Patterson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game in Boston, Josh Lewenberg of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Patterson missed Sunday's matchup with Orlando due to a sprained left ankle, but he was a full participant in practice Tuesday, foreshadowing a likely return Wednesday night. If that is, indeed, the case, Luis Scola and Jason Thompson would stand to see reductions in playing time.

Patterson is out for Sunday's matchup with the Magic due to a left ankle injury, Josh Lewenberg of TSN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fortunately, X-Rays on Patterson's ankle came back negative, but it is unclear how long he will be sidelined. He should be considered day-to-day going forward. His next opportunity to play will be Wednesday against the Celtics. Expect an update on his status when more information becomes available.

Patterson scored 14 points (6-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists, two blocks, and one steal across 20 minutes during the Raptors' 107-89 victory versus the Bucks on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Patterson scored in double figures for the fourth time in the last five games. Over this recent span, he is averaging 11.8 points, five rebounds, 2.2 threes, 1.6 assists, 0.8 blocks, and 0.4 steals in 28 minutes per contest. Luis Scola continues to start, but Patterson keeps outproducing him from a fantasy standpoint.

Patterson provided five points (2-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt), three rebounds, and one assist in 37 minutes during the Raptors' 99-97 win over the Cavaliers on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Patterson managed to record a game-high +/- of +16 despite contributing very little statistically and committing four fouls and three turnovers. Meanwhile, starter Luis Scola's struggles continued, as he scored two points on one-for-five shooting and posted a team-worst +/- of -14 in only 11 minutes. Over the last five games, Patterson is averaging eight points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.4 threes, 0.8 assists, 0.6 blocks, and 0.2 steals in 31 minutes per matchup.

Patterson has played in each of Toronto's five February contests and has averaged 5.6 points and 3.6 rebounds across 27.2 minutes per game.
EDGE Analysis
Patterson decisively belongs to the Raptor's dominant bench rotation boasting the likes of Cory Joseph, Terrence Ross and Bismack Biyombo, though barring a setback to starter Luis Scola, Patterson's role as a stretch four is unlikely to change. However, it should be noted that although he has seen his playing time has increased over the course of the season, his recent production has been chipping away at his season averages of 6.3 points and 4.2 rebounds across 24.4 minutes per game.

Patterson provided five points (2-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt) and two rebounds in 24 minutes during the Raptors' 101-81 win against the Heat on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Patterson is posting nine points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.8 blocks, and 0.4 steals in 30 minutes per contest over the last five games. Teammate Luis Scola has seen only 20 minutes per contest over that same timespan, but they are each averaging 24 minutes per game on the season, and should be expected to split time at power forward fairly evenly over the course of season.

Patterson scored 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt) while adding six rebounds and a steal in 23 minutes off the bench during Friday's win over the Hornets.
EDGE Analysis
The Raptors caught fire from three-point range in the second half, with Patterson being one of their top snipers. He's scored in double digits just three times in the last 12 games, however, and when he's not locked in from downtown Patterson doesn't offer a lot of fantasy value, averaging only 6.6 points, 4.5 boards, 1.4 threes and 1.0 steals over that stretch.

Patterson (illness) will be able to play Saturday against Milwaukee, Charles Gardner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Patterson left Tuesday's contest after just eight minutes due to flu-like symptoms, but after a few days off, he'll be back in action Saturday against the Bucks. He's averaging 5.7 points and 4.3 rebounds in 22.7 minutes per game coming off the bench this season and will provide depth and flexibility to a front court that is still missing Jonas Valanciunas (hand).

Patterson is dealing with flu-like symptoms and will not return to Tuesday's game against the Mavericks.
EDGE Analysis
There weren't any reports prior to the game indicating Patterson was dealing with any sort of sickness, but whatever he's come down with is affecting him enough that he'll sit out the rest of Tuesday's outing. Patterson went scoreless (0-2 3Pt) with one steal and a turnover in eight minutes of action. He should now be considered questionable for Saturday's game against the Bucks, although considering he'll have three full days of rest, it seems likely that he'll be ready to go.
