Kyle Lowry destroyed the Knicks in Saturday's easy win with 32 points, eight boards, 11 assists, one steal and four 3-pointers on 10-of-17 from the field. He shot 8-of-10 from the line and only turned the ball over once for arguably the best game of the year. With a little help of playing the hapless Knicks twice, Lowry is one of the hottest players in the league over his last five with averages of 22.4 points, 5.6 boards, 9.2 assists, 1.6 steals and 2.6 triples on 44.6 percent from the field and 86.5 percent from the line. His value can't get much higher than this.

Kyle Lowry scored 23 points during Monday's 112-99 loss to the Spurs to go with nine assists, four boards, one steal and two 3-pointers on 6-of-15 shooting. He's been outstanding since the Rudy Gay trade, which is hardly a surprise. Lowry's averages over his last five include 19.6 points, 4.6 boards, 7.2 assists, 2.0 steals and 2.6 triples while making all of his 21 free throws. He is putting up top-20 value this month and his stock is nearing its apex, especially since a trade from the Raptors would undoubtedly hurt his overall production.

The Raptors and Knicks have stopped trade talks for Kyle Lowry a few days ago, according to Howard Beck of Bleacher Report. The Knicks are reportedly unwilling to deal with their first-round pick, which isn't a surprise to hear. Of course, this could all just be posturing and the Knicks may still cave on parting ways with that pick. Lowry should be starting in all fantasy formats while Greivis Vasquez is a must-stash player and is even getting some minutes in two-PG lineups.

Kyle Lowry filled up the stat sheet during Sunday's road victory with 22 points, three 3-pointers, seven rebounds, nine assists and a season-high-tying four steals. K-Low is rolling along with third-round value, seemingly unaffected by trade rumors and changing personnel, though a trade might dent his value since Dwane Casey is giving him liberty to launch a career-high 11.7 shots per game, including an incredible 6.0 attempts from downtown. The best news for fantasy owners is that Greivis Vasquez's arrival hasn't done anything to diminish Lowry's production and the two guards are spending plenty of time together in the backcourt.

Kyle Lowry hit just 2-of-9 shots for six points, three rebounds, 11 assists and a steal in Friday's win over the Sixers. He was 0-for-5 from downtown and played 34 minutes, so we're just calling it one of those nights. However, the trade rumors probably aren't going away and he should be just as valuable with the Knicks as he is with the Raptors, so just hang in there with him.

Kyle Lowry is in the starting lineup to face the Sixers on Friday. Even with the trade rumors swirling, Lowry is good to go tonight. He should have a nice game against a suspect Philly defense and belongs in all lineups.

The Knicks, Warriors and Nets are remain interested in dealing for Kyle Lowry, according to Yahoo! Sports. The Raptors are looking for draft picks and young players in a deal for Lowry and the talks with the Nets have "gained traction" due to the Raptors' interest in Bojan Bogdanovic. The Raptors are going to keep Lowry in the lineup and he should put up some nice numbers now that Rudy Gay is out of town, but his value would undoubtedly take a hit on another team.

Madison Square Garden chairman James Dolan vetoed a trade that would have sent Kyle Lowry to the Knicks, sources told the Daily News. "There are two problems," the source said. "Dolan didn't like that someone from his group leaked it to the media, and the other problem is the Knicks seem to have too many (people)involved with making decisions." The report adds that the deal is not dead and would "almost assuredly" include Raymond Felton, but the Knicks do want to keep Tim Hardaway Jr. Metta World Peace and Iman Shumpert are also possible trading pieces.

The Knicks are reportedly preparing a trade package for Kyle Lowry that would send Raymond Felton, Metta World Peace and a 2018 first-round draft pick to the Raptors. The Raptors, however, continue to gauge their options with an "ever-growing list of teams," and the "most direct competition" is coming from the Nets. Lowry has a reasonable $6.2 million deal which expires this summer and he's been playing well all year, which puts Toronto GM Masai Ujiri in the driver's seat as talks continue.

The Raptors and Knicks are reportedly "trying to construct a deal" that would send Kyle Lowry to New York. Toronto is focused on the future and Lowry's expiring contract makes him a likely trade chip, while the Knicks are desperate for help at PG with Raymond Felton (hamstring) out 2-3 weeks. There aren't any details to report and it sounds as though the talks are in early stages, but it would be somewhat surprising if Lowry is still wearing a Raptors uniform at the All-Star break.
