Fred VanVleet: Raptors Would Have Won Three Titles if Kawhi Leonard StayedCould the Toronto Raptors have been a dynasty if Kawhi Leonard stayed?
Nick Nurse's shuffled Raptors' rotation worked for one night, but does it have legs?New Orleans, La. — Was it an opportunity to experiment or just a chance to slowly reintroduce a slew of returning players?

Lamar Stevens - Questionable for WednesdayStevens (illness) is listed as a question mark for Wednesday's game versus the 76ers.
ImpactStevens has missed three straight contests due to illness. It comes at an inopportune time, as he had recently taken control of a spot in the team's starting five. He has a chance to retake his starting spot Wednesday, though clarification of his status should surface on game day.

Jarrett Allen - Missing third straight gameAllen (back) will remain out Wednesday against the 76ers.
ImpactAllen continues to nurse a bruised lower back, keeping him out of his third consecutive contest. He'll have two more chances to take the court this week -- Friday vs. ORL; Sunday at NYK -- but it's unclear whether he's nearing a return. The fact that he's been ruled out more than 24 hours in advance of Wednesday's game is not the most encouraging signal.

Kevin Love - Remains out WednesdayLove (thumb) will not play Wednesday against the Sixers.
ImpactThis will be the fifth straight absence for Love, who continues to nurse a fracture in his right thumb. The Cavs seem to be handling his status on a game-to-game basis, but it's unclear how close he actually is to returning.

Donovan Mitchell - Off night versus RaptorsMitchell had eight points (3-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound and two assists in 25 minutes during Monday's 100-88 loss to Toronto.
ImpactMitchell had tallied 29 or more points in each of his last four games, so this was certainly an uncharacteristic effort. Mitchell took only 11 shots in 25 minutes of action and hit just three on the night. There's nothing too much to worry about with Mitchell, who will aim to get back on track Wednesday in a tough test against the Sixers.

Fred VanVleet - Mediocre effort MondayVanVleet had 13 points (5-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt), two rebounds, five assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Monday's 100-88 win over the Cavaliers.
ImpactVanVleet saw his typical heavy volume of shots in the contest, but he wasn't particularly efficient Monday, hitting just one-third of his attempts from the field. There isn't a ton to read into here. VanVleet is a key piece in Toronto's rotation and should continue to be heavily involved, and he provides value across numerous fantasy categories. This was, however, his lowest point total of November.
