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.

VanVleet posted 39 points (15-28 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds and seven assists in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 130-122 loss to Milwaukee.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet led all Raptors players in scoring, threes made and assists while finishing one rebound and three assists shy of a triple-double. VanVleet, who tied a season-high point total, has posted at least 30 points, five rebounds and five assists in two straight games.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet put together his best scoring performance since Dec. 16, when he poured in 39 points against Brooklyn. This was a great sign for fantasy managers, as VanVleet had been held to 25 total points over his last three contests prior to Monday's clash. The Wichita State product also recorded his first two blocks since Jan. 6.

VanVleet (back) will play Monday against the Knicks, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet was initially listed as questionable for Monday's game due to lower-back soreness before being upgraded to probable. Now, coach Nick Nurse has confirmed the guard will be able to play through the issue. The 28-year-old has scored in double figures in five of his last six appearances, averaging 15.8 points, 7.7 assists and 6.7 rebounds in 36.0 minutes per game over that stretch.

VanVleet is questionable for Monday's game against the Knicks due to lower-back soreness, Vivek Jacob of the Raptors' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet is nursing the injury after playing 26 minutes and producing just three points (1-9 FG, 1-6 3Pt), six rebounds and four assists in Saturday's 114-103 loss to the Hawks. If VanVleet can't go Monday, Malachi Flynn could be thrust into a bigger role in the Toronto backcourt, while players like Gary Trent, Scottie Barnes and Pascal Siakam could step into larger roles as facilitators.

VanVleet ended Sunday's 117-105 win over the Trail Blazers with 14 points (5-12 FG, 4-9 3Pt), six rebounds and seven assists over 35 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet ended with 28 points (9-21 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 7-9 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals across 41 minutes during Friday's 112-108 loss to the Knicks.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet has now posted 28-point performances in back-to-back games, and while the Raptors have come up short in both contests, the combo guard has been playing quite well as a legit offensive threat. He's had some subpar performances in recent weeks, but the former Wichita State star is still averaging 19.9 points, 5.8 assists and 4.5 rebounds per game since the start of December.

VanVleet produced 28 points (8-23 FG, 4-14 3Pt, 8-8 FT), eight rebounds, 12 assists and three steals over 47 minutes during Wednesday's 104-101 overtime loss to the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

The Raptors came quite close to pulling the upset against Milwaukee, and VanVleet's performance was a big reason why, as he ended just two rebounds away from recording a triple-double. This was a huge bounce-back performance after racking up 13 combined points over his previous two outings.

Head coach Nick Nurse said VanVleet (back) will be available for Monday's contest against the Pacers, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet has missed back-to-back games due to a back injury and was initially listed as questionable for Monday. However, the veteran point guard will ultimately be available and presumably return to the starting lineup against Indiana. It hasn't been an ideal start to the campaign for VanVleet, who's shooting a career-low 33.1 percent from deep, but he'll look to find his groove following a brief absence.

VanVleet (back) is considered a question mark for Monday's game versus the Pacers, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet has held a questionable designation for the last two contests before being ruled out, so his status for Monday doesn't tell us much about his availability. The team should provide an official ruling on his status ahead of the 7 PM ET opening tip.
