Lowry tallied 24 points (7-14 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 6-7 FT) in 40 minutes in a 116-112 loss to the Cavaliers on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Lowry is averaging over 20 points per game for the second time in his career, although his average is down every so slightly from last year. On the other hand, he's improved in three-point shooting percentage, free-throw percentage, rebounds per game, and assists per game, so nobody should be complaining.

Lowry scored 17 points (6-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) while adding eight rebounds, eight assists and a block in 31 minutes during Saturday's 128-84 win over the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
The Raptors rested their starters in the fourth quarter of the blowout win, otherwise Lowry might have been able to record his ninth career triple-double. He's been on an impressive scoring run, draining multiple three-pointers in 11 straight games while averaging 22.9 points, 7.8 assists, 4.9 boards, 3.6 threes and 1.5 steals over that stretch.

Lowry accrued 24 points (8-12 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven assists, four rebounds and one steal across 31 minutes in Friday's 113-80 win over the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
The 12 shots were Lowry's second fewest of the season, but thanks to his sparkling proficiency -- particularly from downtown -- he was able to exceed his scoring average for the season. He's now put up at least 24 points in each of the last three games, aiding the Raptors to wins in all of those contests while DeMar DeRozan has seen his scoring production tail off a bit of late.

Lowry scored 29 points (8-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 9-10 FT) and added eight rebounds, three assists, and two steals in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 120-105 win over the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
Lowry has now shot above 50 percent for three straight games. His current efficiency is exciting, but unlikely to last, as he has never shot above 44 percent for a season. Even if his efficiency cools off, he would remain an every-night starter in all fantasy formats. He is averaging a career high in rebounds, and is 0.1 assists per game away from his career high in assists.

Lowry collected 24 points (7-9 FG, 6-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight assists, four rebounds, and one steal across 32 minutes during the Raptors' 122-95 win over the 76ers on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Lowry hit the 20-point mark for the sixth time in 17 contests on Monday despite attempting a season-low nine shots from the field. Having taken no fewer than 13 shots in any prior matchup this year, this was Lowry's most efficient night offensively, as he drained a season-high six three-pointers on his way to a game-high 24 points. After three one-for-five offerings from beyond the arc during the first three games of 2016-17, Lowry has made at least two three-pointers in all but one bout since. The 30-year-old guard has also made 50 percent or more of his shot attempts in the last two games after achieving that level of accuracy only twice (back on Oct. 31 against the Nuggets and Nov. 2 versus the Wizards) in the first 15 games. Despite the fact that Lowry is typically not helping out much in categories like field-goal percentage and blocks, he remains a must-start option across all fantasy formats.

Lowry put up 25 points (7-17 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 9-10 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and two steals across 36 minutes in Sunday's 102-99 loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
With DeMar DeRozan turning in a season-low 12 points, Lowry churned out his third showing of 20 or more points in the last four games, though his outing was sullied by his seven turnovers. In spite of the recent scoring surge, Lowry is still averaging two fewer points than last season's career-high 21.2 points per game, but thanks to improved production in the assists and rebounds categories, he hasn't lost much fantasy value.

Lowry compiled 18 points (6-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 13 assists and five rebounds across 38 minutes in Friday's 113-111 overtime win over the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
Lowry's 38.7 percent mark from the field for the season is his worst since 2006-07 and has put a bit of damper on his scoring, though his 7.3 assists, 5.3 rebounds and 1.8 steals per game are right on par with what he averaged in last year's All-Star campaign. The Raptors may need Lowry to find his stroke when DeMar DeRozan eventually cools off from his season-long hot streak, but there's no reason for fantasy owners to lose patience with the point guard so long as he's still delivering in other areas of the stat sheet.

Lowry scored 28 points (11-23 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT) while adding nine assists, five rebounds and four steals in 40 minutes during Tuesday's 121-117 loss to the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis
The Raptors point guard has had a rough start to the season offensively -- this was only the second time in 10 games that Lowry had scored 20 or more points -- but he's still averaging 8.2 assists, 6.7 boards, 2.7 threes and 1.8 steals over his last six games, staying productive while he finds his shot.

Lowry tallied 19 points (7-16 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, six assists, two steals and one block across 36 minutes in Friday's 113-111 win over the Hornets.
EDGE Analysis
After averaging a career-high 21.2 points per game last season, Lowry has topped 20 points just once in the Raptors' eight games, but with backcourt mate DeMar DeRozan leading the league in scoring, Toronto hasn't suffered from the point guard's declining point totals. On a positive note, DeRozan's hike in scoring seems to be benefiting Lowry as a distributor, as he's averaging 6.9 assists per game, a slight increase from what he posted in 2015-16.

Lowry scored 19 points (6-20 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT) while adding 13 assists, nine rebounds and a block in 43 minutes during Wednesday's 112-102 win over the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
He continues to struggle with his shot -- Lowry's shooting just 35.4 percent from the floor to begin the season -- but he's still providing plenty of value with 17.3 points, 7.0 assists, 4.9 boards, 2.3 threes and 1.9 steals a game. Once he begins to heat up offensively, don't be surprised if he takes a run at last year's career-high 21.2 PPG.
