Dick (hamstring) is available for Wednesday's game against the Nets, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
After missing Tuesday's loss to Boston with a hamstring injury, Dick will keep his absence to a one-game minimum and suit up Wednesday. The sharpshooter is coming off a season-low six points in his last appearance during Sunday's loss to the Hawks, so he'll be looking to bounce back against Brooklyn. Dick has reached double-digit scoring figures in six of his last seven outings, and he doesn't figure to face a minutes restriction.

Dick (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nets.
EDGE Analysis
Dick remains day-to-day after missing Tuesday's game against Boston. In addition to Dick, RJ Barrett (illness) and Immanuel Quickley (illness) are questionable, while Bruce Brown is resting for the second leg of this back-to-back. Once Quickley gets his legs under him, Dick's usage could take a hit.

Dick (hamstring) will not play Tuesday against Boston, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dick was a true game-time call, but the Raptors will hold out the sharpshooter. With Dick missing his first contest since Dec. 3, and with RJ Barrett (illness) also sidelined, the Raptors will plug Davion Mitchell and Ja'Kobe Walter into the starting lineup.

Dick is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Celtics due to hamstring tightness, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dick is in jeopardy of missing his first contest since Dec. 3 due to the hamstring issue. If the second-year pro is sidelined, Jamal Shead, Ja'Kobe Walter and Bruce Brown are candidates for increased roles.

Dick racked up six points (3-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and two steals across 25 minutes during Sunday's 136-107 loss to the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
Dick scored a season-low six points Sunday, snapping a six-game streak in double scoring figures in the process. The 21-year-old sharpshooter is still averaging a healthy 16.9 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.1 steals and 2.1 threes through his last seven outings, so fantasy managers can expect Dick to bounce back as a scorer in the coming games. However, things won't get much easier for Dick during a difficult matchup Tuesday against the defending-champion Celtics, who rank fifth in the NBA in threes allowed per game (12.7).

Dick ended with 19 points (6-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 33 minutes during Thursday's 101-94 loss to Brooklyn.
EDGE Analysis
Dick has been a bit inconsistent, but it's undeniable that he seems to be taking a step forward in recent games. The second-year guard has scored at least 15 points in five of his six December appearances, averaging 19.5 points per game and shooting 36.4 percent from deep in that stretch. The shooting numbers he posted in college haven't translated to the NBA yet, but the sharpshooting guard seems to be trending in the right direction based on his numbers in the last few weeks.

Dick accumulated 27 points (9-20 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds and two assists in 33 minutes during Monday's 122-121 loss to Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
Dick is establishing himself as a reliable offensive option in a rebuilding Toronto team, and his numbers have been quite good since returning from a five-game absence between Nov. 25 and Dec. 3 due to a calf problem. Dick has surpassed the 20-point mark in three of his last four appearances and is averaging 20.8 points per game in that span, but he's doing so by shooting just 39.4 percent from the floor and 30.8 percent from deep.

Dick recorded 22 points (8-19 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and two assists across 31 minutes during Thursday's 114-104 loss to Miami.
EDGE Analysis
Dick surpassed the 20-point mark for the eighth time this season. Even though going 3-for-11 from three-point range isn't exactly eye-popping, the shooting volume will allow Dick to remain relevant in fantasy, especially considering how depleted the Raptors are right now. The second-year guard has scored at least 15 points in three of his last four appearances, so he seems to be trending in the right direction. He's likely to flourish as a solid scoring weapon due to the absence of other key rotation pieces, such as Scottie Barnes (ankle) and Immanuel Quickley (elbow), for the time being.

Dick (calf) tallied 15 points (5-9 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two steals and one rebound across 23 minutes Thursday in the Raptors' 129-92 loss to the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
Because of the blowout nature of the game in addition to the fact that he was returning from a five-game absence due to a bruised left calf, Dick saw his fewest minutes of the season Thursday. The second-year wing started and shot well from three-point land in his return, but aside from his contributions in the steals category, his stat line was mostly lacking. Dick is averaging 17.9 points and 2.4 three-pointers over his 18 appearances thus far, but many of his big games came with Scottie Barnes, RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley (elbow) missing time with injuries. Quickley appears on track to return at some point later this month, so Dick could be headed for a reduction in his 22.7 percent usage rate as the season unfolds.

Dick (calf) is available for Thursday's game versus the Thunder, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dick has been upgraded from questionable to available Thursday after missing Toronto's last five outings due to a left calf contusion. The 21-year-old forward should reclaim his starting spot from Ja'Kobe Walter.
