Ibaka (knee) is expected to play in Friday's game against the Celtics, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.

Ibaka missed Wednesday's game against the Pistons with a sore right knee, but it seems as though it will just be a one-game absence. It was initially reported that Ibaka was going to come off the bench prior to being ruled out, so it's uncertain if he will start or come off the bench in his return. An official ruling regarding his status will come out closer to Friday's game, but for now, all signs are pointing to Ibaka playing.

Green is suffering from back tightness and will not return to Wednesday's game against the Pistons, Eric Smith of Sportsnet 590 The Fan reports.

The severity of the injury is unknown at this time, and Green should be considered questionable for the Raptors next contest, Friday at Boston. More information should come out after Wednesday's game. Prior to suffering the injury, Green scored five points and grabbed 2 rebounds in 20 minutes.

Ibaka will not play Wednesday against the Pistons due to a sore right knee, Josh Lewenberg of TSN reports.

The Raptors initially announced that Ibaka would come off the bench, but it's since been clarified that he'll sit out altogether. Expect Pascal Siakam, OG Anunoby and perhaps Kawhi Leonard to see increased minutes, as a result. The Raptors will also be without another rotation wing in C.J. Miles.

Valanciunas will start Wednesday's game against the Pistons, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.

Valanciunas will get the starting nod after coming off the bench for the past three games. Valanciunas and Serge Ibaka have shared the starting center role the entire season, rotating in based on matchup. Valanciunas has held constant value over the season regardless of if he's starting or not and is averaging 13.0 points, 7.6 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.1 blocks on the season.

Ibaka will come off the bench Wednesday against the Pistons, Eric Smith of Sportsnet 590 The Fan reports.

Coach Nick Nurse continues to change his starting five based on matchup. Regardless of his status as a starter or bench player, Ibaka should hover around his average of 26.6 minutes per night.

Miles (groin) is listed as out for Wednesday's game against the Pistons.

Miles suffered a right adductor strain in Monday's loss to the Pelicans and did not return, and the fact that he has already been seemingly ruled out for Wednesday's contest is not a good sign. With Norman Powell (shoulder) already facing an absence of at least a month, the Raptors could be without some quality depth on the wing for quite some time, which may cause the team to recall Malachi Richardson from the G League.

Green managed just three points (1-4 FG, 1-4 3Pt), three rebounds and a steal in 22 minutes Monday against the Pelicans.

Green had his lowest scoring output of the season and failed to make significant contributions on the defensive end. Although he is in the midst of a four-game stretch where he has failed to crack double-digits scoring, he is generally able to have more of an impact with his defensive and three point production. Overall, Green is having a solid season, averaging 10.0 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.7 threes, 1.4 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.9 blocks per game and provides value in almost all formats with his cross-category production.

Siakam managed 22 points (8-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and totaled three rebounds, three blocks, an assist and a steal in 28 minutes Monday against the Pelicans.

Siakam had another strong game with his third-straight 20-plus point performance in a row. The third-year wing is in the midst of a breakout season and is now averaging 13.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.2 steals per game while shooting 63.4 percent from the field and 75.8 percent from the line in 27.9 minutes per game on the year -- all career bests. Siakam has firmly grabbed the starting power forward spot and is among the leagues most improved players in 2018-19. As long as he continues to play at this level, he is a must-own in standard formats.

Ibaka scored 19 points (8-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), grabbed 14 rebounds and dished out two assists in 26 minutes during Monday's loss to the Pelicans

Ibaka tied his season-high for rebounds in his third double-double of his past five games. The addition of Kawhi Leonard and coach Nick Nurse seem to have boosted Ibaka as he is having his best season since he left Oklahoma City. The veteran big man is averaging a career-high 17.9 points to go along with 7.9 rebounds, 1.3 blocks and 1.0 assist per game on the season and is an excellent mid-tier fantasy option going forward.

Leonard scored 20 points (7-20 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT) and added six rebounds, two assists a steal and a block in 33 minutes Monday against the Pelicans.

Leonard struggled shooting the ball, hitting just 7-of-20 shots from the field and 1-of-6 from behind the arc. Although his scoring volume was solid, this was the third straight game that Leonard has failed to crack 50 percent from the field. Leonard's shooting should bounce back soon, with his next opportunity being against the Pistons on Wednesday.

Lowry contributed just four points (1-9 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT) as well as 11 assists and two rebounds in 33 minutes Monday against the Pelicans.

Lowry had a rough night shooting the ball on Monday as he didn't hit a shot until late in the fourth quarter and finished with a season-low four points. On a positive note, he kept up his distribution totals, recording another 11 dimes and is now averaging a league-leading 11.0 helpers on the season. Monday withstanding, Lowry has been fantastic and is a primary component of the Raptors success this year. He looks to bounce back in the Raptors next game, Wednesday against the Pistons.

Miles suffered a right adductor strain and will not return to Monday's game against the Pelicans, Eric Smith of Sportsnet 590 The Fan reports.

Miles had three points and a block when he suffered the strain midway through the second quarter. The severity of the injury is unknown at this point, but if Miles misses an extended period, Delon Wright and Malachi Richardson could see a boost in minutes.
