Defensive edge giving Raptors' old-school rookie Jeff Dowtin Jr. a big opportunityOn a team looking to bump its defensive cred, rookie Jeff Dowtin Jr. could be on the verge of earning himself a contract.
Fred VanVleet - Remains out SaturdayVanVleet (personal) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Pistons.
ImpactVanVleet has been tending to a personal matter recently, and he'll miss a second consecutive game after being excused from Friday's practice session. The Raptors play again Sunday against Cleveland, and it's unclear whether the 28-year-old will be able to play in the second half of the back-to-back set. Jeff Dowtin should continue to see increased run in VanVleet's absence.

Dyson Daniels - Questionable for SaturdayDaniels (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Knicks, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.
ImpactDaniels, who hasn't appeared in a game since Jan. 24, was expected to return from a lengthy absence due to an ankle sprain Thursday, but he was a late scratch ahead of the contest and may sit out again Saturday. His prolonged absence should allow Josh Richardson, Trey Murphy and Naji Marshall to continue garnering solid roles for New Orleans.
