Raptors' Collin Murray-Boyles: Fills stat sheet Monday
Rotowire
Murray-Boyles produced 17 points (8-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and three steals over 31 minutes during Monday's 118-100 win over the Hawks.
The rookie first-rounder put together arguably his best performance of the season Monday, finishing with a season high in assists while matching his season highs in blocks and steals. Murray-Boyles also led the Raptors with a plus-24 point differential, and his strong play could have him remain in the Raptors' starting lineup ahead of Sandro Mamukelashvili for as long as Jakob Poeltl (back) is sidelined.
Murray-Boyles will start Saturday's game against the Hawks.
Murray-Boyles will be replacing Ochai Agbaji in the first unit. In four previous starts this season, the rookie posted averages of 8.5 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 0.8 steals.

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.

Rotowire
