23 Fred VanVleet SG

VanVleet had eight points (3-12 FG, 2-9 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and two steals in 26 minutes during Sunday's 127-81 win over the Pacers.

VanVleet had reached double figures in scoring in eight straight games prior to this one, and this is just the fifth time through 47 appearances that he has been limited to single digits this season. He'll look to bounce back against the Bucks on Tuesday on his 26th birthday.

VanVleet went for 29 points (11-20 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six assists and two rebounds in 33 minutes during Saturday's 119-118 win over the Nets.

VanVleet stepped up with Kyle Lowry (neck), Norman Powell (finger) and Marc Gasol (hamstring) all sidelined, pacing the team in scoring and assists. VanVleet is one of the league's best drivers, capable of creating shots for himself and others, plus he's always a threat to fill it up from beyond the arc. He'll look to keep it rolling during Monday's matchup versus a Timberwolves team that has been a disaster defensively for the vast majority of the season.

VanVleet totaled 20 points (6-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven assists, three rebounds and two steals in 41 minutes during Friday's 115-106 victory over Indiana.

VanVleet scored at least 20 points for the first time in over two weeks. Despite his offensive struggles, VanVleet has still maintained third-round value over the past two weeks thanks to his high assist and steal numbers. Across 42 games this season, he is the 22nd ranked player in nine-category leagues, well and truly exceeding his pre-season ADP.

VanVleet scored 16 points (7-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT) while adding nine assists, eight rebounds and two steals in 35 minutes during Friday's 105-92 win over the Pistons.

The 25-year-old has yet to record a triple-double in his career, but Steady Freddy came close in an easy win for the Raptors. In eight games since returning from a hamstring strain, VanVleet is averaging 17.9 points, 6.5 assists, 4.0 boards, 3.4 threes and 2.1 steals.

VanVleet produced eight points (3-13 FG, 2-7 3Pt), 12 assists, seven rebounds and one steal in 37 minutes during Thursday's 115-109 win over the Cavaliers.

VanVleet made up for a poor shooting performance with a season high assist total. This was just the fourth time through 38 appearances this season that VanVleet has been held to single digits in points, and there's a good chance he'll bounce back from a scoring perspective in Friday's matchup versus the Pistons.

VanVleet had 16 points (6-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine assists and a steal in 39 minutes during Friday's 118-112 win over the Knicks.

VanVleet's showing modeled that of the team, struggling in the first quarter before finding consistency the rest of the way. Since returning from a two-week absence, the 25-year-old has averaged an impressive 21.8 points (51.8 percent from the field, 65.4 percent from three) and 2.3 steals in his last four games.

VanVleet scored 22 points (8-17 FG, 6-7 3PT, 0-1 FT) and added five rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 42 minutes during Wednesday's 107-95 win over Philadelphia.

VanVleet has hit the ground running in two games since returning from injury, as he's scored a combined 49 points in 54 minutes of action. On Saturday in Minnesota, VanVleet hit seven three-pointers, and while he didn't shoot the ball as well Monday, he was able to make his presence felt at the free throw line, where he drained a season-high 11 of 14 attempts. VanVleet's previous season-high for free throw attempts was nine (Nov. 23 at Atlanta).

VanVleet (hamstring) dropped 29 points (11-16 FG, 7-8 3Pt) to go with four rebounds, four steals and two assists in 28 minutes Saturday in the Raptors' 122-112 win over the Timberwolves.

Returning from a five-game absence due to a hamstring issue, VanVleet immediately caught fire from deep in the win, and even saw more playing time than the 25-minute restriction that he had been estimated to play under heading into the contest. The soon-to-be 26-year old is posting career highs in every counting stat thanks to his larger role and significant leap in playing time this season following the offseason trade of Kawhi Leonard to the Clippers. Coach Nick Nurse could again impose a light restriction on VanVleet's minutes again Monday, but it shouldn't dissuade fantasy managers from activating him ahead of Toronto's four-game week.
