Toronto Raptors forwards/centers Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb) and Sandro Mamukelashvili (rib) are available for Thursday's game against Chicago, but their upside hinges on minutes in a crowded frontcourt with Jakob Poeltl active. Over his last five games, Murray-Boyles averaged 9.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.4 steals, and 1.6 blocks in 25.7 minutes, flashing category juice if the workload holds. Mamukelashvili posted 15.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 2.8 threes in 25.3 minutes across that span. Both carry deep-league appeal, yet Poeltl's presence caps ceilings, leaving Scottie Barnes as the safest frontcourt play.

Toronto Raptors center Sandro Mamukelashvili (rib) is listed as questionable for Thursday's matchup with the Bulls in the Windy City, due to a right rib contusion. The Raptors just got Jakob Poeltl back in action before the break, and he'll probably remain on a minutes restriction for a while. Mamukelashvili and Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb, probable) will continue to share time behind Poeltl if they're both available on Thursday, making each a high-risk play if everyone is healthy. Mamukelashvili definitely brings potential when he gets work, but his role is uncertain even if he does play through this rib injury on Thursday.

Toronto Raptors forward/center Sandro Mamukelashvili (ribs) is questionable for Thursday's contest against the Chicago Bulls. The Georgian big man has made 13 consecutive appearances but may have to exit the lineup on Thursday due to a right rib contusion. Mamukelashvili has formed a solid one-two punch with Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb) at center for Toronto during Jakob Poeltl's absence. With Poeltl now back in the mix, the two will have smaller roles on the team. Murray-Boyles will likely see a bit more action against Chicago if Mamukelashvili can't play.

Toronto Raptors forward/center Sandro Mamukelashvili (illness) will return from a one-game absence on Friday versus the Los Angeles Clippers. The Georgian big man has been battling an illness this week and didn't play on Wednesday night against the Indiana Pacers. With Jakob Poeltl (back) out, Mamukelashvili will work in tandem with Collin Murray-Boyles at the five position. The two face a mediocre matchup on Friday against the Clippers.

Tony East of Forbes.com reports that Toronto Raptors forward/center Sandro Mamukelashvili (illness) will miss Wednesday's matchup with the Indiana Pacers. Mamukelashvili is under the weather and will miss his second game this campaign. In recent weeks, the 26-year-old big man has seen extra playing time with Jakob Poeltl (back) on the shelf. He's posted averages of 9.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 3.0 assists in 23.8 minutes per contest during January. With Mamukelashvili sidelined, Jonathan Mogbo and Jamison Battle will likely be relied upon more than usual. Current starting center Collin Murray-Boyles could take on extra minutes as well.

Toronto Raptors forward/center Sandro Mamukelashvili (illness) may skip Wednesday's meeting with the Indiana Pacers, as he is considered questionable for the game. Mamukelashvili has picked up an illness bug, putting him at risk of missing his second game of the season. In recent weeks, Mamukelashvili has had a larger role in the rotation due to Jakob Poeltl's (back) absence. The 26-year-old has averaged 9.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 3.0 assists across 23.8 minutes per game in January. If Mamukelashvili doesn't shake off his illness by game time, Jonathan Mogbo and Jamison Battle could see more action. Current starting center Collin Murray-Boyles will probably also soak up some of his minutes.

Toronto Raptors forward Collin Murray-Boyles (illness) won't play on Thursday versus the Cavs. The rookie has had a decent rookie campaign, averaging 8.8 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 50.0% shooting from behind the arc. He has appeared in the last nine games for the Raptors. However, Murray-Boyles will sit this one out because of an illness. Fortunately, Sandro Mamukelashvili (neck) will suit up, which will help lessen the blow caused by Murray-Boyles' absence. With that said, Jakob Poeltl is available, so neither player can be trusted for fantasy production.

Toronto Raptors forward/center Sandro Mamukelashvili (back) remains on the injury report with a questionable tag ahead of Thursday's encounter with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Due to a back issue, he was also listed as questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Brooklyn Nets. Toronto ruled him out for the contest ahead of tip-off, resulting in Mamukelashvili's first absence this season. The 26-year-old has been fairly productive as a reserve in Canada, averaging 9.0 points and 3.4 rebounds in 17.8 minutes. On Thursday, Mamukelashvili could be joined on the sidelines by Collin Murray-Boyles(illness), meaning starting center Jakob Poeltl might be in for a very busy night. Jonathan Mogbo would then likely take on the backup minutes at center.

Toronto Raptors forward Sandro Mamukelashvili (neck) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Brooklyn Nets due to neck stiffness. The versatile big man has appeared in all 10 games this season, averaging nine points, three rebounds, and nearly two assists in under 18 minutes per game. Mamukelashvili has been quietly efficient, shooting 58 percent from the field and adding an occasional three-pointer, but his fantasy value remains tied to playing time. With Jakob Poeltl healthy and both Collin Murray-Boyles and Jonathan Mogbo competing for front-court minutes, Sandro's role has been inconsistent. If he's cleared to play, he could still carve out value in deeper leagues as a low-turnover big who chips in across categories. In standard formats, he's more of a watch-list option, unless Toronto opens up additional minutes in the second unit.

Free-agent forward/centerSandro Mamukelashvili signed a two-year, $5.5 million contract with a second-year player option with the Toronto Raptors, per Shams Charania of ESPN. Mamukelashvili spent the last two campaigns with the Spurs, posting averages of 6.3 points and 3.1 rebounds in 11.2 minutes per contest during 61 regular-season games. He also shot 50.2 percent from the field and 37.3 percent from three-point range. The 26-year-old will provide the Raptors with more depth at center behind starting big man Jakob Poeltl.

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Sandro Mamukelashvili has drawn a lot of praise for his performances at the FIBA World Cup. Playing for Georgia, the 24-year-old has averaged 13.0 points with 5.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 27.3 minutes. His efforts include a 21-point performance against Luka Doncic and Slovenia. "I believe that he has a great future," Georgia national team head coach Ilias Zouros said at the tournament. "He can do good things. He of course needs to improve some parts of his game, but he's young and I think he can be one of the top players not (just) in Europe, but in the world." Zouros is, of course, a bit biased in his assessment of Mamukelashvili's ability, but the former second-round pick has been playing well at the World Cup and didn't look out of place in the NBA either when Spurs picked him up off waivers last season. Mamukelashvili averaged 10.8 points and 6.8 rebounds in 23.3 minutes, earning himself a new one-year, $2 million deal.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Sandro Mamukelashvili had a fantastic Summer League and was rewarded by being included in the 2022 All-Summer League First Team. Over five games in Las Vegas, he averaged 17 points, 8.9 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game while shooting a remarkable 47.6% from three-point range. The 6'9" 23-year-old is currently entering the second year of his two-year, two-way contract with the Bucks. He averaged just 9.9 minutes per game in the 41 NBA games he appeared in last year. The highlight of his season came in the team's final game when he scored 28 points and added 13 boards over 43 minutes. He'll likely see minimal playing time once again this year unless the team suffers some key injuries.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Sandro Mamukelashvili had a massive game in Monday's Summer League contest against the Boston Celtics. He scored 28 points while racking up nine rebounds, two assists, three steals and two blocks. He shot 9-for-19 from the field, 3-for-5 from three-point range and 7-for-10 from the free throw line. Mamukelashvili showed some promising flashes as a rookie last year when given the chance, but those chances were few and far between. In the team's final game of the regular season last year, he racked up 28 points and 13 rebounds over 43 minutes of play. He has his work cut out for him to earn a rotation spot but if he can, he has a chance to be a source of points, rebounds and three-pointers for fantasy managers.

Milwaukee Bucks power forward/center Sandro Mamukelashvili (illness) has been ruled out for the second straight game, giving the team limited frontcourt depth vs. Dallas. Mamukelashvili's absence Wednesday forced the Bucks to deploy a smaller lineup for most of the contest with DeMarcus Cousins and Thanasis Antetokounmpo holding down the center spot. Cousins played 28 minutes, but that significant of a minutes total on the second leg of a back-to-back seems unlikely, dampening his DFS appeal somewhat. Mamukelashvili played a career-best 42 minutes and dropped 17 points Saturday, but he remains a DFS-only option at this stage, primarily when Milwaukee is shorthanded. His next chance to suit up comes Saturday against the Celtics.

Milwaukee Bucks power forward/center Sandro Mamukelashvili (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against the Rockets. Mamukelashvili is coming off the best professional outing of his career Saturday, in which he dropped 17 points across 42 minutes. His absence is the latest for a Milwaukee squad that has had its depth tested by injury and the league's health and safety protocols, with DeMarcus Cousins and Thanasis Antetokounmpo set to hold down the center minutes without Mamukelashvili available. The rookie has been primarily a DFS option when injuries dictate, with his next chance to suit up coming Thursday vs. Dallas.
