EDGE Analysis

After trailing by four at halftime, the Raptors briefly seized control of the contest in the third quarter thanks in large part to VanVleet's efforts. He poured in 12 of his 21 points during that time, with half of that output coming on one possession. After drilling three straight free throws following a Marcus Smart flagrant foul, VanVleet proceeded to knock down one of his three treys in the quarter. He'll head into Game 7 with averages of 19.6 points, 7.0 assists, 4.5 boards, 3.9 threes and 1.8 steals through the Raptors' first 10 playoff contests.

VanVleet started the series slowly from a scoring perspective, but he had a big game when his team needed him most, as his effort was instrumental in avoiding a fall to 0-3 in the series.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet has struggled with his shot in the first two games of the series against the Celtics, averaging 15.0 points per game but making just 28.9 percent of his field goals. He averaged 21.3 points per game while shooting 52.7 percent from the field in the first round against the Nets, so he needs to improve his efficiency if the Raptors want to have a shot at coming back from an 0-2 deficit.

VanVleet was ruled out for Friday's final seeding game against Denver for rest,

EDGE Analysis

Kyle Lowry and Pascal Siakam will also rest Friday, with the Raptors content heading in to the first round playoff series against Brooklyn. VanVleet will finish the regular season averaging 17.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 6.6 assists and 1.9 steals in 35.7 minutes.

VanVleet (knee) had 10 points (3-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six assists and two rebounds in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 125-121 win over the 76ers.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet returned to the lineup following a one-game absence with a hyperextended knee. He struggled from the field but paced the team in dimes without committing a single turnover. With Toronto locked into the second seed in the Eastern Conference, it's fairly unlikely that coach Nick Nurse will play VanVleet heavy minutes during Friday's season finale versus Denver.
