Flirts with double-double in loss

Olynyk played a few extra minutes, starting the second half after Jakob Poeltl was forced from the game due to a hip injury. Olynyk fell one rebound short of his first double-double of the season, an indication of what he can do when afforded meaningful minutes. If Poeltl is to miss additional time, Olynyk could find himself in the starting lineup or at least in a more sizeable role for the short-term.

Tallies 14 points Tuesday

Dick was serviceable yet again, scoring double-digits for the fourth straight game. During that time he has averaged 13.7 points and 1.7 three-pointers, adding very little in terms of peripheral production. He has certainly filled a role for the Raptors this season but his overall appeal remains somewhat limited.

Scores 13 points in spot start

Walter moved into the starting lineup, replacing RJ Barrett who was ruled out due to a concussion. He has now scored double-digits in three straight games, continuing to push his claim for increased playing time. While there is no guarantee Walter will continue to start, as long as Barrett remains sidelined, additional minutes should certainly be on the menu.

Leads G League team in scoring

Lawson's efficient scoring wasn't enough to propel the Raptors 905 to victory Tuesday. The two-way player is shooting 38.1 percent on 6.1 three-point attempts per contest this season.

Won't return Tuesday

Poeltl was able to play the first half of Tuesday's contest before leaving early due to a right hip injury. Kelly Olynyk has started the second half in his place. Poeltl's status for Wednesday's matchup with Memphis is uncertain.
