Unproductive in Friday's loss Boucher closed Friday's 128-123 overtime loss to the Lakers with six points (3-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt) and five rebounds in 17 minutes.

Impact Boucher's roller-coaster season continued in the loss, scoring just six points for the second straight game. Coming off a season-best performance against the Nuggets last Saturday, things have slowed considerably for Boucher. With so much uncertainty from one game to the next, managers battling in their playoffs are fine to move on from Boucher, although it's worth keeping an eye on his role moving forward.

Barnes, Raptors all over Lakers early in 114-103 win

Scottie Barnes scored 15 of his 21 points in the first quarter and the Toronto Raptors held off a late rally by the Los Angeles Lakers for a 114-103 victory

Big double-double off bench Boucher provided 21 points (8-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 13 rebounds, four blocks and one steal over 30 minutes during Saturday's 127-115 win over the Nuggets.

Impact The double-double was Boucher's seventh of the season and first since Feb. 3. The 29-year-old big continues to see erratic court time in Nick Nurse's rotation, with production to match, but Boucher's ability to pop for big numbers when he gets some run make him a viable DFS tournament option.

Moves back to bench Boucher will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.

Impact With Fred VanVleet (knee) set to rejoin the starting lineup after a five-game absence, Boucher will shift back to a reserve role. The 28-year-old posted 21 points in his last appearance and is averaging 9.0 points and 5.9 rebounds in 20.5 minutes per game this season.

Drops 21 points as starter Boucher racked up 21 points (8-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals over 36 minutes during Sunday's 104-96 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Boucher took on a starting role Sunday since Fred VanVleet (knee) and Malachi Flynn (hamstring) were sidelined, and he topped 20 points for the fourth time this season while coming within three rebounds of a double-double. With Flynn out indefinitely, Boucher's role going forward will be dependent on when VanVleet is able to return to the court. Boucher has been a solid fantasy contributor as a starter this year and should continue to see increased value if he draws additional starts.

Joins starting lineup Boucher is starting Sunday's game against the Cavaliers, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.

Impact With Fred VanVleet (knee) and Malachi Flynn (hamstring) sidelined Sunday, Scottie Barnes will start at point guard, which will open up a spot in the starting lineup for Boucher. He hasn't started since Jan. 25 but has averaged 6.3 points and 6.6 rebounds in 20.6 minutes per game across his last seven appearances.

Fails to impress in victory Boucher recorded eight points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and six rebounds over 19 minutes during Tuesday's 109-108 win over Brooklyn.

Impact Boucher logged his typical amount of minutes but was unable to bring much to the table Tuesday. The arrival of Thad Young has complicated matters for Boucher, especially when it comes to his fantasy upside. Along with Khem Birch and Precious Achiuwa, it appears the four players are simply going to cut into each other's playing time making them all tough players to trust in highly competitive leagues.

McCollum leads hot-shooting Pelicans past Raptors, 120-90

CJ McCollum scored 23 points, and the New Orleans Pelicans shot a season-best 58.4% to defeat the Toronto Raptors 120-90

Quality line off bench Boucher registered 16 points (4-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds and one steal over 23 minutes during Thursday's 139-120 victory over the Rockets.

Impact In a contest highlighted by an abundance of offense on both sides, Boucher shredded Houston inside, attempting a team-high eight free throws. The 29-year-old is a quality free-throw shooter, with a career clip of 78.4 percent. However, the Raptors acquired Thaddeus Young at the deadline Thursday, which will do no favors for Boucher's usage. His role is worth monitoring, but that acquisition hurts any deep-league appeal Boucher possessed.

Chris Boucher has become a dependable reserve for the Raptors without losing his agent-of-chaos style "It's never too late to do the right thing and figure out your game, find ways to be a winning team," Boucher said.

Comes close to double-double Boucher posted 11 points (4-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 19 minutes during Friday's 125-114 win over Atlanta.

Impact Boucher ended just two rebounds away from posting a double-double, but perhaps what's even more impressive is the fact that he was perfect from the field. He scored in double digits for the second game in a row, but he's been playing off the bench of late, and his production has taken a dive as a result. He's only averaging 7.0 points and 5.5 rebounds over his last six appearances while logging 20.7 minutes per contest.

Cools down in return to bench Boucher accumulated nine points (3-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds and two blocks over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 111-105 loss to the Bulls.

Impact Boucher shifted back to the bench Wednesday but still managed to log significant playing time. Unfortunately, he couldn't turn those minutes into meaningful production, something he has been able to do with some consistency of late. After a bumpy start to the season, Boucher appears to have entrenched himself back in the nightly rotation, and that alone makes him a must-roster player in just about every format.

Returns to bench Boucher will come off the bench Wednesday against the Bulls, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.

Impact Boucher started the front half of the back-to-back set Tuesday and put up 12 points (3-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, two steals and two blocks in 30 minutes, but he'll shift back to the bench with DeMar DeRozan (rest) rejoining the lineup. Boucher was playing well even before the spot start and averaged 14.8 points, 9.0 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.6 blocks in 30.8 minutes over the previous five games.
