VanVleet is dealing with a bruised right hand and has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Thunder, Doug Smith of the Toronto Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet likely suffered the injury during Friday's game against the Mavericks when he played a whopping 31 minutes with Kyle Lowry sitting out for rest. While it doesn't sound likely anything overly serious considering it's just a bruise, VanVleet will still be held out of Sunday's contest as a precautionary measure. With VanVleet on the sidelines, look for Delon Wright to backup Lowry and see a sizable workload with the second unit.

VanVleet scored 14 points (5-12 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT) while adding eight assists, four rebounds and a block in 31 minutes off the bench during Friday's 122-115 overtime win over the Mavericks.

EDGE Analysis

With Kyle Lowry (rest) in street clothes, Delon Wright got the start at point guard but both backups delivered solid numbers in expanded roles. VanVleet has scored in double digits in seven of the last 10 games, and while his minutes will shrink with Lowry back in action Sunday against the Thunder, he'll remain a key part of the Raptors' electric second unit.

VanVleet totaled 15 points (6-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four assists, two steals and one rebound across 28 minutes in Tuesday's 116-102 victory over the Nets.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet continues to be the sixth man for the Raptors, as evidenced by his 28 minutes off the bench Tuesday night. He works well in the rotation with the two star guards the Raptors have, especially when he is efficient from the floor with his shots, and limits his turnovers.

VanVleet registered just four points (1-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven assists, three rebounds, three steals and two blocks across 29 minutes in Tuesday's 106-90 win over the Hawks.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet played more minutes than starter Kyle Lowry in a lopsided victory for the raptors, but he did very little with the minutes from a scoring standpoint, hitting just one shot from the floor all night. What he lacked in shooting he made up for in other categories, as he played phenomenal defense and dished out seven assists on the night, but he still remains just a bench player behind the talented guards of the Raptors.

VanVleet recorded 10 points (4-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt), six assists, three steals and one rebound across 24 minutes in Thursday's 113-88 win over the Knicks.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet earned extended run in a blowout victory for the Raptors and showed his ability to coordinate an offense while not slacking on the other end of the court as he collected three steals. However, with both Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan being the star tandem they are in Toronto's backcourt, the opportunities for VanVleet to showcase his passing and scoring abilities will be limited to games like Thursday night.

VanVleet scored 10 points (3-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), grabbed three rebounds, dished eight assists, and collected one steal across 31 minutes Tuesday in Toronto's win over Boston.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet has proven himself as the type of player that will flourish when given more opportunities. Tuesday marked the fifth consecutive game where VanVleet collected double-digit points, and coach Dwane Casey will continue to use the emerging guard as a way to ease the burden on star guard Kyle Lowry. However, outside of an injury leading to Lowry missing extended time, VanVleet's fantasy value will be limited.

VanVleet compiled 13 points (5-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight assists, seven rebounds and two steals in 29 minutes during Sunday's 101-86 victory over the Grizzlies.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet had another strong performance Sunday, leading the team with 29 minutes on the floor. That makes four consecutive games with double-figure scoring while shooting 55 percent from the field. He also tied his season-high with seven rebounds while adding a team-high eight assists. He appears to have usurped Delon wright as the first guard off the bench and while his efficiency is boosting his value, he seems to have the confidence of the coaching staff and is worth a look in deeper formats.

VanVleet (personal) will be available for Friday's game against the Blazers, Raptors Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet was away from the team following the birth of his child, but he'll return to action Friday after missing Thursday's game against Washington. Expect VanVleet to fill his usual role of roughly 18-20 minutes off the bench behind Kyle Lowry.

VanVleet (personal) didn't travel with the Raptors to Washington and is listed as out for Thursday's game against the Wizards.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet's child was born earlier this week, but it didn't prevent him from rejoining the Raptors ahead of Tuesday's 109-104 win over the Timberwolves, during which the reserve guard reached double figures in the scoring column for the third time in four games. He'll likely take Thursday off to spent more time with his growing family, but expect VanVleet to reenter the rotation Friday in Toronto, where the Raptors will host the Trail Blazers.

Updating a previous report, VanVleet (personal) is back on the court and is available to play in Tuesday's tilt with the Timberwolves, Doug Smith of the Toronto Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet was late arriving to the court after attempting to rejoin the team following the birth of his child earlier Tuesday, but made it just in time for tip-off and should be available to play. He'll battle with Delon Wright for reserve backcourt minutes off the bench.
