Lowry dropped 25 points (8-13 FG, 4-6 3PT, 5-6 FT) and six assists in a win over the Lakers on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Lowry missed the preseason opener with some groin soreness, so the 25-point performance is definitely a good sign. After posting career-highs across the board last year, Lowry should have the keys to the Raptors offense once again. After struggling earlier in his career, Lowry has really blossomed into a special player and he credits it to staying healthy. He'll need to do just that to live up to expectations this season.
