VanVleet (hamstring) is considered doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Trail Blazers, Josh Lewenberg of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
The team initially listed VanVleet as questionable, but he was quickly downgraded to doubtful after he missed practice Monday. Considering Tuesday is the first half of a back-to-back set, it wouldn't be a surprise if VanVleet ultimately sits out Wednesday in Charlotte, as well.

VanVleet was unable to practice Monday due to a hamstring issue, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The specifics of VanVleet's injury remains a bit unclear, though it's been determined that he's battling a hamstring issue. If he's ultimately held out, Terence Davis and Patrick McCaw would be in line for expanded roles.

VanVleet had 29 points (11-19 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-5 FT), 11 assists, four rebounds and one block in Saturday's 121-102 win over Brooklyn.
EDGE Analysis
Both VanVleet and Kyle Lowry (26 points) were the engine of the Raptors' offense, which rebounded impressively after a 76-point showing in Thursday's loss to the Heat. The game marked VanVleet's sixth double-double of the season and represented an end of the combo guard's ongoing shooting struggles. VanVleet had converted just 28.4 percent of his attempts from the field over the prior four contests.

VanVleet posted 12 points (4-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven assists, four rebounds and four blocks across 30 minutes during Tuesday's 117-97 victory over the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis
Though VanVleet struggled shooting the ball, he recorded a career-high four blocks -- a surprising feat for a 6-foot-1 guard who's not known for his leaping ability. He's been great on defense in general, averaging 2.0 steals per game and collecting at least one swipe in all but four appearances.

VanVleet had 27 points (11-21 FG, 2-5 3PT, 3-3 FT) and six assists in Wednesday's loss to the Celtics.
EDGE Analysis
VanVleet started alongside Kyle Lowry in the backcourt and attempted a team-high 21 field goals. He added four steals and four rebounds in his fourth game back from a five-game injury absence.

VanVleet had 21 points (8-18 FG, 1-8 3PT, 4-4 FT), 11 assists, two rebounds, two steals and two blocks in 41 minutes during Monday's 120-115 overtime loss at Indiana.
EDGE Analysis
VanVleet returned three games ago and has looked impressive thus far, averaging 16.3 points, 6.7 assists and 4.7 rebounds per game over that span. He should have a bigger role on offense considering the absences of players such as Pascal Siakam and Norman Powell, and that should boost his upside ahead of Wednesday's contest against the Celtics.

VanVleet scored 18 points (6-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-7 FT) while adding nine rebounds, eight assists and a steal in 34 minutes during Friday's 122-118 win over the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
Making his return to the lineup after a five-game absence due to a knee injury, VanVleet's shot looked a little rusty but he still came within shouting distance of his first career triple-double. The Raptors can't seem to stay healthy -- Pascal Siakam (groin), Marc Gasol (hamstring) and Norman Powell (shoulder) are all currently sidelined, and there's nobody on the team who's been able to start every game this season -- and the short-handed club will look to VanVleet and backcourt mate Kyle Lowry to carry the scoring load until reinforcements arrive.

VanVleet (knee) will play Friday against the Wizards, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
A right knee bruise has kept VanVleet on the shelf since Dec. 9, but he's set to make his return Friday. With the Raptors down Pascal Siakam (groin), Marc Gasol (hamstring) and Norman Powell (shoulder), VanVleet may have to take on an even bigger role than usual.

VanVleet (knee) will be a game-time decision for Friday's game against Washington.
EDGE Analysis
VanVleet has missed the last five matchups due to a right knee injury. He'll need to prove his health during pregame shootaround to gain clearance to play.

VanVleet (knee) will not play Wednesday against the Pistons.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, VanVleet will remain sidelined for a fifth straight game as he continues to nurse a right knee contusion. He was reportedly on the court for Tuesday's practice, however, suggesting VanVleet could be nearing a return. Friday's matchup vs. Washington represents his next chance to take the court.
