3 years agoToronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (hip) remains out ahead of the matchup against Washington. Sunday's absence marks his ninth in a row as he continues to deal with a right hip pointer, and it comes on a night where Khem Birch (knee) and Goran Dragic (personal) also aren't available. The 24-year-old was having a fantastic 2021-22 campaign before succumbing to the ailment, averaging a career-high 20.1 points to go along with 5.4 boards, 2.7 assists, and 1.5 steals, so unquestionably, it's a significant loss for the team. Nonetheless, Toronto will likely continue to rely heavily on its starting unit against the Wizards, with Pascal Siakam, Scottie Barnes, and Fred VanVleet in line to handle things on the offensive end. Yet, Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk, Gary Trent Jr., and Previous Achiuwa deserve mentions for deeper seasonal formats.--Dennis Clausen - RotoBaller
