Rajakovic is coming off his best season in Toronto, leading the Raptors to a 46-36 record and their first playoff appearance since 2022. The continuity matters for fantasy purposes, especially after Toronto ranked third in the league in assists per game while leaning on a balanced core. <a class=\"rbPlayer nba\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoballer.com\/nba\/player\/20002662\/Scottie+Barnes\" data-id=\"20002662\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Scottie Barnes<\/a> remains the clearest beneficiary as a multi-category hub, while <a class=\"rbPlayer nba\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoballer.com\/nba\/player\/20002272\/RJ+Barrett\" data-id=\"20002272\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">RJ Barrett<\/a>, <a class=\"rbPlayer nba\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoballer.com\/nba\/player\/20001671\/Brandon+Ingram\" data-id=\"20001671\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Brandon Ingram<\/a>, and <a class=\"rbPlayer nba\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoballer.com\/nba\/player\/20002550\/Immanuel+Quickley\" data-id=\"20002550\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Immanuel Quickley<\/a> should continue to carry steady offensive roles if the roster stays intact.
