EDGE Analysis
Making his return to the lineup after a five-game absence due to a knee injury, VanVleet's shot looked a little rusty but he still came within shouting distance of his first career triple-double. The Raptors can't seem to stay healthy -- Pascal Siakam (groin), Marc Gasol (hamstring) and Norman Powell (shoulder) are all currently sidelined, and there's nobody on the team who's been able to start every game this season -- and the short-handed club will look to VanVleet and backcourt mate Kyle Lowry to carry the scoring load until reinforcements arrive.
