Fantasy basketball analysis: Toronto Raptors G Norman Powell
The Raptors just can’t stay healthy, man. This is another tough blow, but one that Toronto should be able to sustain. The team recently lost Marc Gasol to a hamstring injury again, so the bodies are starting to pile up a bit again. Luckily it seems Fred VanVleet and Kyle Lowry are fine, plus Terence Davis has really played well off the bench. Davis is an intriguing option in deeper fantasy basketball formats as a waiver claim. He’s averaging 15.7 points, 7.4 rebounds and 4.0 assists per 36 minutes this season. So if Davis gets additional playing time, he could pay off in fantasy.
