GRADEY DICK NEWS

Modest scoring effort in victory Dick posted 12 points (4-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist in 23 minutes during Monday's 104-101 victory over the Warriors.

Impact While Dick has generally been one of Toronto's top scoring options in 2024-25 and got off to a hot start this season, he seems to be slowing down a bit with the team getting healthier lately. Over his last six games, the sharpshooter is averaging 9.7 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 2.2 threes in 25.2 minutes while shooting a poor 32.2 percent from the floor. Dick remains a decent source of treys in fantasy leagues, but he doesn't appear to be playing as pronounced a role as he was to begin the campaign.

Poor shooting in loss Dick amassed 11 points (3-12 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one block in 27 minutes during Monday's 128-104 loss to Milwaukee.

Impact Dick has taken his game to another level for the Raptors this season but didn't have it going during Monday's loss to the Bucks. The second-year forward has hit a rough shooting stretch, going 5-for-23 over the last two games.

Raptors need to find creative ways to unleash Gradey Dick's offence With injured players returning to the lineup, it was inevitable Gradey Dick would get fewer touches. Still, he needs to be more involved.

Active two-way performance Dick contributed 22 points (9-17 FG, 4-8 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and three steals over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 130-113 victory over the Nets.

Impact After a one-game absence, Dick wasted no time getting back to his impressive play. He's scored in double digits in seven of his past eight games (17.5 PPG) and has recorded at least one steal in six straight (1.8 STL). Dick's offensive versatility as a shooter, cutter and passer was on display Wednesday. His usage could take a step back once everyone on the Raptors is healthy, but he's living up to his reputation as a lottery selection in 2023.

Starting Wednesday in return Dick (hamstring) will start in Wednesday's game against the Nets, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Dick will make his 28th start of the season for Toronto after missing Tuesday's loss to Boston with a hamstring injury, suggesting he won't face a noticeable minutes restriction, if any at all. Dick has reached double-digit scoring figures in six of his last seven outings.

Will play against Nets Dick (hamstring) is available for Wednesday's game against the Nets, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact After missing Tuesday's loss to Boston with a hamstring injury, Dick will keep his absence to a one-game minimum and suit up Wednesday. The sharpshooter is coming off a season-low six points in his last appearance during Sunday's loss to the Hawks, so he'll be looking to bounce back against Brooklyn. Dick has reached double scoring figures in six of his last seven outings, and he doesn't figure to face a minutes restriction.

Iffy for Wednesday Dick (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nets.

Impact Dick remains day-to-day after missing Tuesday's game against Boston. In addition to Dick, RJ Barrett (illness) and Immanuel Quickley (illness) are questionable, while Bruce Brown is resting for the second leg of this back-to-back. Once Quickley gets his legs under him, Dick's usage could take a hit.

Won't play Tuesday Dick (hamstring) will not play Tuesday against Boston, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Impact Dick was a true game-time call, but the Raptors will hold out the sharpshooter. With Dick missing his first contest since Dec. 3 and with RJ Barrett (illness) also sidelined, the Raptors will plug Davion Mitchell and Ja'Kobe Walter into the starting lineup.

DECEMBER 31, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Tuesday Dick is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Celtics due to hamstring tightness, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Dick is in jeopardy of missing his first contest since Dec. 3 due to the hamstring issue. If the second-year pro is sidelined, Ja'Kobe Walter and Bruce Brown are candidates for increased roles.

DECEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Season-low six points in rout Dick racked up six points (3-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and two steals across 25 minutes during Sunday's 136-107 loss to the Hawks.

Impact Dick scored a season-low six points Sunday, snapping a six-game streak in double scoring figures in the process. The 21-year-old sharpshooter is still averaging a healthy 16.9 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.1 steals and 2.1 threes through his last seven outings, so fantasy managers can expect Dick to bounce back as a scorer in the coming games. However, things won't get much easier for Dick during a difficult matchup Tuesday against the defending-champion Celtics, who rank fifth in the NBA in threes allowed per game (12.7).

DECEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Drains four threes Thursday Dick ended with 19 points (6-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 33 minutes during Thursday's 101-94 loss to Brooklyn.

Impact Dick has been a bit inconsistent from time to time, but it's undeniable that he seems to be taking a step forward in recent games. The second-year guard has scored at least 15 points in five of his six December appearances, averaging 19.5 points per game and shooting 36.4 percent from deep in that stretch. The shooting numbers he posted in college haven't translated to the NBA yet, but the sharpshooter guard seems to be trending in the right direction based on his numbers in the last few weeks.

DECEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 27 points in loss Dick accumulated 27 points (9-20 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds and two assists in 33 minutes during Monday's 122-121 loss to Chicago.

Impact Dick is establishing himself as a reliable offensive option in a rebuilding Toronto team, and his numbers have been quite good since returning from a five-game absence between Nov. 25 and Dec. 3 due to a calf problem. Dick has surpassed the 20-point mark in three of his last four appearances and is averaging 20.8 points per game in that span, but he's doing so by shooting just 39.4 percent from the floor and 30.8 percent from deep. Fantasy managers in standard formats won't mind the lack of efficiency as long as he keeps producing, but his value could take a hit in category-based leagues if he doesn't turn things around in that department.

DECEMBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Puts up 22 points Thursday Dick recorded 22 points (8-19 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and two assists across 31 minutes during Thursday's 114-104 loss to Miami.

Impact Dick surpassed the 20-point mark for the eighth time this season. Even though going 3-for-11 from three-point range isn't exactly eye-popping, the shooting volume will allow Dick to remain relevant in fantasy, especially considering how depleted the Raptors are right now. The second-year guard has scored at least 15 points in three of his last four appearances, so he seems to be trending in the right direction. He's likely to flourish as a solid scoring weapon due to the absence of other key rotation pieces, such as Scottie Barnes (ankle) and Immanuel Quickley (elbow), for the time being.

Shoots well in return Dick (calf) tallied 15 points (5-9 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two steals and one rebound across 23 minutes Thursday in the Raptors' 129-92 loss to the Thunder.

Impact Because of the blowout nature of the game in addition to the fact that he was returning from a five-game absence due to a bruised left calf, Dick saw his fewest minutes of the season Thursday. The second-year wing started and shot well from three-point land in his return, but aside from his contributions in the steals category, his stat line was mostly lacking. Dick is averaging 17.9 points and 2.4 three-pointers over his 18 appearances thus far, but many of his big games came with Scottie Barnes, RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley (elbow) missing time with injuries. Quickley appears on track to return at some point later this month, so Dick could be headed for a reduction in his 22.7 percent usage rate as the season unfolds.

Impact Dick has missed five consecutive contests due to a bruised left calf, and it's unclear if he has ascended to practicing with contact.

Impact Dick has been diagnosed with a left calf strain, but the severity is unclear. He left Sunday's game early with what was described as soreness, but now there's a bit more clarity. With Dick unavailable, players such as Ochai Agbaji, Davion Mitchell and Jamal Shead could step into larger roles.
