Kyle Lowry hit 8-of-19 shots and two 3-pointers for 24 points, two rebounds, 10 assists and two steals in Tuesday's win over the Wizards.
Lowry is a beast right now and the Raptors are going to want a lot in return if they decide to trade him. Either way, Lowry should be in all starting lineups at all times, as he's showing no signs of slowing down any time soon.

The Knicks are convinced Kyle Lowry is not available before Thursday's trade deadline, according to ESPN.com
The Knicks don't really have any assets to go after Lowry and last week Yahoo! reported Lowry wasn't on the block. He's having a magnificent year and the Raptors are almost a lock to make the playoffs, which leaves them as a tough spot to be sellers before Thursday. Lowry's fantasy owners shouldn't be looking to sell too low on the off chance he's dealt.

Raptors GM Masai Ujiri didn't rule out trading Kyle Lowry before the deadline, saying, "I think we are not good enough so you have to keep it open."
"That's the honest answer," Ujiri said. "These guys have done pretty good. I know we've won a couple of games but we haven't done anything yet." The Raptors' 28-24 record is enough to put them in third place in the East, though they'd be 10th out West. Lowry is a big reason for the team's success and the Raptors may be keep him until he hits free agency this summer, but Ujiri doesn't seem to view any of his players as untouchable.

Kyle Lowry, whose name has been removed from the trade table, according to reports, hit 5-of-14 shots and a 3-pointer for 16 points, six rebounds, 13 assists and two steals in an easy win over the Hawks Wednesday.
His shooting could have certainly been better but he's quickly become one of the league's most reliable fantasy point guards, rarely letting his owners down. And with the Raptors ready to make a playoff run in the weak East, we see no reason why he will slow down between now and the end of the season.

The Raptors have shown "significant reluctance" to part with Kyle Lowry and would prefer to make a playoff run with him, according to Yahoo! Sports.
There were rumors of Lowry being on the block, but a Wojnarowski report is the ultimate trump card in the trade rumor mill. Chances are Lowry should remain with the Raptors and should hold his value as a No. 1 fantasy point guard.

The Raptors are "less likely than more likely" to trade Kyle Lowry by the deadline, according to NBA.com.
This is not a big update and has been the story all along since the Knicks-Raptors trade went south back in December. The Raptors do not want to pay Lowry a big contract, so they would be inclined to make a deal if a team makes them an offer they can't refuse. Greivis Vasquez would likely have a big role on the off chance Lowry gets traded.

Kyle Lowry kept his outstanding season going on Wednesday night with 21 points, seven boards, eight assists, one steal, two blocks and two 3-pointers in 41 minutes.
The refs made one of the worst foul calls of the season when they called Lowry for an offensive foul for kicking his legs out on a 3-pointer against Ben McLemore. His shot would have cut the game to two had he made the free throw with 25 seconds left. In other news, Lowry's knee soreness from Monday was a non-issue tonight and he's playing at All-Star levels right now.

Kyle Lowry (knee) will start against the Kings on Wednesday night.
He went through a light practice on Tuesday to dispel any concerns about his knee soreness. Lowry has dealt with a handful of strange injuries, so it's great to see he's good to go tonight. If you picked up Greivis Vasquez speculatively on Monday, you can start looking for another option.

Kyle Lowry (sore knee) went through a light practice on Tuesday and expects to start Wednesday's game vs. the Kings.
He's still sore and we'll keep a close eye on him until he's back on the court, but owners can tentatively keep him locked into active lineups. If you picked up Greivis Vasquez as a speculative option with Lowry ailing, it's time to start scanning the waiver wire for another hot free agent.

Kyle Lowry (knee) said on Monday his right knee injury is not serious.
He said he's been bothered by soreness and just couldn't help the team tonight. Lowry and the Raptors expect him to be able to play against the Kings on Wednesday. Even though he's downplaying the injury, it's still not a bad idea to add Greivis Vasquez until Lowry gets a clean MRI or is officially in Wednesday's lineup.
