TORONTO (AP) — Rookie Collin Murray-Boyles scored 17 points as the Toronto Raptors beat the Atlanta Hawks 118-100 on Monday night.

Murray-Boyles added seven rebounds and seven assists for Toronto (22-15) in place of injured starter Jakob Poeltl (back strain). Raptors coach Darko Rajakovic confirmed before that game that Poeltl had been cleared for contact.

Scottie Barnes finished with 18 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds as the Raptors beat the Hawks for the second straight game. Toronto defeated Atlanta 134-117 on Saturday.

Brandon Ingram had 19 points and nine rebounds as seven Toronto players reached double digits in scoring.

Jalen Johnson had 13 points and 14 rebounds and Onyeka Okongwu finished with 17 points and 12 rebounds for Atlanta (17-21).

Kristaps Porzingis returned to the Hawks’ lineup, after missing the second game of a back-to-back, scoring nine points in 20 minutes off the bench.

Hawks guard Trae Young missed another game as he recovers from a right quadriceps contusion.

Although both teams struggled with their 3-point shooting, Atlanta had a poor shooting night overall. The Hawks went 35 for 89 (39.3%) from the field, including 12 for 34 from 3-point distance.

The Raptors outscored the Hawks 64-44 in the paint. Toronto shot 47 for 90 (52.2%) from the field.

WINNIPEG, Manitoba (AP) — Winnipeg Jets defenseman Haydn Fleury was alert and moving his extremities after he was taken off the ice on a stretcher after a violent collision with the boards.

Fleury was checked in the chest by Vegas Golden Knights forward Keegan Kolesar in the first period Tuesday night and his back took the brunt of the hit behind the net.

Jets coach Scott Arniel told reporters after Vegas' 4-3 overtime win that Fleury would stay in hospital overnight.

Winnipeg's bench emptied onto the ice in a show of support for Fleury as he was taken off the ice.

After the game resumed, Winnipeg's Adam Lowry fought Kolesar.

Fleury, a 29-year-old Canadian, is in his second season with the Jets. He previously played for Tampa Bay, Seattle, Anaheim and Carolina. Fleury has 10 career goals and 44 points.
