during that span.

Boucher scored 38 points (14-24 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 7-8 FT) and added 19 rebounds, one steal, one blocked shot and one assist across 36 minutes Thursday in a 122-113 loss to Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
Toronto had only eight players available for the contest, putting plenty of weight on Boucher and Pascal Siakam to carry the load against the Bulls. The pair combined for 65 points, with Boucher finishing with career-best marks in minutes, points and boards. The double-double was Boucher's ninth of the campaign and first since March 28.

Boucher recorded 19 points (7-16 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 110-101 loss to the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
Tuesday marked Boucher's first game with at least 19 points since March 17, where he recorded 21 points against the Pistons. Tuesday's game also marked his best rebounding performance since March 28, where he grabbed 11 boards against the Trail Blazers. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, Boucher's performances have been inconsistent. He struggles to put together several great games in a row, and coach Nick Nurse doesn't give him a consistent workload, either.

Boucher scored eight points (3-12 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT) to go along with five rebounds, three blocks, two steals and one assist across 20 minutes in Monday's win over the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
Boucher struggled mightily with his shot, particularly from beyond the arc. However, he continued to rack up defensive stats and has now combined to record six steals and five blocks across his last two games. Despite that strong production, Boucher is stuck in an inconsistent role, and therefore struggles to reliably produce any stats besides blocks in the box score.

Boucher will start Friday's game against the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
Boucher is making his first start since March 17. In his three starts this season, he's averaged 12.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 2.3 blocks in 26.3 minutes.

Boucher had 18 points (6-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 11 rebounds and one block in Sunday night's loss to the Trail Blazers.
EDGE Analysis
Boucher came off the bench behind Aron Baynes, but he vastly outpaced the veteran, notching his first double-double since Feb. 10. The Oregon product added one block in his 24 minutes, giving him at least one swat in nine of his last 10 games.

Boucher had 16 points (6-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and two blocks in Friday's loss to the Jazz.
EDGE Analysis
Returning to the bench after making a spot start Wednesday at Detroit, Boucher's minutes total took a hit (20 minutes), but he still managed multiple blocks for the fourth time in five games. Over his last seven games, Boucher is averaging 21.0 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.0 swats.

Boucher will move back to the bench for Friday's game against the Jazz, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Boucher moved into the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pistons, finishing with 21 points, five rebounds, three assists and four blocks in 29 minutes. But with OG Anunoby returning to action, the Raptors will revert back to their previous alignment with Pascal Siakam at center. Boucher's role could take a slight hit, but he still has plenty of upside in DFS contests.

Boucher ended with 21 points (10-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds, four blocks and three assists in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 116-112 loss to Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
Boucher replaced Aron Baynes in the starting lineup and certainly made the most of his opportunity. Despite playing just 24 minutes per night, Boucher is the 34th ranked player this season. The path to production has been far from smooth and that doesn't seem likely to change anytime soon. His value moving forward is slightly capped due to his inconsistent role and so if you could shift him for a top-40 player, it would be worth considering.
