Raptors' Collin Murray-Boyles: First double-double of NBA career
Rotowire
Murray-Boyles registered 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt), 13 rebounds, three steals and one block over 25 minutes during the Raptors' 112-91 win over the Heat on Tuesday.
Murray-Boyles played a key role for the Raptors on both ends of the floor, posting a game-high four stocks while grabbing a career-high 13 boards, nine of which came on the offensive glass. His layup in the final minute of the fourth quarter brought him past the double-digit point threshold, thus giving the rookie first-rounder the first double-double of his NBA career. Jakob Poeltl could be facing a multi-game absence due to a back strain that he aggravated against the Nets on Sunday, which means Murray-Boyles should see an expanded role as the first big man off the bench behind Sandro Mamukelashvili in the short term.

Raptors' Collin Murray-Boyles: Fares well in 19 minutes
Rotowire
Murray-Boyles closed with eight points (4-8 FG), five rebounds and two assists across 19 minutes during Sunday's 96-81 loss to the Nets.
Jakob Poeltl (back) returned from a two-game absence Sunday, only to leave the game for good after seven minutes due to a setback. That could mean a few more minutes per game for the rookie if Poeltl misses time, but Murray-Boyles' fantasy appeal has been lacking recently. Over his last five games, Murray-Boyles is averaging 6.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 0.6 blocks in 19.0 minutes per contest.

Murray-Boyles played just six minutes Sunday but was able to lead all bench players with 22 minutes Tuesday.

Rotowire
Murray-Boyles had 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 16 minutes during Thursday's 123-120 loss to the Lakers.
Considering he saw just 16 minutes, this was quite the line from the rookie. His fantasy production has left a lot to be desired for the most part, though that's mainly due to low minutes. Through 18 games, he's averaging 7.4 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 0.7 steals in 18.0 minutes per night.
