Fred VanVleet hits 2 3s in OT, Raptors beat Wizards 116-109

Fred VanVleet made two 3-pointers in overtime and scored 25 points, and the Toronto Raptors beat the Washington Wizards 116-109 on Saturday to split their two-game series

Returns with excellent night Porzingis finished with 25 points (8-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 7-7 FT), five rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 36 minutes during Thursday's 119-108 win over the Raptors.

Impact Porzingis was not slowed down by the knee injury that held him out of the last two games. Not only did he put up 25 points, but he did so on just 12 shots. Porzingis pitched in on the defensive end too with a pair of blocks and a steal. The only downside of the 27-year-old's night was four turnovers. But as long as he is healthy, Porzingis will be helping fantasy managers close the season strong.

Not on Thursday's injury report Porzingis (knee) isn't on the injury report for Thursday's game against Toronto.

Impact Porzingis was initially considered questionable for Thursday's matchup, but he went through an on-court workout Wednesday and has been cleared to return following his two-game absence. He's posted double-doubles in two of his last five appearances and has averaged 23.2 points, 8.0 rebounds and 3.4 assists in 33.0 minutes per game during that time.

Questionable Thursday Porzingis (knee) is considered questionable for Thursday's game versus the Raptors, Hoop District reports.

Impact Porzingis will reportedly go through an on-court workout Wednesday, at which point the team may know more about the star forward's status. If he's forced to miss another contest, Daniel Gafford, Deni Avdija and Corey Kispert are all candidates to receive additional minutes.

Won't play Tuesday Porzingis (knee) is listed as out Tuesday's game versus the Hawks.

Impact Porzingis had been tagged as doubtful on the initial injury report the Wizards released for Tuesday's game, so his downgrade in status was fully expected. His absence for a second straight game should allow starting center Daniel Gafford to pick up a few extra minutes, while reserve forwards Deni Avdija and Corey Kispert could both be in store for expanded roles as well. Porzingis' next chance to play comes Thursday versus the Raptors.

Doubtful Tuesday Porzingis (knee) is doubtful for Tuesday's game against Atlanta.

Impact Porzingis sat out Sunday against Chicago due to his sore left knee, and he'll likely be forced to miss a second consecutive matchup Tuesday. Assuming he's sidelined, Deni Avdija and Anthony Gill should continue to see increased run for the Wizards.

Won't play Sunday Porzingis won't play Sunday versus the Bulls due to left knee soreness.

Impact Porzingis has appeared in 10 straight contests, including a back-to-back set, but he'll take a seat Sunday to manage a knee issue. In his absence, Deni Avdija and Anthony Gill figure to garner increased roles against Chicago. Porzingis' next chance to suit up will come Tuesday in Atlanta.

Efficient night from downtown Porzingis supplied 23 points (5-10 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 8-8 FT), six rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 35 minutes during Friday's 115-109 loss to the Knicks.

Impact After missing three games due to an ankle injury, Porzingis recorded four 30-point performances over nine contests heading into the All-Star festivities and stayed hot coming out of the break. All five of his converted field goals came from downtown, and he connected on all eight of his tries from the charity stripe. As long as he's healthy, the talented big man should remain a solid contributor for fantasy managers over the final stretch of the season.

Randle scores 46 as Knicks rally past Wizards 115-109

Solid all-around output Porzingis provided 14 points (4-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-7 FT), five rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals in 32 minutes during Thursday's 114-106 win over the Timberwolves.

Impact Porzingis needed 12 shots to score 14 points in what was a rather dull scoring performance, but he still had a decent outing overall after he managed to contribute multiple in each of the five major categories. He took a step back in scoring as Bradley Beal took over with 17 fourth-quarter points, but Porzingis remains an essential player for the Wizards offensively and should remain a reliable fantasy asset. He's averaging 27.1 points, 7.9 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.3 blocks per game through eight February appearances.

Excels with double-double Porzingis produced 28 points (10-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists and one block over 29 minutes during Tuesday's 126-101 win over Portland.

Impact Despite playing fewer than 30 minutes in the blowout, Porzingis managed to secure his second double-double in three games while finishing two dimes shy of matching a season high. Since his return Jan. 30 following a three-game absence due to an ankle sprain, Porzingis has picked up right where he left off. He's averaging 27.5 points, 8.4 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.6 treys and 1.6 blocks over his first eight games back in action.

Game-high 34 points Porzingis finished with 34 points (12-16 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 8-8 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Monday's 135-126 loss to the Warriors.

Impact Porzingis stayed hot Monday with his fourth 30-plus-point outing over his last six games. During that stretch, he's averaging 29.2 points, 7.7 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.2 blocks while shooting 59.6 percent from the field and 51.4 percent from deep (6.2 attempts per game). After a slow start to the season, the sharpshooting big man has picked up his production of late and is currently on pace for career highs in a number of categories.
