Lowry supplied 13 points (4-12 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 assists, 11 rebounds, and two steals in 34 minutes during Friday's 127-104 win over the Pelicans.
EDGE Analysis
Lowry recorded his second triple-double of the season, putting him one behind last year's career high. He had earned at least 40 minutes in each of the last three contests, as the Raptors clearly aren't taking their foot off the gas as the regular season winds down, perhaps in hopes of catching the top-seeded Bucks.

Lowry finished with 35 points (11-24 FG, 6-14 3Pt, 7-9 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, and one steal in 42 minutes during Sunday's 112-107 loss to Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
Lowry scored a season-high 35 points Sunday, playing a whopping 42 minutes in the overtime loss. The Raptors continue to rest Kawhi Leonard for seemingly no reason and it came back to bite them in this one. Lowry assumed more of a scoring role, resulting in a dip to his assist numbers which had been at double-digits for three straight games. There is a constant risk of injury for Lowry and owners have to hope he can maintain his health down the stretch.

Lowry produced 19 points (7-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 assists, seven rebounds, two blocks and a steal across 40 minutes in the Raptors' win over the Trail Blazers on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Lowry produced his second double-double in three games in Friday's win. He's now totaled double-digit helpers in three straight games, and his rising assist totals make him an appealing fantasy option across all formats.

Lowry totaled 19 points (6-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 10 assists and four steals over 36 minutes in the Raptors' loss to the Magic on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Lowry had a solid double-double in Sunday's loss, handing out 10 assists to go with his 19 points. Although Lowry has averaged a six-year low in points (14.4), he's dishing a career-high 9.1 assists per game, making him a strong nightly option at guard.

Lowry finished with 14 points (4-12 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 assists, four rebounds and three steals across 34 minutes during Wednesday's win over Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Despite struggling with his shot, Lowry topped double-digit assists for the 20th time this season. The veteran guard's cooled down after a sizzling start to the season with his streaky shooting emphasized more recently. That said, Lowry continues to be an all-around fantasy stud as he's averaging 14.3 points, 9.1 assists, 4.5 rebounds, 2.3 threes and 1.3 steals in 34.4 minutes per game this year.

Lowry collected 13 points (3-13 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 13 assists, eight rebounds and one block across 36 minutes in Thursday's 119-101 victory over the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
A day after saying he would play through his back pain for the remainder of the season, Lowry struggled with his shot Thursday night, attempting just two shots inside the three-point arc and making under a third from deep to begin with. His rebound and assist totals from the point guard slot will bail him out on off nights, which is why he is such an important player to have out on the court when healthy.

Lowry said after Tuesday's 119-107 win over the 76ers that he expects to play through back soreness for the rest of the season, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports. "I can do everything I need to do to kind of keep [playing]" Lowry said. "That's huge. To be able to do everything -- lifting, cardio, Pilates -- doing the things that strengthens your body... but I still have to be smart about it. I can't push, push, push. It's not going to be 'I'll be back in shape tomorrow or next week, it's just an all-year type of thing, rest of the season, because, you know it's long term."
EDGE Analysis
Lowry stressed that he isn't dealing with any disc issues or other structural problems with his back, but the injury seems to have had a clear impact on his overall effectiveness this season. Even after sitting out 10 times in an 11-game stretch from mid-December to early January to rest his back, Lowry hasn't played up to his usual standards since returning. Though he turned in a solid outing Tuesday (20 points on 7-for-16 shooting from the field and 5-for-9 shooting from distance), Lowry is converting at only a 35.8 percent clip from the floor and 33 percent rate from three-point range over his last 13 outings. The point guard's decline in efficiency has been largely responsible for the downturn in his overall fantasy value in 2018-19.

Lowry (back) said he will play in Tuesday's game against the 76ers, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lowry said he was surprised that he was listed as doubtful for Tuesday's contest, as it looks like he is no longer dealing with the back soreness that left him sidelined for Sunday's win over the Clippers. Expect Lowry to be a full go Tuesday in his hometown of Philadelphia.

Lowry (back) is considered doubtful for Tuesday's game against the 76ers, Josh Lewenberg of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lowry was held out of Sunday's game against the Clippers with a sore back, and he didn't go through practice Monday, so the Raptors expect the point guard to remain out for a second consecutive contest. Assuming that's ultimately the case, Toronto will likely go with Fred VanVleet as the fill-in starter.

Lowry will not play in Sunday's game against the Clippers with back soreness, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's unclear when Lowry suffered the injury and how severe the injury is. Fred Van Vleet will likely move into the starting lineup in Lowry's place. More information on Lowry's status should come out in the coming days, and he should be considered questionable for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.
