VanVleet produced 16 points (6-20 FG, 4-10 3Pt), six rebounds, 11 assists and one block across 39 minutes during Monday's 106-100 win over Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
VanVleet was 2-for-10 from inside the arc and is shooting just 35.7 percent from the field over his last 12 appearances. However, he has still averaged 22.1 points per game during that stretch due to his high-volume three-point shooting. He also dished out a team-high 11 assists Monday, notching his eighth double-double. His prolific three-point shooting and assist numbers offers fantasy managers a high floor, but VanVleet still has another level to get to if he can shake his recent shooting woes from inside the arc.

VanVleet (knee) chipped in 19 points (7-22 FG, 5-14 3Pt), eight assists, four rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 54 minutes during Saturday's 124-120 triple-overtime victory over Miami.
EDGE Analysis
VanVleet struggled to find his range during regulation but nailed a few clutch baskets during the overtime periods, helping the Raptors to a thrilling victory. Having missed the previous two games with a sore right knee, VanVleet displayed some rust, but his huge minutes total suggests the Raptors have no real concerns about his health. He's been a revelation thus far and could enter the 2022-23 draft season as a viable first-round selection if he's able to maintain the production he's delivered to date.

VanVleet (knee) is starting Saturday's game against the Heat, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Coach Nick Nurse was optimistic about VanVleet's status ahead of Saturday's matchup, and the point guard will officially be cleared to return after participating in pregame warmups. Although he was unavailable for each of the last two contests, the 27-year-old has averaged 41.7 minutes per game across his last seven appearances.

Coach Nick Nurse said VanVleet (knee) is "looking like he's probable" for Saturday's game against Miami, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
VanVleet will test his knee injury during pregame warmups before the Raptors officially determine his availability, but Nurse's update is certainly encouraging. The 27-year-old missed the last two games due to right knee soreness but had averaged 20.3 points, 8.3 assists and 3.3 rebounds in 41.7 minutes per game across his seven appearances prior to his absence.

VanVleet (knee) is questionable for Saturday's contest against the Heat, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
VanVleet has missed back-to-back contests due to right knee soreness. If he remains out for a third straight game, Gary Trent and Scottie Barnes will likely be the primary beneficiaries once again, while Malachi Flynn and Dalano Banton could see increased run off the bench.

VanVleet (knee) is unavailable for Wednesday's game at Chicago, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
VanVleet was a game-time decision and will be sidelined for the second straight game due to soreness in his right knee. Malachi Flynn and Dalano Banton could see increased run in his continued absence for Toronto.

VanVleet (knee) will be a game-time call for Wednesday's matchup against the Bulls, Josh Lewenberg of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
VanVleet missed Tuesday's win over Charlotte with a sore knee, and the Raptors will wait to see how it responds to a pregame workout before making an official call on his status. Coach Nick Nurse said VanVleet's status "could go either way," so it looks like the point guard is on track to be a true game-time decision.

VanVleet (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bulls, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
A sore right knee kept VanVleet out of Tuesday's win over Charlotte -- his first missed game since Dec. 28. He looks to be dealing with nothing more than routine soreness, but considering he logs 40-plus minutes on a consistent basis, the situation will be worth monitoring going forward. With both VanVleet and Scottie Barnes (wrist) out Tuesday, the Raptors went with a starting five of Gary Trent, OG Anunoby, Pascal Siaka, Chris Boucher and Precious Achiuwa.

VanVleet (knee) is out Tuesday against the Hornets, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
VanVleet will sit out his first game since Dec. 28 as he deals with right knee soreness. He's been a strong staple for the Raptors all season, as he's scored in double digits in every game and is about to miss just his fourth contest of the campaign. In his absence, Scottie Barnes could play de facto point guard, while Svi Mykhailiuk could see more run.
