Lowry ended with 19 points (5-14 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT, nine assists, five rebounds, two blocks, and one steal in 37 minutes during Sunday's 123-120 victory over Dallas.
EDGE Analysis
Lowry hit just 5-of-14 from the field Sunday but still managed to contribute across the board in what was a hard-fought victory. He has struggled with his shooting for some time with the last time he shot at least 50 percent coming back on December 13. Poor shooting aside, he has been contributing in every other category and has generally rewarded those who drafted him as low as the third round.

Lowry produced 20 points (6-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven assists, five rebounds and one block across 37 minutes in Wednesday's 110-106 loss to the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
Wednesday night marked Lowry's first 20-point game since returning from his brief injury absence at the end of 2018. His three-point efforts (seven threes made in the last two games) are certainly appreciated with the large roster the Raptors deploy and Kawhi Leonard being out to rest.

Lowry posted 19 points (6-15 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine assists, four rebounds and one block across 34 minutes in Tuesday's 120-105 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Lowry continues to return to form since suffering an injury a handful of games ago, and it has shown given his five consecutive double-digit scoring games. In that same span, he has averaged 8.4 assists, showing his ability to be a double-double threat while leading the offense with passing and scoring.

Lowry accrued 16 points (4-15 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 6-9 FT), nine boards, eight assists and two steals across 40 minutes Thursday in the Raptors' 111-109 win over the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
The Raptors initially planned to hold Lowry out for rest in the second half of the back-to-back set, but the point guard apparently talked his way into playing. It's a good thing he did, as the Raptors needed every bit of his production to hold off the lowly Suns in the narrow win. Though he flirted with a triple-double, Lowry's poor shooting since returning from a back injury Jan. 6 continues to restrict his fantasy utility. He's converting at a 32.3 percent clip from the field and 25.6 percent clip from three-point range over the past six games, dropping his season-long marks to 41.6 and 31.3 percent, respectively.

Contrary to a previous report, Lowry (rest) will play Thursday against the Suns, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
It was originally thought that Lowry would be rested for the second half of the team's back-to-back, but he's available after playing 34 minutes in Wednesday's loss to Boston. Lowry is averaging 10.8 points, 8.0 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 2.2 steals in five games since returning from a back injury earlier in the month.

Lowry will not play in Thursday's game against the Suns for rest purposes, Ryan Wolstat of the Toronto Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Raptors have not officially come out and said that they are resting Lowry on back-to-backs, but this is also the first one the point guard has faced since returning from the back injury. Regardless, with Lowry out of the lineup Thursday, Fred VanVleet is expected to step in and serve as the starting point guard while Delon Wright operates as his primary backup.

Lowry finished with 12 points (4-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight assists, three rebounds, three steals, and one block in 32 minutes during Sunday's 121-105 victory over the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
Lowry made his return after missing the last six games with a back injury. He played 32 minutes and was able to contribute across the board. It sounds as though the injury is not going to go away any time soon and is something Lowry and the Raptors are going to have to manage moving forward. All signs point to him being ready to go for Tuesday's game against Atlanta but owners will want to check back just to be certain.

Lowry (back) will return for Sunday's game against the Pacers, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lowry had been sidelined for the last six contests due to a back injury, and he's missed 10 of his team's last 11 games. He's evidently ready to return, however, and is expected to resume his role as the starting point guard. Given Lowry's lengthy absence, it wouldn't be surprising to see Toronto monitor his minutes closely.

Lowry (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Pacers, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lowry has missed Toronto's last-six games but has been participating in pregame workouts and is nearing a return. Lowry will figure to start if he does return Sunday, relegating Fred VanVleet back to a bench role.

Lowry (back) is out Saturday against the Bucks, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Despite Lowry putting in a rigorous pregame workout, he'll ultimately miss a sixth straight game, and Fred VanVleet will presumably start in his stead once more. Lowry's next chance to play arrives Sunday against the Pacers.
