VanVleet is dealing with right knee soreness, an injury that dates back to before the All-Star break. With FVV sidelined, the Raptors are going with a starting five of Malachi Flynn, Gary Trent Jr., Scottie Barnes, Pascal Siakam and Khem Birch. The Raptors square off against the Nets once again on Tuesday. We'll see if VanVleet is able to give it a go for round two.

Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. It's the same knee issue that kept him sidelined before the All-Star break. Although, Vanvleet returned on Friday, but looked at less than 100 percent during that contest. It wouldn't be shocking to see the Raptors rest Vanvleet in the second game of this back-to-back set.

VanVleet was removed late in Monday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans due to right knee soreness. He led the Raptors in scoring for the game with 20 points on 6-of-15 shooting.

Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet (groin) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The All-Star guard sat out of Thursday's game and the Raptors had no issues against the Houston Rockets. Possibly, the Raptors decide to give Vanvleet another rest day on Saturday. Gary Trent Jr. would continue to see a spike in usage, assuming Vanvleet remains out. Malachi Flynn and Dalano Banton should see bigger roles as well, but aren't standard league options. Fantasy ...

Flynn could be asked to play a bigger role...
