Iffy for Tuesday
Murray-Boyles (back) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against Detroit.
Analysis
Murray-Boyles is in jeopardy of missing a second consecutive contest due to lower-back spasms. If the rookie first-rounder is unable to play, Sandro Mamukelashvili and Jonathan Mogbo would be candidates to see increased burn in the frontcourt.

Ruled out with back spasms
Murray-Boyles (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Magic, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Analysis
Murray-Boyles sustained a back injury during Friday's win over the Pelicans. The rookie-first rounder was initially cleared to play Sunday but has apparently suffered a setback during pregame warmups, and he will look to progress enough in his recovery to return Tuesday against the Pistons. With Murray-Boyles sidelined, Sandro Mamukelashvili, Jonathan Mogbo and Trayce Jackson-Davis are all slated to see more minutes off the bench.

Cleared to play against Orlando
Murray-Boyles (back) is available for Sunday's game against Orlando, according to Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca.
Analysis
Murray-Boyles prematurely exited Friday's 119-106 win over New Orleans, ending his night after logging only 12 minutes. He was in danger of missing the contest against the Magic because of lower-back spasms. Fortunately, the 20-year-old is good to go. Murray-Boyles has averaged 9.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, 0.3 assists, 2.3 blocks and 0.7 steals across 17.7 minutes in March (three games). However, he could be more productive if RJ Barrett (shoulder) isn't available.

Questionable against Orlando
Murray-Boyles (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Orlando, according to Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca
Analysis
Murray-Boyles logged only 12 minutes in Friday's 119-106 win over New Orleans before he was ruled out for the remainder of the contest because of back spasms. If he can't suit up Sunday, Sandro Mamukelashvili should take on a more prominent role off the bench.

Exits early Friday
Murray-Boyles won't return to Friday's game against the Pelicans due to back spasms, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports. He'll finish with nine points (3-5 FG, 3-4 FT), two rebounds and one block across 12 minutes.
Analysis
Murray-Boyles won't play in the second half, opening the door for Sandro Mamukelashvili and Jonathan Mogbo to take on additional minutes the rest of the way. Murray-Boyles' next opportunity to play will come Sunday against the Magic.

Five swats in return
Murray-Boyles (thumb) registered nine points (3-5 FG, 3-5 FT), five blocks, four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 17 minutes Monday in the Raptors' 143-127 win over the Jazz.
Analysis
Suiting up for the first time since Feb. 25 following an 11-game absence due to a left thumb sprain, Murray-Boyles came through with a magnificent line for fantasy managers who streamed him for defensive stats. With averages of 1.0 blocks and 0.9 steals in 22.1 minutes per game on the season, Murray-Boyles has shown he can be an asset in those two categories when given meaningful run, but it's difficult to envision his minutes picking up much from here. Even with Jakob Poeltl (back) sitting out the second leg of a back-to-back set, Sandro Mamukelashvili still started at center over Murray-Boyles and played 32 minutes, and backup big man Jamison Battle (23 minutes) also saw extended run. Murray-Boyles' outlook won't improve if Poeltl is ready to play in the Raptors' next game Wednesday versus the Clippers.
