FRED VANVLEET NEWS

Falls flat in loss VanVleet produced eight points (3-14 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and two blocks in 38 minutes during Monday's 116-110 loss to the Celtics.

Impact VanVleet was stifled by Boston's strong defense and is shooting just 29.4 percent from the field over his past eight appearances. He's still posting 13.8 points and 5.9 assists during that stretch, but Toronto certainly needs better production out of its starting point guard, especially against top-tier opponents like the Celtics.

Rough shooting night versus Nets VanVleet ended with 10 points (4-14 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, six assists and one steal in 41 minutes during Friday's 114-105 loss to the Nets.

Impact VanVleet couldn't find his shot from the field, particularly from range in this one. Three-point shooting has been a problem over the last two games for VanVleet, who connected on just one of his 14 attempts between the contests, but it's not something to panic about yet. However, it will be worth monitoring to see if it becomes a trend, which would be a bit more worrisome from a fantasy standpoint.

Fred VanVleet gives brutally honest assessment of Raptors' play amid team's recent struggles Frustrations with the team's recent play are mounting, and Fred VanVleet didn't hold back when assessing the team's last two outings.

Tossed from game VanVleet totaled two points (1-8 FG, 0-7 3Pt), six rebounds, six assists and one steal across 20 minutes before getting ejected from Wednesday's 126-108 loss to the Pelicans.

Impact VanVleet received his second technical early in the third quarter after he clapped in the direction of an official. VanVleet was likely frustrated by his poor shooting performance, and the Raptors were unable to come out on top without their star guard.

Mediocre effort Monday VanVleet 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.

Impact VanVleet 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.

Puts up 26 points, seven dimes VanVleet ended with 26 points (7-18 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 9-10 FT), six rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 41 minutes during Saturday's 105-100 victory over the Mavericks.

Impact After missing Wednesday's game due to illness, VanVleet paced the Raptors in scoring with 18 points in the first half on 5-of-11 shooting from the field as the team fought its way back from an early 15-point deficit in the first quarter to take the lead at the break. He chipped in another eight points in the third quarter before finishing with 26 on the night, which tied OG Anunoby for the game high. VanVleet also made a season-high nine free-throws in the contest and has made at least six in each of his last three games.

Playing Saturday VanVleet (illness) is available for Saturday's game against the Mavericks, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.

Impact VanVleet is back following a one-game absence. This month, he's averaging 23.7 points, 5.8 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 1.3 steals. With Pascal Siakam (groin) and Scottie Barnes (knee) still shelved, VanVleet should see extra usage.

Out due to illness VanVleet has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup against Brooklyn due to a non-COVID illness, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.

Impact VanVleet and Scottie Barnes (knee) join Pascal Siakam (groin), Precious Achiuwa (ankle) and Dalano Banton (ankle) as out, leaving Toronto extremely shorthanded against the Nets. There'll be plenty of available minutes for Toronto's reserves, but Gary Trent and OG Anunoby will likely have to emerge as the Raptors' go-to playmakers if they want to keep pace with Brooklyn's offensive firepower.
