VanVleet finished with 18 points (5-12 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 38 minutes during Friday's 118-107 victory over the Cavaliers.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet scored 15 of his 18 points in the second half as he went 4-for-6 from beyond the arc after halftime. He's made at least four three-pointers in four of the last five games and is averaging 23.2 points while making 38.0 percent of his threes in that span. The recent proficiency from distance has brought his three-point shooting percentage up to 33.5 on the season, still the lowest mark of his career.

VanVleet contributed 28 points (10-24 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound, four assists, one block and three steals in 40 minutes during Wednesday's 113-106 victory over the Knicks.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet needed 24 shots to score 28 points and didn't contribute significantly in other categories, but he still ended as one of Toronto's main offensive threats. He's been on a tear of late and has surpassed the 20-point mark in four of his last five contests, so his role as one of the Raptors' main scoring weapons is stronger than ever.

VanVleet registered nine points (3-15 FG, 2-11 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one block across 41 minutes during Monday's 104-101 overtime loss to Philadelphia.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet posted his fewest points since Dec. 5 on his second-worst shooting night of the campaign. Coming into the contest, the point guard was averaging 27.3 points, 6.2 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 1.8 steals while shooting 45.5 percent from the field, so Monday's poor performance can likely be chalked up to an off night. Look for VanVleet to get back on track Wednesday against the Knicks.

VanVleet notched 22 points (7-18 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, eight assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Sunday's 126-110 loss to the Warriors.

EDGE Analysis

The Raptors lost this one, but VanVleet had a strong performance and reached the 20-point mark for the fourth game in a row, though it's worth noting that he failed to score at least 30 points after doing so in his previous two outings. Still, this was a solid game for the point guard, who has recently experienced an uptick in his play. Over his last six outings, VanVleet is averaging 27.3 points, 6.2 assists and 4.5 rebounds per game while shooting 45.5 percent from the field.
