Raptors' Jamal Shead: Shifting to bench for Game 3
Shead isn't in the starting lineup for Game 3 against Cleveland on Thursday, Serena Winters of FanDuel Sports Network Ohio reports.
Shead caught fire from beyond the arc in Game 1, but he was unable to replicate that same production in Game 2, as he was held to three points on 1-for-5 from deep. As a result, Ja'Kobe Walter will get the nod in the starting lineup Thursday, bumping Shead to a bench role.

Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Joining starting five
Walter is starting Game 3 against Cleveland on Thursday, Serena Winters of FanDuel Sports Network Ohio reports.
Walter provided a spark off the bench in Game 2, and he evidently showed enough to receive an opportunity with the first unit while Immanuel Quickley (hamstring) remains sidelined. Jamal Shead will retreat to the bench with Walter starting.

Raptors' Immanuel Quickley: Listed out for Game 3
Quickley (hamstring) has been ruled out for Game 3 against the Cavaliers on Thursday, Danny Cunningham of Sports Radio 92.3 The Fan Cleveland reports.
Quickley has yet to play in this series, and he'll need to wait at least until Sunday's Game 4 to do so. Jamal Shead has started the first two games in Quickley's place and should be the favorite to do so again Thursday night, though Ja'Kobe Walter could also be heavily involved after dropping 14 points off the bench in Game 2.

Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Available to play
Walter (illness) is available to play for Thursday's Game 3 against the Cavaliers, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Walter was able to shake off his questionable tag for this contest. Through two games, he's averaging 10.5 points, 1.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 0.5 steals in 28.0 minutes per contest.

Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Iffy for Thursday
Walter (illness) is questionable for Thursday's Game 3 against the Cavaliers, Ryan Wolstat of the Toronto Sun reports.
The series will shift to Toronto as the Raptors aim to avoid falling into a 3-0 hole, though they may be without Walter. If the second-year guard is ruled out, Jamal Shead and A.J. Lawson would likely see increased minutes, especially if Immanuel Quickley (hamstring) remains out.

Raptors' Immanuel Quickley: Questionable for Game 3
Quickley (hamstring) is questionable for Game 3 on Thursday against the Cavaliers, per Ryan Wolstat of the Toronto Sun.
The Raptors are giving Quickley a chance to return from a three-game absence with a right hamstring strain. His return would most significantly cut into the playing time of Jamal Shead and Ja'Kobe Walter, the latter of whom is also iffy for Thursday's pivotal contest due to an illness.

Raptors' Sandro Mamukelashvili: Double-doubles off bench
Mamukelashvili chipped in 12 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and one steal over 21 minutes during Monday's 115-105 loss to the Cavaliers in Game 2 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
With Jakob Poeltl being ineffective once again, the Raptors leaned heavily on Mamukelashvili and Collin Murray-Boyles off the bench. With the team starting a 2-0 deficit, lineup/rotation changes could be on the table for Toronto.

Raptors' Brandon Ingram: Disappears in Game 2 defeat
Ingram tallied seven points (3-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Monday's 115-105 Game 2 loss to Cleveland in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Monday was a disappointing performance from the first-time All-Star, with Ingram failing to score a point in the first half while missing all six of his field-goal attempts. He also committed a team-high five turnovers, and that lack of efficiency from the field held the Raptors back from making a comeback in the fourth quarter. Game 3 of the series unfolds Toronto on Thursday, and Ingram has been better at home this season than on the road. He averaged 23.4 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 2.0 threes, 0.7 steals and 0.7 blocks over 34.7 minutes across 38 regular-season games at Scotiabank Arena.

Raptors' RJ Barrett: Near double-double in Game 2 loss
Barrett recorded 22 points (10-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds and five assists over 38 minutes during Toronto's 115-105 Game 2 loss against the Cavaliers on Monday in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Barrett was rebound shy from logging a double-double and had another efficient performance from the floor Monday, finishing as the Raptors' second-leading scorer behind Scottie Barnes (26 points). Barrett has gone 17-for-26 (65.4 percent) from the field over the first two games of the series, and the Raptors will need that efficiency in Game 3 on Thursday if the team wishes to avoid going down 3-0 in the series.

Raptors' Collin Murray-Boyles: Plays key role off bench Monday
Murray-Boyles logged 17 points (6-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 26 minutes during the Raptors' 115-105 Game 2 loss to the Cavaliers in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Just like in Game 1 on Saturday, Murray-Boyles led the reserves in scoring and finished third on the Raptors in that category behind Scottie Barnes (26 points) and RJ Barrett (22 points). Although he operated in a reserve role, Murray-Boyles' playing time was noticeably greater than Jakob Poeltl, the latter of whom saw just nine minutes of court time and didn't see the floor whatsoever in the second half. Given the discrepancy in minutes between the two big men, it's possible that Murray-Boyles gets the starting nod for Game 3 on Thursday in Toronto.

Raptors' Scottie Barnes: Leads Raps with 26 points in Game 2
Barnes posted 26 points (11-19 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five assists, four rebounds, two steals and one block over 40 minutes during the Raptors' 115-105 Game 2 loss to the Cavaliers in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Barnes was held scoreless in the first quarter but was more active offensively over the final three frames of Monday's loss to finish as the Raptors' leading scorer. He was also active on the defensive side of the floor with three combined blocks and steals. Barnes has scored 20-plus points in each of the first two games of the series, and he'll had back to Toronto for Game 3 as he looks to help his team avoid going down 3-0.

Raptors' Immanuel Quickley: Won't play Monday
Quickley (hamstring) won't play in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference first-round series on Monday against the Cavaliers, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Quickley is unable to overcome a right hamstring strain, which will have cost him each of Toronto's first two playoff contests. The Raptors will hope to get him back in the lineup Thursday, when the series flips to Toronto for Game 3. Jamal Shead and Ja'Kobe Walter are both primed for more usage in the backcourt Monday.
