EDGE Analysis

VanVleet was a force to be reckoned with Wednesday, leading both teams in points and assists while notching his first triple-double of the season. He's scored at least 20 points in seven of his last nine games and has dished out 10 or more times in two of his last four.

VanVleet totaled 24 points (9-19 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), nine assists, four rebounds, one block and one steal in 39 minutes before fouling out of Monday's 114-106 loss to Phoenix.

During that stretch, he's averaging 25.6 points, 7.6 assists, 4.4 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 1.0 blocks in 38.8 minutes per game. The 28-year-old is currently on one of the best stretches of his season and will look to maintain his strong production Wednesday against the Jazz.

VanVleet ended with 11 points (4-13 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, nine assists, one block and four steals in 41 minutes during Saturday's 123-105 victory over the Trail Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet finished one assist shy of a double-double. It was another encouraging outing for the elite guard, who has dealt with a nagging rib injury for most of the month. He's had a nice run of games since his last absence, with averages of 21.0 points, 6.8 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 2.8 steals over four games.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet finished third among Toronto players with 17 points in the contest, but his best work came on the defensive end. The point guard tied a season high with four thefts and also swatted multiple shots for the sixth time this season. VanVleet has been on a roll over his past five games, averaging 28.4 points, 6.6 assists, 4.2 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 1.0 blocks while shooting 43.8 percent from three-point range and making all 27 of his free-throw attempts.

VanVleet (ribs) racked up 28 points (8-19 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 8-8 FT), three assists, two rebounds and two steals over 34 minutes during Sunday's 125-116 win over New York.

EDGE Analysis

After sitting out Saturday's 106-104 loss to Boston with a rib injury, VanVleet was back in action for the second half of the back-to-back set and didn't face any restrictions. The one-game respite didn't disrupt the rhythm VanVleet has displayed of late; he's now averaging 31.2 points, 7.0 assists and 4.8 three-pointers over his last four appearances while shooting 48.2 percent from the field.

VanVleet (ribs) will play Sunday against the Knicks, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet was in danger of missing a second straight contest due to soreness in his right ribs, but he'll ultimately play through the issue. Over his past five appearances, the point guard has averaged 21.3 points, 7.9 assists, 6.1 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 37.1 minutes per game.

VanVleet (ribs) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Knicks, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet was a late addition to the injury report Saturday with soreness in his right ribs and was ultimately sidelined for the Raptors' 106-104 loss to the Celtics. The point guard is now a question mark for the second half of Toronto's back-to-back set, and his availability for Sunday's game likely won't be known until closer to the 6 p.m. ET opening tip. Pascal Siakam and Scottie Barnes could see more opportunities to facilitate the offense if VanVleet is sidelined again Sunday.

VanVleet (ribs) will not play in Saturday's game against the Celtics, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet was a late addition to the injury report Saturday with soreness in his right ribs and will end up sidelined due to the issue. With Dalano Banton (hip) also absent, Malachi Flynn will see expanded run, while Scottie Barnes could see more ball-handling duties. With Saturday's tilt being the first of a back-to-back set and the Celtics resting Jayson Tatum, fantasy managers should not be concerned about Vanvleet's absence and can expect him to return for Sunday's meeting with the Knicks.

VanVleet is questionable for Saturday's game against the Celtics due to right rib soreness, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet is coming off an impressive three-game stretch with averages of 32.3 points, 8.3 assists, 5.0 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks with just 1.3 turnovers across 39.3 minutes. However, he may miss his first game since Dec. 30. If he sits out, more minutes could be in store for Malachi Flynn, especially since Dalano Banton (hip) has already been ruled out.

VanVleet closed with 25 points (7-13 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 7-7 FT), one rebound, 10 assists, one block and two steals across 36 minutes during Thursday's 128-126 loss to the Timberwolves.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet had double-digit assist numbers for just the third time this season, continuing what has been a nice return to form over the past week. He has been a top-10 player over that span, bringing his season rank up to 22. While his per-game production has been about where fantasy managers expected, the fact he is playing upwards of 36 minutes on most nights is cause for concern in terms of his long-term health.
