Hansbrough will get the start at center Friday. This will be a one-time occurrence, as Jonas Valanciunas is away from the team following the birth of his son. Look for Hansbrough and Patrick Patterson to see similar minutes in the frontcourt Friday with Valanciunas off.

Hansbrough scored six points (1-2 FG, 4-4 FT) with five rebounds in just nine minutes off the bench Friday before getting ejected following an altercation with the Warriors' Festus Ezeli. He normally sees a handful of bench minutes each night, but if he receives any additional discipline from the NBA those minutes would likely fall to Chuck Hayes while Hansbrough is suspended. Either way, he's not someone you need to worry about in most leagues.

Hansbrough played 14 minutes off the bench Saturday, scoring four points (2-4 FG) with two rebounds. Jonas Valanciunas was limited to just 17 minutes Saturday due to an ankle injury, and if he ends up missing any games Hansbrough would be the most likely candidate to move into the starting lineup. He wouldn't see a huge increase in minutes in that case, as Patrick Patterson would see the bulk of the available court time, but Hansbrough could see a small uptick in his fantasy value.

Hansbrough scored 10 points (5-8 FG) with six rebounds and a block in 20 minutes off the bench Sunday. With the Raptors playing in the thin Denver air on the second night of a back-to-back, coach Dwane Casey leaned heavily on his bench and Hanbrough responded with a solid game. It's just the second time this season he's played 20 or more minutes, however, so don't expect a repeat performance any time soon.

Hansbrough (shoulder) was back in action after a five game absence Sunday, playing nine minutes off the bench. He missed his only shot attempt, but did pull down three rebounds. Hansbrough will probably settle back into his usual 14-18 minute range soon enough, but don't expect much fantasy production from him.

Hansbrough (shoulder) will not play in Friday's game against the Mavericks, the Toronto Sun reports. Hansbrough was able to practice Thursday but apparently is not well enough to play Friday. His next opportunity to get on the court will be against the Lakers on Sunday.

Hansbrough (shoulder) was able to practice Thursday and could take the court Friday against the Mavericks, the National Post reports. Hansbrough has been dealing with soreness in his shoulder and has missed Toronto's past four games as a result. He will likely have to clear morning shootaround and pregame warmups before he's officially active for Friday's game.

Hansbrough (shoulder) won't play Wednesday, TSN 1050's Josh Lewenberg reports. His shoulder is still sore, and his absence will allow for Patrick Patterson to continue to see solid run at the four and the five off the bench. Consider Hansbrough questionable for Friday's game against Dallas.

Hansbrough (shoulder) is still sore and will be a game-time decision Wednesday in Atlanta, TSN 1050's Josh Lewenberg reports. Amir Johnson and Patrick Patterson have had a pretty even split of the power forward minutes recently, and Hansbrough's return would mean the Raptors could deploy a bigger lineup when Jonas Valanciunas is off the court.

Hansbrough (shoulder) will miss his third straight game Monday against the Suns, Ryan Wolstat of the Toronto Sun reports. Hansbrough took a hard fall while battling for a rebound against the Grizzlies on Wednesday, and he'll remain out with a shoulder injury. The Raptors have not offered anything in the way of a timetable, so consider Hansbrough day-to-day until further notice. The North Carolina product is averaging a career-low 3.4 points and 3.8 rebounds while shooting 43.5 percent from the field this season.
