VanVleet (rest) will not play in Tuesday's game against the Clippers, Josh Lewenberg of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
VanVleet will sit for the second straight game as Toronto holds out a number of its regular starters to begin the week. With three more games remaining before the end of the regular season, it's anyone's guess how many more appearances VanVleet will make.

VanVleet will not play in Saturday's game against the Grizzles for injury management purposes, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Raptors do not have much to play for down the stretch, so they will opt to play it safe with their prized shooting guard in this contest. VanVleet will be sidelined along with Kyle Lowry (rest), so look for the likes of Malachi Flynn, Gary Trent and even Jalen Harris to see heavier minutes.

VanVleet recorded 22 points (7-25 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, five assists and two steals across 45 minutes in Thursday's overtime loss against the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
VanVleet might have delivered a strong stat line across the board, but he was highly inefficient and needed 25 shots just to end up with 22 points. The shooting woes are becoming a common issue with the 27-year-old, as he's making just 34.7 percent of his shots despite averaging 19.6 points per game over his last five appearances.

VanVleet posted 27 points (10-24 FG, 5-14 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 13 assists, two rebounds, two steals and one block in 41 minutes during Tuesday's 105-100 loss to the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
With Kyle Lowry (back) a late scratch, VanVleet was the only experienced playmaker on the roster. He took advantage, posting a 31.5 percent usage rate and handing out double-digit assists to the sixth time this season.

VanVleet is not on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
VanVleet got the night off Sunday as Toronto took care of the Lakers at Staples Center, but he'll be back in the lineup Tuesday night. The dynamic guard is coming off of a 30-point, six-rebound, seven-assist, two-steal, four-three-pointer effort in 40 minutes against the Jazz on Saturday night.

VanVleet (hip) will not play Sunday against the Lakers, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
VanVleet will be sidelined after he went for 30 points across 40 minutes during the team's front end of a back-to-back Saturday against Utah. His absence could open up more playing time for Rodney Hood.

VanVleet totaled 30 points (11-25 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven assists, six rebounds and two steals across 40 minutes Saturday in a loss to Utah.
EDGE Analysis
VanVleet missed Thursday's contest in order to manage his recovery from a left hip flexor strain, but the issue clearly didn't affect him much Saturday as he paced Toronto in points and assists. The 27-year-old finished with his highest scoring total since Feb. 16 and has logged at least 40 minutes in three of his past four contests. VanVleet benefitted from Kyle Lowry sitting out the contest to rest, and that may be a somewhat regular occurrence down the stretch with Toronto seemingly not pushing very hard for a playoff spot.

VanVleet (hip) isn't on the injury report for Saturday's game against the Jazz.
EDGE Analysis
VanVleet sat out Thursday's game against Denver due to left hip flexor strain injury recovery, but it appears as though he'll return to the court Friday. He averaged 15.8 points, 6.8 assists and 4.8 rebounds in 37.3 minutes per game across his last four appearances.

VanVleet is out for Thursday's game against the Nuggets due to left hip flexor strain injury recovery.
EDGE Analysis
VanVleet will rest Thursday after appearing in four consecutive games where he averaged 15.8 points, 6.8 assists, 4.8 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 37.3 minutes. In his absence, Malachi Flynn, DeAndre' Bembry and Rodney Hood could see more minutes.

VanVleet totaled 11 points (4-17 FG, 3-12 3Pt), six rebounds and five assists in a 116-103 loss to the Nets on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
VanVleet didn't have a terribly efficient shooting game but contributed five-plus rebounds and five-plus assists for the third consecutive contest. The guard has shot 50.0 percent or higher in just one game since returning from a seven-game absence due to a hip injury and one-game suspension. Despite the inconsistent shooting, VanVleet has provided fantasy managers with solid counting stats, as he's averaged 13.8 points, 6.6 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 1.0 steals across his last five games.
