Rotowire
Schroder finished with 10 points (3-10 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound and nine assists across 37 minutes during Friday's 119-106 loss to the Knicks.
Schroder led all Raptors in assists while finishing one dime short of a double-double and ending as one of five players with a double-digit point total in a losing effort. Schroder has tallied at least 10 points and eight assists in seven games this year while handing out at least nine dimes in three straight contests.

Raptors' Dennis Schroder: Double-digit dimes in win
Rotowire
Schroder accumulated eight points (3-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, 12 assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 112-105 win over the Suns.
The 12 assists were a season high, and it's the first time Schroder has recorded double-digit dimes since Nov. 2. The 30-year guard is proving he can still handle a starting role in the NBA, and he's averaging a career-best 6.9 assists through 19 games while also contributing 16.2 points and 1.8 threes (his best showing in those categories since 2019-20), 3.1 boards and 0.9 steals a night.

Raptors' Dennis Schroder: Scores 14 points in loss
Rotowire
Schroder logged 14 points (5-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, nine assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 115-103 loss to the Nets.
It's worth mentioning that Schroder banged his left knee Tuesday, and at one point, he was sporting a heavy wrap on the sidelines. However, he returned to play and seemed to be moving around well, so it appears that he was able to shake off the bruise. Schroder has done a solid job facilitating for the Raptors this season, as Tuesday was his fifth game of the campaign with at least nine assists.

Raptors' Dennis Schroder: Produces 15 points
Rotowire
Schroder logged 15 points (5-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, four assists and two steals in 29 minutes during Sunday's 105-102 loss to the Cavaliers.
Schroder continues to excel as Toronto's starting point guard, and Malachi Flynn has yet to put any real pressure on him for more minutes. Over the last six games, only Jakob Poeltl and Scottie Barnes have been ranked higher for the Raptors in nine-category leagues. In that span, Schroder has averaged 20.3 points, 4.7 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 2.3 three-pointers.

Raptors' Dennis Schroder: Scores team-high 24 points
Rotowire
Schroder ended Tuesday's 126-107 loss to Orlando with 24 points (8-13 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound and one assist across 27 minutes.
Schroder was arguably the only positive on a night to forget for Toronto, scoring a team-high 24 points. He has now scored at least 17 points in three straight games, getting things back on track after tallying just 13 points across his previous two games. Despite the lack of overall upside, Schroder remains a must-roster player due in part to the fact he has very little competition for minutes.

Rotowire
Schroder ended Friday's 108-105 loss to the Celtics with 23 points (9-19 FG, 5-11 3Pt), seven rebounds and six assists over 35 minutes.

Raptors' Dennis Schroder: Late addition to injury report
Rotowire
Schroder is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bucks due to right knee soreness.
Schroder wasn't listed on the Raptors' initial injury report Tuesday but is now in danger of missing his first contest of the season. The veteran point guard has been strong to start his first season in Toronto, averaging 15.4 points, 7.7 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 32.3 minutes per game, so his potential absence would leave a big hole in the Raptors' rotation, especially given O.G. Anunoby (finger) and Gary Trent (foot) are both doubtful for Wednesday's contest.

Raptors' Dennis Schroder: Scores 14 points in loss
Rotowire
Schroder supplied 14 points (3-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-7 FT), one rebound, four assists and one steal in 25 minutes during Saturday's 117-94 loss to the Celtics.
Schroder has been a steady contributor for the Raptors, scoring in double digits in each one of his outings while also dishing out 10 or more assists four times. Even though this was one of his worst performances from a statistical perspective, he has a decent floor and should remain a solid asset in all formats.

Raptors' Dennis Schroder: Solid at both ends Sunday
Rotowire
Schroder chipped in 24 points (10-19 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, six assists, one block and two steals across 38 minutes during Sunday's 123-116 overtime victory over the Spurs.
Schroder made his presence felt on both ends of the court but was particularly good as a scorer, as his 24 points tied his season-high mark, and it also meant he had scored at least 20 points in two of his last three outings. Schroder has excelled as Toronto's starting point guard this season after dishing out at least 10 assists in four of his first seven appearances.

Schroder once again led Toronto as a floor general, leading all players in Thursday's contest in assists while posting a double-double in a loss to Philadelphia. Schroder has been the leading distributor for the Raptors this season, handing out 10 or more assists in four of his six outings while posting a double-double in all four of those contests.

Raptors' Dennis Schroder: Big double-double against Bucks
Rotowire
Schroder registered 24 points (9-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, 11 assists and one steal in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 130-111 win over Milwaukee.
The veteran guard is thriving in the starting point guard role for the Raptors, recording his third double-double in five games to begin his Toronto tenure. That's as many double-doubles as Schroder managed in the previous two seasons combined, and his career high is just 10, set with the Hawks in 2016-17. While Scottie Barnes and Pascal Siakam are also taking on more distribution duties as point-forwards this year, Schroder is finding more than enough opportunities to facilitate the offense, and he seems headed for career-best assist numbers in his age-30 season.

Schroder totaled 15 points (5-14 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, 10 assists and two steals in 35 minutes during Saturday's 114-107 loss to Philadelphia.
It was the second straight double-double for Schroder, though he struggled from the field again and has shot just 32 percent from the floor in those games. He did score 10 of his points in the fourth quarter, though he didn't shoot the ball particularly well in the frame as the Raptors struggled to get themselves within striking distance.

Raptors' Dennis Schroder: Leads offense in season-opening win
Rotowire
Schroder registered 22 points (8-17 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven assists and three rebounds across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 97-94 win over the Timberwolves.

Raptors' Dennis Schroder: Double-digit dimes against Wizards
Rotowire
Schroder scored seven points (2-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT) while adding 11 assists and three rebounds in 23 minutes during Friday's 134-98 preseason win over the Wizards.
The veteran guard mainly left the scoring to Scottie Barnes (foot) and Pascal Siakam, instead dishing double-digit assists for the first time in four exhibition contests. Schroder is replacing Fred VanVleet as Toronto's starting point guard, but he's unlikely to replace FVV's production in that category over the long haul -- VanVleet averaged at least 6.3 assists a game in each of the last four seasons, topping out at a career-high 7.2 in 2022-23, while Schroder has surpassed 4.6 APG only once in the last five campaigns.

Rotowire
Schroder recorded seven points (3-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three assists, two rebounds and one steal in 17 minutes during Sunday's 134-93 preseason win over Cairns.
Schroder started once again during Sunday's exhibition matchup but was held to a single-digit scoring total for a second consecutive matchup to begin the preseason. The 30-year-old joined Toronto during the offseason after averaging 12.6 points, 4.5 assists and 2.5 rebounds in 30.1 minutes per game with the Lakers last year, and he appears to be the favorite to start at point guard to begin the 2023-24 regular season.

Raptors' Dennis Schroder: Headed to Toronto
Rotowire
Schroder agreed to join the Raptors on a two-year, $26 million contract Friday, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports.
With Fred VanVleet joining the Rockets on a max deal, the Raptors quickly pivoted to Schroder. There could be more deals to come, but Schroder is currently the favorite to start at point guard in Toronto. With the Lakers last season, Schroder appeared in 66 games and put up averages of 12.6 points, 4.5 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.1 three-pointers.

Lakers' Dennis Schroder: Muted performance in loss

Schroder recorded five points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one assist and one steal in 25 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 119-108 loss to the Nuggets in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals.
Schroder failed to offer anything of note on offense in the Game 3 loss and unfortunately for the Lakers, he wasn't the only one. While he has had a few nice moments throughout the playoffs, his inability to provide consistent production remains an issue. No NBA team has ever come back to win a series after trailing 3-0, something the Lakers will have to do should they hope to reach the Finals.
