Collin Murray-Boyles Downgraded to Questionable as Raptors Frontcourt Takes Another Hit
Underdog NBA reported: 'Collin Murray-Boyles (illness) downgraded to questionable Monday.'
forward has officially been downgraded to questionable for Monday's game with an illness. Underdog NBA broke the news, sending fantasy managers and prop bettors into their usual pregame scramble.
Getting sick in the middle of the NBA schedule is a standard occupational hazard, but it is starting to feel like is collecting minor ailments like trading cards.
The rookie already missed the season opener with a right forearm strain and previously spent time day-to-day with a sprained thumb. Now, a random Monday illness threatens to keep him in street clothes yet again. His medical chart is starting to read like a guy who lost a fight with a revolving door.
When he actually stays on the floor, the production is solid. He is putting up 9.6 points and 5.0 rebounds a night while shooting an efficient 49.2 percent from the field. Those are not exactly franchise-altering numbers, but they are the exact kind of reliable rotation stats a team desperately misses on a random weekday night.
If you are holding a ticket on any Raptors frontcourt props, this is your cue to pay attention to the final injury report.
When sits, the minutes usually trickle down to Sandro Mamukelashvili. That is the kind of domino effect that swings a daily fantasy lineup from a massive payout to a total donation.
We will see if the medical staff clears him after shootaround. If not, expect Mamukelashvili to get a heavy run while tries to finally catch a break from the injury bug.
