VanVleet (knee) is considered questionable for Monday's tilt with Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
VanVleet was forced to exit Sunday's game against the 76ers after suffering a right knee bruise. The fact he hasn't yet been ruled out is encouraging, though there's still a good chance that coach Nick Nurse opts for caution and gives VanVleet the night off. In that event, Norman Powell and Terence Davis would be in line for increased minutes.

VanVleet suffered a bruised right knee and will not return to Sunday's game against the 76ers, Doug Smith of the Toronto Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
VanVleet headed back to the locker room during the second quarter, and while he won't return to the game, he came back out to the bench and put on his warmups -- which has to be viewed as an encouraging sign. Prior to exiting, VanVleet had two points (2-2 FT) and two assists in 12 minutes.
