The Toronto Raptors’ odds of winning the title at the BetMGM online sportsbook are long after they fell 3-2 down to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round of the playoffs.
Regardless of the outcome of this playoff series, Toronto can be happy with its 2025-26 campaign. Two Toronto Raptors were named All-Stars, as their all-around contributions could give Toronto consistently favourable championship basketball odds in the coming years.
With that said, who are the best Raptors players right now? Let’s find out.
Best Raptors This Season
Scottie Barnes, Forward, 18.1 Points Per Game
Scottie Barnes is an elite defensive player, a talented playmaker, and an effective second- or third-option on offence. Toronto has found Barnes’ ideal role in this team.
Immanuel Quickley’s absence in the playoffs has forced Barnes into being the primary offensive initiator. It’s a role he can take on, but it’s a big ask for a player often asked to guard the opponent’s best perimeter player.
Brandon Ingram, Forward, 21.5 Points Per Game
Scoring only 12 points per game and shooting 32.8% from the field, Brandon Ingram has endured a difficult playoff series against the Cavaliers.
Ingram left Game 5 early with a heel injury. Toronto needs the former Los Angeles Laker to be fully healthy if they are to force a Game 7 in Cleveland. The Raptors’ offence too often stagnates when Ingram is off the floor.
RJ Barrett, Guard, 19.3 Points Per Game
RJ Barrett is an above-average starter. He’s got the mix of athleticism and smarts that make him a very good defender on the wing. He can knock down catch-and-shoot looks on the perimeter, but he’s at his best offensively when he’s attacking closeouts or pushing the ball in transition.
The All-Star upside the New York Knicks hoped for when they drafted Barrett third overall isn’t there. That doesn’t take away from the value Barrett provides to the Raptors, though.
Collin Murray-Boyles, 62% Two-Point Percentage
After averaging 8.2 rebounds per 36 minutes in the regular season, Collin Murray-Boyles has been vital for the Raptors in the playoffs. Murray-Boyles has played more minutes than Jakob Poeltl and has been very impactful when he’s on the court.
Switchable on the perimeter and disruptive on the defensive end, Toronto has been 12.1 points better per 100 possessions with Murray-Boyles on the court.
Sandro Mamukelashvili, 11.2 Points Per Game
Sandro Mamukelashvili has been a key frontcourt option throughout the season. Mamukelashvili has made just under 39% of his 3s and taken 6.1 per 36 minutes. His effectiveness as a shooter helps with the Raptors’ half-court spacing.
Lineups with Mamukelashvili and Murray-Boyles have largely been ineffective, but the pair have been invaluable to the Raptors in a season when Poeltl’s availability has been inconsistent.
Who Is the Main Scorer For the Raptors?
Ingram is the main scorer for the Raptors.
In years past, Ingram has generally operated more as an on-ball scorer, given his knack for getting to his spot in the midrange and getting his defender off balance with his footwork.
His role has changed in Toronto. Ingram had seen 37.2% of his 2-point field goals and 84.9% of his 3-point field goals assisted prior to this season. Those numbers are 42.4% and 92.3% in 2025-26, respectively.
