Brandon Ingram of the Toronto Raptors had a tough shooting night in Friday's 119-106 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans. Ingram scored 13 points on 5-of-13 shooting, including 1-of-3 from three-point range. He also added six rebounds, two assists, one block, and one steal in 31 minutes of action.

Why it matters

Ingram has been in a bit of an offensive slump lately, failing to reach the 20-point mark in five straight games. His shooting percentages have dipped during this stretch, which is concerning for fantasy managers who rely on Ingram to be a consistent scoring threat for the Raptors.

The details

Over the past five games, Ingram is shooting 48.3% from the field and 41.7% from three-point range. This is down from his season averages of 50.1% from the field and 43.2% from deep. The Raptors have already been eliminated from playoff contention, so Ingram's role and usage on offense may be diminishing as the team looks to develop younger players.

What they’re saying

“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.”

The takeaway

Ingram's recent shooting struggles are a concern for fantasy managers, as the Raptors' star forward has been a reliable offensive weapon throughout the season. However, with the team out of playoff contention, his role and usage may diminish as the Raptors look to develop younger players down the stretch.
