VanVleet scored 22 points (8-18 FG, 6-15 3Pt) while adding four rebounds, three assists and one steal over 39 minutes Friday in the loss to the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
VanVleet has not been shy about letting it rip from deep, and he hasn't disappointed. Over his last four games, VanVleet has connected on a total of 20 triples while hitting them at a rate of 40.0 percent. As a result, VanVleet has topped 20 points in three of four outings, though his assist numbers have been less than stellar.

Van Vleet posted 19 points (5-12 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and two assists in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 135-111 blowout victory against the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old has now posted 13 straight double-digit point games. Van Vleet's two assists on Wednesday were far from his season average (6.5), but his playmaking skills weren't needed in tonight's blowout victory against the Nuggets. The fifth-year guard should get plenty of run the rest of the way for a Raptors team trying to claw their way back into the playoff picture.

VanVleet generated 27 points (9-17 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 5-5 FT), eight rebounds, four steals and two assists across 41 minutes in Saturday's 117-99 loss to the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
Although the Raptors are suffering through the league's longest active losing streak as of tonight, VanVleet's production has been markedly above average when you consider the team's struggles. Since returning from a five-game absence, the guard has averaged 17.3 points, 6.7 assists and 2.3 steals over three games. While his scoring wasn't on par with his seasonal average, his steal and assist numbers have seen a nice uptick since his return.

VanVleet posted 23 points (8-24 FG, 5-15 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven assists, two steals, two blocked shots and a rebound across 42 minutes in Sunday's 116-105 loss to the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis
VanVleet broke a record for the Raptors on Sunday. He's made at least one three-pointer in 69 consecutive games, and he's likely to extend that franchise record based in the coming days. Although VanVleet is already posting superlative numbers, Toronto's landscape could change drastically in the coming days. Kyle Lowry is consistently mentioned in trade rumors, and if he's sent packing, VanVleet's backcourt role will undoubtedly increase.

VanVleet finished Friday's loss to the Jazz with 17 points (6-15 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine assists, six rebounds and two steals in 41 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
After going 1-of-7 from three Wednesday against Detroit, VanVleet again struggled from deep, but he added strong counting stats to salvage a solid fantasy line. VanVleet's 41 minutes marked his most in any game since Jan. 24.

VanVleet produced 12 points (2-13 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 7-8 FT), four assists, three steals and one rebound in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 116-112 loss to Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
Much like Pascal Siakam, VanVleet struggled to find his rhythm in the loss, something that is not at all surprising. Despite initially being listed as doubtful, VanVleet took his place in the starting lineup and played 32 minutes. He should be able to ramp up his production over the next week, barring any setbacks.

VanVleet (COVID-19 protocols) is available for Wednesday's game against the Pistons, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
VanVleet was initially deemed doubtful before being upgraded to questionable and now available. He'll be on an unspecified minutes limit after such a long layoff, with the guard having not played since Feb. 26.

VanVleet (COVID-19 protocols) has been upgraded to questionable for Wednesday's game against Detroit, Doug Smith of the Toronto Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
VanVleet was able to participate in practice Tuesday and was initially considered doubtful for Wednesday's matchup. It's not yet clear whether VanVleet will be cleared to suit up Wednesday, but he's certainly trending in the right direction after missing five straight games due to the league's health and safety protocols.

VanVleet (COVID-19 protocols) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Pistons, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
VanVleet has missed the past five games due to COVID-19 protocols, and he appears to be on track to miss yet another contest Wednesday. However, VanVleet has been cleared to join the Raptors for practice in Detroit.

VanVleet (COVID-19 protocols) has officially been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bulls, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
VanVleet was not expected to be available Sunday, so this news is relatively unsurprising. He will remain sidelined under the league's health and safety protocols. The Raptors have the next two days off, so his next opportunity to return will be Wednesday versus the Pistons.
