VanVleet finished Wednesday's 109-94 loss to the Knicks with 24 points (8-19 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, 12 assists and one block over 41 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet was responsible for 12 of the Rockets' 23 assists Wednesday. It was the fourth time he's registered a double-double in January and the 15th time he's reached that mark this season. VanVleet is averaging 15.8 points on 43.1 percent shooting (including 41.1 percent from three), 3.0 rebounds, 8.1 assists and 1.4 blocks over 34.3 minutes per game in January.

VanVleet ended Friday's 112-110 victory over the Pistons with 20 points (7-15 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, 12 assists, two blocks and two steals across 43 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran point guard made sure the Rockets weren't going to lose to the NBA's worst team, scoring 17 of his 20 points in the second half. VanVleet already has a career-high 14 double-doubles on the season, and his 8.6 assists per game through 36 contests would also be a personal best if he can keep it up.

VanVleet finished Monday's 120-113 loss to the Heat with 32 points (10-22 FG, 7-14 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and two blocks over 39 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet finished just one point shy of tying his best output of the season, and the veteran floor general continues to make an impact as a reliable scoring weapon without stealing touches from other performers on an up-and-coming Houston team. VanVleet had a subpar start to the season from a scoring perspective, but he seems to be trending in the right direction of late with averages of 17.0 points per game across his last 10 outings. That said, he's still far from the numbers he was putting up during his Toronto days -- he averaged over 19.0 points per game in his last three seasons with the Raptors before signing with Houston last offseason.

VanVleet finished Wednesday's 112-101 win over the Nets with 21 points (7-9 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, 10 assists and two blocks in 36 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet was efficient from the field, and though he wasn't tasked with leading the offense in a game where Alperen Sengun had a massive performance, he still made his presence felt as a scorer and playmaker. VanVleet has four double-doubles over his last nine outings, a span in which he's averaging 19.6 points with 9.0 assists per game.

VanVleet logged 33 points (9-16 FG, 8-12 3Pt, 7-8 FT), three rebounds, 10 assists, one block and one steal over 43 minutes during Friday's 131-127 loss to the 76ers.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet delivered an impressive performance as a scorer and playmaker, though his efforts were not enough to lift the Rockets to a victory against one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference. VanVleet has had some inconsistencies from time to time, but all things considered, he has provided a lift to the Rockets' backcourt. He has three double-doubles over his last seven contests.

VanVleet ended Tuesday's 123-117 loss to Indiana with 18 points (7-18 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, nine assists, one block and two steals across 40 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet struggled shooting the ball from deep again -- he's gone 4-for-19 (21.1 percent) from three-point range over his past three games -- but he otherwise played well in the close defeat. The point guard looked more like himself as a distributor, falling just one dime shy of a double-double after totaling just seven assists over his previous two contests. VanVleet's season stat line in his first season in Houston hasn't been much different than what fantasy managers had come to expect during the end of his tenure in Toronto. He's posting per-game averages of 17.1 points, 8.6 assists, 3.8 rebounds, 2.9 triples and 1.1 steals while shooting 39.3 percent from the field and 88.2 percent from the charity stripe through 27 contests this season.

VanVleet accumulated 10 points (3-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Saturday's 106-104 victory over the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

The Rockets came through and picked up a road win over the Pelicans, but VanVleet didn't have his best performance and struggled badly from the field for the second game in a row. There's a chance these two are just subpar outings for the veteran floor general, as he's averaging 18.5 points per game across 11 games in December. The efficiency has been an issue, though, as he's shooting just 40.1 percent from the field in that span.

VanVleet posted 27 points (9-19 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), eight rebounds, 17 assists, one block and two steals in 45 minutes during Monday's 135-130 overtime loss to Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

Despite the loss, VanVleet delivered his best game of the season, tallying season-high totals in both points and assists. He also recorded at least two steals for the fourth time in the past five games, an element of his game that had been missing earlier in the season. Over the past two weeks, he has been a top 20 player in nine-category leagues, lifting him into the top 35 for the season.

VanVleet amassed 22 points (8-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, six assists, two blocks and one steal across 39 minutes during Sunday's 128-119 loss to the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet filled the stat sheet admirably Sunday and did what he could to lift Houston to a victory, but he came up short while facing Giannis Antetokounmpo, Damian Lillard and the Bucks. VanVleet has now gone seven straight games without a double-double, but he's been doing an excellent job filling out the stat sheet, so he remains an extremely valuable player in most fantasy formats, particularly the category-based leagues.

VanVleet ended with 16 points (5-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and four steals across 36 minutes during Friday's 103-96 victory over the Grizzlies.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet has gone six straight games without a double-double, but it's worth noting he has ended three assists or fewer from reaching that tally in four of those contests. Even though his scoring figures aren't on the same note as they were during his Toronto days, VanVleet remains a reliable fantasy option, especially considering his uptick in assists. He's averaging a career-high 8.5 dimes per game in 2023-24.
