VanVleet had 11 points (2-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 7-9 FT), five rebounds, nine assists and three steals in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 117-104 victory over the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
VanVleet didn't have a good shooting performance, and his efficiency from the charity stripe ultimately saved his scoring output -- and his overall fantasy stat line. However, the veteran floor general hasn't been able to replicate the same scoring numbers he had with the Raptors. He's averaging just 16.4 points per game, a noticeable drop considering he never averaged fewer than 17.0 points per contest in any of his previous four seasons with Toronto.

VanVleet finished Monday's 93-82 win over San Antonio with 16 points (6-17 FG, 4-11 3Pt), six rebounds, five assists and two steals over 39 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
VanVleet didn't have his best scoring output, especially after notching a season-high 26 points against the Nuggets on Friday, but he still posted a decent all-around stat line while continuing to hit shots from three-point range. VanVleet has made three or more three-pointers in four games in a row and six of his last seven contests. During that seven-game span, the floor general is shooting 41.8 percent from beyond the arc while averaging 16.9 points per contest.

PG HOU
VanVleet finished Friday's 114-106 victory over the Nuggets with 26 points (6-17 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 10-13 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one block across 40 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
VanVleet let his scoring do the talking Friday, leading the way with a team-high 26 points, including four three-pointers. While it has been a strong season for VanVleet, his defensive numbers are a little concerning. Currently, he is averaging just 0.8 steals per game, well below what he has put up in the past. If he can get back to at least 1.2 per game, he should be able to push for another top-30 season.

VanVleet (thumb) is available for Saturday's game against the Lakers, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
VanVleet took a seat for the second half of a back-to-back set Wednesday due to a left thumb sprain, but he'll return to action Saturday. Across his first 15 appearances with the Rockets, VanVleet has averaged 16.1 points, 9.2 assists and 4.1 rebounds in 37.6 minutes per game.

VanVleet (thumb) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
VanVleet was probable for Tuesday's game against Dallas due to his left thumb sprain but was able to play through the issue. However, he'll be unavailable for the second half of the back-to-back set. With Jae'Sean Tate (knee) also sidelined, Aaron Holiday is a candidate to see plenty of run against Denver.

VanVleet (thumb) is available Tuesday against Dallas.
EDGE Analysis
VanVleet was listed on the injury report with a left thumb sprain, although the injury will not cause him to miss any time. He is set to make his 15th start of the season Tuesday and is averaging 16.6 points, 9.0 assists and 4.1 rebounds in 37.4 minutes per game.

VanVleet (thumb) is probable to play Tuesday against Dallas.
EDGE Analysis
VanVleet is dealing with a left thumb sprain. Houston hasn't played since a victory over Denver on Friday, so it's unclear when VanVleet suffered the sprain. The 29-year-old has yet to miss a game this season and has possessed a mammoth workload of late, averaging 17.6 points and 9.6 assists in 40.1 minutes across his last seven games. He appears on track to play Tuesday.

VanVleet notched 17 points (6-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, 11 assists, two blocks and one steal over 39 minutes during Friday's 105-86 win over the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
VanVleet handed out a game-high 11 assists in the victory, continuing his rapid start to the season. Although his scoring has been inconsistent, his importance to this team cannot be overstated. He is currently the 49th-ranked player in standard leagues, averaging 16.6 points to go with 4.1 rebounds, 9.0 assists, 0.7 steals and 3.1 three-pointers. If and when he can return to being an elite steals guy, he should push toward being a top-30 player ROS.

VanVleet amassed 10 points (3-13 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds and 14 assists over 41 minutes during Monday's 121-116 loss to the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
VanVleet's assist totals have been stellar recently. Over the past three games, he's dropped an astonishing 40 dimes. Although VanVleet's shooting stroke is slumping slightly, the assist numbers can quickly forgive any shooting mishaps.

VanVleet amassed 15 points (5-14 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, 16 assists and one steal over 40 minutes during Sunday's 105-104 loss to the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
VanVleet came close to reaching his career-best mark in assists, which he set last season when he delivered 20 dimes against the Hornets as a member of the Raptors, but he was still elite despite the Rockets' failure to come away with a victory. VanVleet has posted back-to-back double-doubles for the second time this season and is trending in the right direction of late, averaging 17.9 points and 9.5 assists per game this month.
