EDGE Analysis

VanVleet came close to reaching his career-best mark in assists, which he set last season when he delivered 20 dimes against the Hornets as a member of the Raptors, but he was still elite despite the Rockets' failure to come away with a victory. VanVleet has posted back-to-back double-doubles for the second time this season and is trending in the right direction of late, averaging 17.9 points and 9.5 assists per game this month.
