EDGE Analysis

VanVleet struggled to find his shot in the first game of the regular season, though he still finished third on the team in field-goal attempts. While things weren't working on the offensive end of the floor, VanVleet remained strong defensively by racking up a trio of steals. He'll look to get his shooting stroke back on Saturday against the Spurs.
