Raptors' Brandon Ingram: Flirts with double-double
Rotowire
Ingram chipped in 25 points (7-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 8-8 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one block over 32 minutes during Sunday's 136-101 victory over Brooklyn.
The Raptors limited Ingram to just 32 minutes in the regular season finale, and one more rebound would have earned him his third double-double of the season. After enduring six long seasons with the Pelicans, Ingram finally gets another chance to return to the playoffs. He has played in only 10 playoff games over his 10-year career, all of which came during his tenure with New Orleans. Ingram has been a top-notch contributor for Toronto and stayed healthy, averaging 21.5 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 0.8 steals over 77 games.

Rotowire

Raptors' Brandon Ingram: Efficient in Tuesday's win
Rotowire
Ingram finished Tuesday's 121-95 victory over the Heat with 23 points (9-16 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists and two steals across 29 minutes.
Ingram scored all 23 of his points through the first three quarters (including 15 in the first half) to finish as the Raptors' second-leading scorer behind Scottie Barnes (25). It was an encouraging scoring performance out of Ingram, who has scored 20-plus points in just two of his last nine outings despite connecting on 49.6 percent of his field-goal attempts over that span. The Raptors will need Ingram's best over the final week of the regular season as the team looks to avoid the Play-In Tournament.

Ingram got off to a rough start, scoring just three points on 1-for-7 shooting through the first half of action, but he was able to find his footing after halftime. Still, the end result was a loss, dropping the Raptors to the No. 7 seed in the East with a record of 43-35 as they head into a two-game series against the 41-37 No. 10-seeded Heat.

Rotowire
Ingram supplied 17 points (6-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and one block across 26 minutes during Friday's 128-96 win over the Grizzlies.
After sitting out the Raptors' last game to tend to a nagging heel issue, Ingram was productive in his return, and his numbers would likely have been even better in a more competitive contest. The 28-year-old guard has scored in double digits in nine of his last 10 games, averaging 20.5 points, 4.8 boards, 2.6 assists, 1.9 threes and 1.3 combined steals and blocks while shooting 50.0 percent from the floor and 44.2 percent from downtown.

Raptors' Brandon Ingram: Taking seat Wednesday
Rotowire
Ingram won't play Wednesday against the Kings due to right heel inflammation management, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Ingram will receive a maintenance day for the second leg of the Raptors' back-to-back set after logging 22 points (7-15 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT) and one rebound over 31 minutes during the Raptors' 127-116 loss to the Pistons on Tuesday. He'll likely return to the lineup Friday in Memphis.

Raptors' Brandon Ingram: Chips in 22 points in return
Rotowire
Ingram logged 22 points (7-15 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT) and one rebound over 31 minutes during the Raptors' 127-116 loss to the Pistons on Tuesday.
Ingram was given the green light to return Tuesday after missing Sunday's game against Orlando due to right heel inflammation. He didn't fill up the box score against Detroit and was inefficient from deep, but he still finished as Toronto's second-leading scorer behind Scottie Barnes (24 points). It was Ingram's 42nd 20-plus-point game of the season but his first since March 15, also against the Pistons. He'll end the month of March having averaged 19.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.6 threes and 0.8 steals over 33.7 minutes per game.

Raptors' Brandon Ingram: Now available versus Detroit
Rotowire
Ingram (heel) will play in Tuesday's game against Detroit.
Ingram initially carried a questionable tag heading into this contest after missing Sunday's 139-87 win over the Magic. However, he was upgraded to probable and now has the green light to suit up. With Ingram back in the lineup, Jamal Shead or Ja'Kobe Walter will presumably head back to the bench.

Raptors' Brandon Ingram: Available against Orlando
Rotowire
Ingram (heel) will play in Sunday's game against Orlando, according to Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca.
Ingram had a rough 13-point showing in Friday's 119-106 win over the New Orleans Pelicans. He popped up on the injury report because of right heel inflammation, although that won't keep him off the floor against Orlando. In two meetings with the Magic this season, the 28-year-old has averaged 26.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.0 blocks and 0.5 steals while shooting 44.4 percent from the field and 28.6 percent from deep across 34.5 minutes per game.

Raptors' Brandon Ingram: Struggles with shot Friday
Rotowire
Ingram supplied 13 points (5-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 31 minutes during Friday's 119-106 victory over the Pelicans.
Ingram has gone five straight games without reaching the 20-point mark, and he's failed to hit the 15-point threshold in two of the last three, so it's safe to say he's been slumping a bit offensively. He's shooting 48.3 percent from the floor and 41.7 percent from three during that five-game stretch, so Ingram isn't really struggling with this shot, but rather having a lesser workload on the offensive end. That's an issue for fantasy managers who trust him to be a reliable offensive weapon for the Raptors.

Raptors' Brandon Ingram: Extremely efficient in win
Rotowire
Ingram had 18 points (6-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds and four assists over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 139-109 win over the Bulls.
The Raptors cruised to an easy win in this match, so Ingram didn't need to play much, but he was decisive when involved, missing just one shot from the field while coming close to reaching the 20-point mark for a fourth consecutive contest. Ingram has a steady role in Toronto's offensive scheme, so he's a good bet to operate as one of the team's go-to scoring weapons every time he steps on the hardwood. He's averaging 21.9 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game over his last 10 appearances.
