Raptors' Gradey Dick: Modest scoring effort in victory
Rotowire
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.
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.

Raptors' Gradey Dick: Poor shooting in loss
Rotowire
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.
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. Dick's usage may continue to decline, as the Raptors have Scottie Barnes, Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett all healthy for the first time this season.

Raptors' Gradey Dick: Active two-way performance
Rotowire
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.
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 pedigree as a 2023 lottery selection.

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

Raptors' Gradey Dick: Will play against Nets
Rotowire
Dick (hamstring) is available for Wednesday's game against the Nets, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
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-digit scoring figures in six of his last seven outings, and he doesn't figure to face a minutes restriction.

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

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

Raptors' Gradey Dick: Iffy for Tuesday
Rotowire
Dick is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Celtics due to hamstring tightness, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Dick is in jeopardy of missing his first contest since Dec. 3 due to the hamstring issue. If the second-year pro is sidelined, Jamal Shead, Ja'Kobe Walter and Bruce Brown are candidates for increased roles.

Raptors' Gradey Dick: Puts up 22 points Thursday
Rotowire
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.
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.

Rotowire
Dick (calf) is available for Thursday's game versus the Thunder, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Raptors' Gradey Dick: Participates in practice
Rotowire
Dick (calf) participated in Monday's practice, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
Monday's season was a light non-contact practice, but Dick continues to progress in the right direction after missing the past four games. Toronto coach Darko Rajakovic expects to have Dick back in the lineup at some point this week, but his status for Tuesday's game against Indiana remains in the air.

Raptors' Gradey Dick: Progressing toward return
Rotowire
Dick (calf), who has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Heat, is improving and expected to practice fully sometime this week, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Dick will miss his fourth consecutive outing Sunday as the team ramps him back up to playing form due to a left calf contusion. The second-year swingman is still considered day-to-day, but he is likely nearing a return to game action sooner rather than later. Dick's next chance to play will come Tuesday against Indiana.

Raptors' Gradey Dick: Won't play Friday
Rotowire
Dick (calf) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Heat.
Dick will miss a third straight game due to a left calf contusion, and it's unclear when he'll be able to suit up again. Davion Mitchell started the first game Dick missed, but Ja'Kobe Walter replaced Mitchell and made his first career start Wednesday against the Pelicans. Dick's next chance to suit up will come Sunday in a rematch against the Heat in Toronto.

Raptors' Gradey Dick: Won't play Monday
Rotowire
Dick (calf) won't play Monday against the Pistons, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
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.

Raptors' Gradey Dick: Leaves early Sunday
Rotowire
Dick left Sunday's 122-108 loss to the Cavaliers in the fourth quarter due to left calf soreness and didn't return, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
Dick posted 18 points (6-17 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and one assist across 30 minutes before leaving the game. The Raptors are set to play the second leg of a back-to-back set Monday in Detroit, and it wouldn't be surprising if Dick was forced to miss his first game of the season as a result of the calf injury.

Raptors' Gradey Dick: Shooting woes from deep Thursday
Rotowire
Dick ended with nine points (4-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt), six rebounds, two steals and one assist in 34 minutes during Thursday's 110-105 victory over Minnesota.
Dick struggled from beyond the arc once again, and in his last four outings since scoring a career-high 32 points against the Bucks on Nov. 12, he has shot only 24.0 percent from outside. The second-year swingman has also averaged 12.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists across 35.3 minutes per game in that same four-game span. Dick has six games with 20-plus points thus far, though he will likely see a decrease in usage with the return of Scottie Barnes (eye).

Raptors' Gradey Dick: Erupts for career-high 32
Rotowire
Dick contributed 32 points (7-20 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 14-16 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Tuesday's 99-85 loss to the Bucks.
The second-year guard set a new career scoring high on the night, but Dick got very little help from an injury-depleted Raptors roster as only two of his teammates even scored in double digits. Dick has fired home multiple threes in nine of the last 10 games, averaging 21.7 points, 2.8 boards, 2.8 threes, 2.7 assists and 1.2 steals over that stretch, but it's still not clear what his usage will look like once the likes of Scottie Barnes (orbital bone) and Immanuel Quickley (elbow) are back in action.
Dick fouled out of Wednesday's 138-133 loss to the Hornets after recording 30 points (11-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-8 FT), two rebounds, one assist and three steals across 36 minutes.
Dick delivered the best scoring performance of his young career before fouling out, and the second-year guard is performing at a high level while doing an excellent job of handling a more significant role on offense. Dick has reached the 15-point mark in all but one of his five appearances and has reached the 20-point mark in two of his last three, so his scoring exploits have been enough to keep him relevant across all fantasy formats. He's also shooting 48.5 percent from the field, which represents an upgrade compared to his rookie year in 2023-24.

Raptors' Gradey Dick: Scores 25 points in loss
Rotowire
Dick accumulated 25 points (9-16 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal over 30 minutes during Saturday's 112-101 loss to the Timberwolves.
With Immanuel Quickley (pelvis) and RJ Barrett (shoulder) sidelined, there have been more opportunities for Dick to start the season. The sharpshooter is 7-for-19 from deep, averaging 16.3 points per game through three appearances. However, for those in category leagues, Dick hasn't provided much outside of his scoring, averaging 1.3 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.4 steals-plus-blocks in 27.7 minutes per game.
