Lowry was ruled out for Friday's final seeding game Friday against the Nuggets for rest.

EDGE Analysis

The 34-year-old returned to action Wednesday against the Sixers after a one-game absence due to back soreness, but there's no need for the Raptors to risk injury for the opening playoff series against the Nets. Pascal Siakam and Fred VanVleet will also rest while OG Anunoby (knee) and Serge Ibaka (knee) are doubtful, so Toronto's reserves will be heavily featured Friday.

Lowry (back) totaled 19 points (6-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-9 FT), three assists, two steals and one rebound in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 125-121 win over the 76ers.

EDGE Analysis

Lowry rejoined the lineup after a one-game absence due to back soreness to deliver an efficient scoring performance. None of the starters saw their usual allotment of minutes, and that will likely be the case once again during Friday's regular season finale against the Nuggets.

Lowry (back) is off the injury report for Wednesday's matchup against the 76ers.

EDGE Analysis

Lowry missed Monday's win over the Bucks due to back soreness, but he's feeling better ahead of Wednesday's action. In the bubble, Lowry is averaging 16.2 points, 8.0 rebounds, 6.2 assists and a combined 2.8 steals-plus-blocks across 34.6 minutes.

Lowry (back) will not play in Monday's game against the Bucks, Tim Bontemps of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Lowry, Fred VanVleet and Serge Ibaka out, in addition to Giannis Antetokounmpo, Monday's showdown between the two best teams in the East will lose some luster. The Raptors will start Terence Davis in Lowry's place.

Lowry (back) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

The Raptors are entering the second leg of a back-to-back set, so it's not entirely surprising that Lowry, Serge Ibaka and Fred VanVleet all popped up on the injury report Monday afternoon. It's possible all three could play, but the Raptors have reason to be cautious as the postseason approaches.

Lowry had 15 points (4-12 FG, 2-9 3PT, 5-6 FT), eight assists, seven rebounds and four steals in Sunday's win over Memphis.

EDGE Analysis

While it wasn't Lowry's afternoon from the field, he led the Raptors in assists, and his seven boards were the second-most on the team behind Serge Ibaka's 12. Lowry did commit a season-high nine turnovers, however, in 37 minutes.

Lowry amassed 11 points (3-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three steals, two rebounds, two assists and one block in 28 minutes during Friday's 122-120 loss to the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

Lowry salvaged an otherwise disappointing night by compiling four combined steals and blocks. The Raptors were never in this game and the fact Lowry even played 28 minutes was a little surprising. He will certainly be better than this on most nights and will look to bounce back in a favorable matchup against the Grizzlies on Sunday.

Lowry notched eight points (2-9 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 10 assists, nine rebounds, one steal and one block in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 109-99 win over the Magic.

EDGE Analysis

Lowry had a disastrous game shooting the rock, but he made up for it with strong rebounding and excellent passing -- he came just two points and one rebound of what would've been his third triple-double of the season. Lowry's scoring numbers should improve ahead of the Raptors' next game against the Celtics on Friday, but he showed he can still provide value even when his shot is not falling.

Lowry finished with 33 points (8-16 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 12-15 FT), 14 rebounds, six assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Saturday's 107-92 victory over the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

Lowry put on a show Saturday, guiding the Raptors to arguably their best win of the season. Never one to shy away from playing time, the enforced layoff may have been a blessing in disguise for the 14-year veteran. He will head into the playoffs about as fresh as he could hope to be, which bodes well for the Raptors' title prospects.

Lowry produced 11 points (4-8 FG, 3-7 3Pt), seven assists, four rebounds and a steal across 24 minutes in Tuesday's 117-106 loss to the Suns.

EDGE Analysis

Lowry is in his 14th season as a pro, but when he's healthy, he shows no signs of slowing down. Expectations for the Raptors were tempered after the departure of Kawhi Leonard, but Lowry leads a strong corps of offensive talent, and they are firmly planted as the second seed in the East, just behind the Bucks. Even though the Bucks are favorites, a repeat showdown in the East finals could be coming if Lowry and his counterparts stay healthy.
