Boucher (illness) participated in Monday's practice session, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Boucher missed Saturday's loss to the Hawks due to a non-COVID illness, but it sounds like he is recovering well ahead of Toronto's next game Wednesday against the Nets. Assuming Boucher clears the injury report before then, he should return to his usual role in the frontcourt rotation.

Boucher has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Atlanta due to a non-COVID illness, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Boucher appeared in each of the last 13 games, but he'll be sidelined due to his illness Saturday. However, he'll have several days to recover before the Raptors return home to face the Nets on Wednesday. The Raptors are devastated by injuries at the moment, so the team may need to turn to at least Thaddeus Young, and Juancho Hernangomez a lot in the frontcourt, with Scottie Barnes likely seeing as many minutes as he can handle with both frontcourt and backcourt depleted and Christian Koloko and Khem Birch providing frontcourt depth.

Boucher notched 15 points (4-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-9 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and one steal over 25 minutes during Wednesday's 112-104 win over the Heat.

EDGE Analysis

Boucher notched his second double-double of the 2022-23 campaign by shooting the ball well from the field and by crashing the glass. He collected eight of his 10 rebounds on the defensive end, leading his team in that category. Boucher has now scored in double figures in four straight contests and has recorded at least one steal in each matchup.

Boucher closed with 20 points (7-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 31 minutes during Monday's 115-111 win over the Pistons.

EDGE Analysis

Boucher has been rolling on the offensive end, and he enjoyed another efficient shooting night Monday on the way to a victory. He's finished with 19 or more points in each of his last three contests, and he's also been a factor on the defensive end by recording at least one steal over this brief stretch.

Boucher produced 20 points (6-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals across 31 minutes during Friday's 132-113 loss to the Thunder.

EDGE Analysis

Boucher has yet to start a game for Toronto and was enduring a rough stretch -- he scored a combined 10 points over his previous three outings -- before delivering a season-best scoring output here. Boucher has scored at least 17 points in three of his last six contests, but he lacks the consistency on a game-to-game basis to become a reliable fantasy asset in most formats.

Boucher amassed zero points (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-2 FT) and three rebounds in 14 minutes during Monday's 111-97 loss to the Bulls.

EDGE Analysis

Boucher hadn't tallied fewer than eight points in a game prior to Monday's effort, so it's best to view this as an outlier showing. Boucher still averages 10.5 points and 4.8 boards per game in just over 20 minutes per contest and should remain a consistent part of the team's rotation moving forward.

Boucher provided 17 points (6-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one block across 30 minutes during Friday's 111-110 loss to the Mavericks.

EDGE Analysis

Prior to Wednesday, Boucher had failed to attempt 10-plus field goals in a contest. He launched a season-high 13 attempts Friday while providing his most well-rounded stat line yet. Boucher is a candidate to carry his momentum into a strong contest Sunday, especially if Pascal Siakam (groin) sits.

Boucher contributed 17 points (7-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt), eight rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 143-100 win over the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

Boucher turned in another productive effort Wednesday, popping for a season-high 17-and-8. While this is undoubtedly a well-rounded fantasy line, the opposition must be factored in. He is now a top-80 player for the season, although the bulk of his value comes from efficiency and a lack of turnovers. We know he can be productive even in limited minutes, so while he is not necessarily a must-roster player, he can be streamed across most competitive formats.

Boucher chipped in 11 points (4-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 21 minutes during Monday's 139-109 win over the Hawks.

EDGE Analysis

Boucher logged at least 20 minutes for the second straight game, flashing his per-minute upside in the process. While this does feel like his ceiling in terms of playing time, we have seen him put up 12-team value in the past, despite playing just 20 minutes. He is more of a name to watch right now but he could certainly be streamed in if you are feeling lucky.

Boucher (hamstring) will be available for Monday's game against the Heat, Doug Smith of the Toronto Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

After missing the first three games of the season, Boucher was trending in the right direction prior to Monday's matchup. He apparently felt good after the Raptors' morning shootaround Monday and has been cleared to make his season debut against Miami. The 29-year-old could be in line for a significant workload since Otto Porter (hamstring) is out and Scottie Barnes (ankle) is a game-time decision.
